In China, smart locks are being used to track citizens and enforce lockdowns
Proprietary "smart" devices are an absolute nightmare. If users can't audit the code they don't know what they are doing and the device works for the tech company selling it rather than the user.

On a really basic level think about the information someone can infer just by looking at data from devices like this:
Your door is opened and locked at 7:30 am everyday and then reopened and unlocked at 6:30 pm but never during the hours in between? Chances are you ....

Lifting the lockdown in Brazil: everything you need to know
On March 18, 2022, a Brazilian Supreme Court judge ruled to block Telegram in the country. That same night, Pavel Durov apologized to the court and asked to delay the ban of the messenger. Three days later, Brazil withdrew its decision to ban Telegram. Let's try to understand the current situation.
Immediately after first messages about the upcoming ban of Telegram in Brazil appeared, the messenger team sent an e-mail to the Brazilian court.
The letter states:
— Telegram blocked 14 channels at the request of the Brazilian court.
— Telegram blocked 19 channels containing similar information.
— In February 2022, Telegram blocked 3 more channels at the request of the court.
— Telegram's global search no longer returns results when searching for "allan dos santos" or similar terms.
— None of these Telegram channels received any monetization.
— The creators of the channels @allandossantos, @tercalivre and @artigo220 were accounts with addresses: @allansantosbr and @allandsantos (these usernames were sent in the block request).
What Telegram has promised to do in the future:
— ToS update.
— New features for reporting fake news.
— Permanent bans of channel owners for spreading misinformation.
The reason for restricting access to channels and individual posts was harsh criticism of the actions of the Supreme Court of Brazil.
If Telegram will ever receive a court order confirming you are suspected of terrorism, if the arguments of the court will be satisfying Telegram's requirements, it may disclose your IP address and phone number to the relevant intelligence agencies.
So far, there have been no such cases. If such a case occurs, information about this will be published on the @transparency channel.
