Outlook is Microsoft’s new data collection service
The new Outlook now appears to be a data collection service for Microsoft’s 772 external partners for targeted advertising.Edward Komenda (Proton)
"... the website loads in a special browser built into the app, rather than your phone’s default browser. In 2022, privacy researcher Felix Krause found that Meta injects special “keylogging” JavaScript onto the website you’re visiting that allows the company to monitor everything you type and tap on, including passwords. Other apps including TikTok do the same thing."
What the hell?? This is so creepy.

Remember kids, there's a pernicious reason why #Google redirects "http://maps.google.com" to "http://google.com/maps".
Because of this redirect, the location permission that you grant to Google Maps also automatically becomes available to Google Search - making your search queries more valuable to advertisers.
The EU is moving forward with #eIDAS despite warnings from over 500 scientists & privacy advocates.
With no requirement that server-side code be released open source, we cannot be sure that our personal data is secure.😱
Thankfully, the #Pirates 🏴☠️ in the EU Parliament did manage to push for an #opensource release of the client-app & the eID will be voluntary.
This isn't over. EU citizens please contact your representatives and demand they respect our #privacy !🥊

I'm always wondering why it is permissible that NZ banks (Kiwibank here) are using Google Tag Manager for user tracking and behavioural insights.
Google shouldn't even know I'm using my bank's internal online banking.

#BraveBrowser is installing VPNs without users' consent, even if you didn't willingly enable their #VPN service. Just stop using #Brave, it's garbage.
Edit: the services are disabled by default, but they were still installed with very little to no transparency about them towards the user, alongside all the other stuff that's often unwanted from Brave users (Pocket on Firefox is to blame too, lol.)

‘The ‘non-profit start-up’ Thorn, founded by actor Ashton Kutcher, is a driving force behind the EU’s campaign to scan the net for child abuse material. Newly public documents and financial information obtained by Follow the Money reveal the blurred boundaries between Thorn’s do-good public face and the powerful business behind it.’

So we are being sent to a #Cloudflare site to get coached on #privacy. #W3C only demonstrates need for being schooled on privacy themselves.
Anyone behind a #PrivacyMatters #EthicalWeb advocacy only demonstrates #hypocrisy or ignorance by simultaneously using a Cloudflare site that is configured to block the Tor community.
You get bonus hypocrisy points for telling privacy proponents to “get involved” by using MS #github.
I’m currently donating monthly to both Wikipedia and Signal through my company's donation matching platform.
This means I keep receiving both Wikipedia and Signal’s pleas for donations. On one hand, if they had automatically matched my professional identity to my respective personal accounts, I would be horrified at such a #privacy violation. On the other hand, it would be marginally more convenient for me.
Hm.

You need to stop using Chrome NOW. It’s not hyperbole: Google just rolled out a change to Chrome that tracks the sites you visit, builds a profile, and shares that with any page you visit that asks.
This is real. It’s not tech bro conspiracy shit.
Google gets its way, bakes a user-tracking ad platform directly into Chrome
Chrome now directly tracks users, generates a "topic" list it shares with advertisers.Ars Technica
It’s a bit rich for #theregister to write about #privacy & then publish the article from a Cloudflared website that blocks Tor users.
@theregister, please fix this #hypocrisy.

- No mention of Cloudflare in privacy policy
- Saying "we do not log"
- Endorsing other Cloudflare site as #ethical product
yet they still use #Cloudflare , completely contradicting their statement.

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.

Microsoft Edge has many convenient features to improve your browsing experience. However, some of those features raise privacy concerns. One, for example, sends images you view directly to Microsoft.Taras Buria (Neowin)
