New research suggests that privacy in the metaverse might be impossible
Protecting privacy in the metaverse is critical, and it's shocking how little data is needed to uniquely identify a user in the metaverse.Louis Rosenberg, Unanimous A.I. (VentureBeat)
(In case you were thinking of learning/using Go, I’d say skip it. There are plenty of other fish in the sea. Unless you like telemetry by default in your programming languages and tools, that is. In fact, just don’t touch anything tainted by Google if you can help it.)

NordVPN will now comply with law enforcement data requests
NordVPN is still a no-logs VPN but it will comply with court ordersAnthony Spadafora (TechRadar pro)
"We confirm that iOS 16 does communicate with Apple services outside an active VPN tunnel. Worse, it leaks DNS requests. #Apple services that escape the VPN connection include Health, Maps, Wallet. We used @ProtonVPN and #Wireshark. Details in the video:

Coronavirus: Call for single EU tracking app with data protection
EU data watchdog calls for a single, privacy-centred virus app, instead of dozens of national ones.BBC News
There is a nice infographic in this article explaining how the global COVID-19 tracking app could work but they missed a few things. Here is revised and improved variant 😀
Coronavirus: Call for single EU tracking app with data protection | BBC News
Europe's data protection watchdog has called for a single coronavirus app to be used across the EU, instead of every country making its own.
Several countries are developing tracking apps, but privacy advocates warn of the dangers they might pose.
The European Data Protection Supervisor says a single EU app with strong data protection built in is the best solution to the coronavirus pandemic.
This looks like a shameful general #surveillance law entirely unfitting for any free democracy.

This time it's the EU, but the fallacy "if you're against surveillance, you're for child sex abuse" has been successfully used in the US as well.
#chatcontrol is an EU plan to spy in real time on *all* your communication, including encrypted messengers like Signal. Let me put it bluntly: If the state doesn't trust me, I will never trust the state. This is unacceptable. Period.
This article about a #CIA offshoot funding several prominent Internet #privacy projects is pretty damning on its own, but it will not change my app usage decision. I do not personally use #Signal to be protected from nation-state level #surveillance.
However, it put in perspective Edward Snodwen's recent "testimonial" for the app as being alive as a good reason to use Signal. Now I do not believe this is the main reason or even a reason at all he hasn't been assassinated on the US government orders yet.
Bottom line, even if Signal had a US-government backdoor, I'd still recommend its use to protect oneself from corporate surveillance.
