Public backlash after this revelation might have bought us years in our fight for privacy. However, today governments around the world are again pushing for more surveillance. This must be stopped! 🔒

Google Threatens to Kill Open Source YouTube Front-End Invidious for Letting You Watch Videos without Tracking or Ads
Invidious is well known as a privacy-first platform to watch YouTube videos without ads or tracking. Now Google wants it to shut down.Tutanota
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
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)
In other words, it is bullshit.

The best book about Informed Consent in fantasy
Our Internet is paid for via surveillance capitalism. Where our consent is only loosely sought.
Our attention is auctioned off as ads using our browsing metadata and more.

Sometimes criminals hide weapons under their clothes.
“We should ban clothes!” 🚫👖

Do not fall for these misguided arguments.
Most of the time people use end-to-end encrypted apps to talk about the most mundane things.
Sometimes vulnerable people use end-to-end encryption to protect themselves and stay safe.
We should keep and cherish encryption.
We should demand it everywhere.
End-to-end encryption protects our human right to privacy and safety.
We must fight for it! ✊🔒

have a unique perspective on the before and after world.
We use (and build) them now, but we grew up without IoT, without social media, without "smart" phones. When cameras were big and privacy was some sort of the default.
We have an important responsibility to fight for privacy rights so that younger generations will also know the freedom given by these rights.
We cannot let society
make them think this is normal and that nothing else is possible.
We must fight for #privacy for them too ✊🔒

Where's your GDPR statement? Handling a lot of people's identifable personal data here.
And storing it indefinitely.
Why do you think "opt out only" is safe for minorities?
I quite like searching stuff but these seem like very obvious concerns. Maybe you could address them in your FAQ?

People have to make a decision. You can only choose one.
Do you want freedom / human autonomy?
Or do you want pretend safety?
