Your data is everywhere. The government is buying it without a warrant
A whole industry of data brokers buys up vast quantities of electronic information from cell phone apps and web browsers and sells it to advertisers who use that data to target ads. The same industry also sells that data, including bulk cell phone location data, to police departments and federal government agencies in ways that can reveal intimate details about Americans without a warrant.\

Now, privacy advocates say that the best chance for Congress to close the well-known loophole around the Fourth Amendment that allows for that sort of governmental snooping is coming up in just a few weeks.\
\
That's when Congress is expected to take up reauthorization of what is known as Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, which is set to expire on April 20.

A redditor (Ok_Lingonberry3296) traced $2 billion in nonprofit grants and lobbying records across 45 states to figure out who's behind the age verification bills.
The answer is Meta - a company that profits from your data writing laws that collect more of it.

RE: mastodon.social/@madeindex/113…
Germany's government (among many others)* continues working hard on their surveillance state.
They want that #Palantir everywhere¹ & in anything (except their own space, obviously for "safety reasons"), and they keep expanding the #AI mass #surveillance, now even to their capital².
It's just funny to watch these absolute hypocrites, proof they have 0 principles, while talking about how liberal their country is.

🇪🇺 🚨Final negotiations on Chat Control 2.0 just started between the European Commission, the European Parliament, and the Council of the EU.
What is good:
✅ Encryption will not be broken
What is bad:
❌ Commission & Council want #IDchecks
Lots of journalists, whistleblowers, activists and dissidents choose Tuta to protect their identity. We hope the European Parliament will stick to their decision to oppose mass #surveillance and #censorship.
