I wonder what Canada is going to do to stand up for the sovereignty of its citizens.

"Emma* (not her real name) thought she’d finally found a way out. Late one night, while her partner was asleep, she spent twenty minutes searching for a family lawyer and reading through a domestic abuse support website, careful to close the tabs afterwards.
Two days later, her partner brought it up. He knew which website she’d visited and exactly when.
Emma had been careful to only ever use her own device, and she hadn’t noticed any new apps appear on her phone. What she didn’t know was that weeks earlier, during a few unattended minutes with her phone, he had opened the Chrome app and quietly signed it into a Google account of his own.
From that moment on, every site she visited was being copied straight to his account, viewable from any device, anywhere in the world.
Certo has received a growing number of reports describing exactly this scenario. Our research team investigated, and what we found is a strikingly simple technique that requires no hacking skill, no malware, and no spyware app of any kind — just a few unattended minutes with someone’s phone and a feature that Google built for convenience."

Bundesregierung setzt sich auf EU-Ebene für mehr #Gesichtserkennung ein:
"Digitalcourage hält die Ratsposition, die nur Echtzeitsysteme verbietet, für problematisch und lehnt diese ab. Denn diese Klausel verhindere nicht den Missbrauch biometrischer Daten zur #massenuberwachung Außerdem sei unklar, wie viel Zeit verstreichen müsse, damit es sich nicht um einen Einsatz etwaiger Systeme in „Echtzeit“ handelt. „Vieles wäre mit der Begrenzung auf Echtzeit zulässig, zum Beispiel die biometrische Massenüberwachung aller, die sich 2017 während der Zeit des G20-Gipfels durch Hamburg bewegt haben“, so @digitalcourage@digitalcourage.social weiter."

That's pretty nuts guys and terrified.
Tom Watson’s first intervention in his new job at spytech firm Palantir is to write a letter to his former colleague Labour MP Clive Lewis to say that the firm has been surveilling his anti-Palantir activities.
Is there anything the Big Brother doesn’t want to know about us?

Meet The Pardoned Delete Mechanic Who Wants To Stop Your Car From Spying On You
Pardoned mechanic Matt Geouge has built a device that blocks vehicles from spying on their drivers, because in 2018 his fiancée realized investigators were following her. Now he braces for steep opposition from manufacturers as he unveils his new product.

De Europese Commissie is voor de zoveelste keer spelletjes aan het spelen om toch stiekem chatcontrole in te kunnen voeren.
Ze willen in feite, al onze berichten en chats scannen, o.a. met AI.

Quoting
🇪🇺🚨 Next Tuesday, a dirty deal on #ChatControl 2.0 looms, allowing PERMANENT mass scanning of our private chats (so-called #SearchPlans). 😱 Speak up and email your MEPs NOW to stop this:

We’ve been put on a watchlist 🚨
“It is deeply concerning to see the Prevent duty being used to enable the monitoring of people and organisations simply because they are critical of the programme.
That raises serious questions about freedom of expression and the right to dissent and protest [in the UK].”

You work in tech. You regularly have to input some form of MFA, whether passkey or a rolling code MFA from something like Google Authenticator or Authy. You work from home, and slack is the primary form of communication, with email becoming a distant secondary form. Time AFK (Away From Keyboard) is possible if you have your #smartphone, and you panic if it's not within reach.
How do you go to a #dumbphone, in this scenario? I would like to ditch my smartphone, carry a camera on #bike trips, reduce my #addiction to the internet a bit, reduce the #surveillance of my activity a bit.
My main concern is work requirements for communication and MFA. I am curious about things like #grapheneos, #fairphone, dumbphones. I have a Google #Pixel, an older model, and definitely don't want something newer that has more #AI integration, surveillance.
Have you done this? How did it go? Please boost.
