Who owns your shiny new #Pixel 9 #phone? You can’t say no to #Google’s #surveillance


Source: https://cybernews.com/security/google-pixel-9-phone-beams-data-and-awaits-commands/

Every 15 minutes, #GooglePixel 9 Pro XL sends a data packet to Google. The device shares #location, email address, phone number, #network status, and other #telemetry. Even more concerning, the phone periodically attempts to download and run new code, potentially opening up #security risks...


Don't be a data cow 🐮 on Google's server farm 👎

OpenStreetMap supports mapping surveillance cameras.

Cameras can be identified by location and type.

The area being observed can be disclosed.

Surveillance under Surveillance/https://sunders.uber.space is an OpenStreetMap instance focused on surveillance cameras, the data used is not visualized on the OpenStreetMap.org instance.

It's fucking insane how addicted corporations have become to #tracking everything you do, everything you look at, everything you type, everything you think about.

They've gotten so brazen about it. Shit like this - the #Microsoft #Edge browser routing every image through some "AI enhancer" that also tracks what you're viewing - is now a default setting. I suppose at least people who use Edge can opt out, for now, if they know to.

We need #privacy legislation so badly.

Edge sends images you view online to Microsoft, here is how to disable that

Perhaps because it was not in the best interest of Google for #RSS to succeed? At the end of the day RSS does not work well for ads or #tracking, as opposed to proprietary content feeds.


Did you know that #FDroid isn't only informing you about #tracking with anti-feature warnings, but also removes non-free trackers from apps? #FDroidUserSurvey

To all them parents posting #newborn baby pictures all over social media! I hope your child does not grow up to be like me cuz then you are going to find yourself having to explain why you did such thing!
Every human being must have to make their own choices as far as their #privacy goes so that when they grow up they don't have to fix some bragging moments shared from some dumb parents!

WTF Patreon
Is that an acceptable list of permissions just to verify my patreon name?

Read all my tweets including the private one, access my contacts, follow or unfollow people for me, write or delete tweets with my account... the list isn't even over! No, hell no!

Let's do a bad buzz here, shall we? Retweet this: (as patreon is obviously not on mastodon)
