Each time a new privacy-invasive
feature like facial scanning is implemented, if people in majority comply and accept to use it, it will soon become normality, and other options will be marginalized or even removed entirely.

If each time a new privacy-invasive
feature is implemented people opted to refuse it, it would soon be discontinued.

Each individual opposition to privacy-invasive features matters.

It is an act of self-protection but,
perhaps even more importantly,
it is also an act of protest.

A protest against the normalization of mass surveillance and the loss of privacy rights.

The fact that there are other cameras around doesn't mean that more cameras or additional scanning is not making things even worse.

If we do not refuse,
if we do not fight for our privacy rights,
we will lose them all.

@pluralistic argues that now is the moment for the EU to act while platforms like Threads are degrading.

I don’t think Europe works on that kind of timing, nor it would use the mechanism Doctorow suggests.

This piece is about what leaving platforms costs, and why protecting exit routes may matter more here than technical escape.

Super grateful to @Tutanota for sharing our experience of trying to bring digital rights advocacy to a local level!

Tuta Mail has been the secure, reliable foundation from which we could build this group! Important that we started on the right foot.

Age verification laws are being introduced everywhere - including, Florida. πŸ”žπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

For Joseph, not knowing his own state had introduced age verification, was the final push he needed to take action and do something. So he started the Miami Tech Enthusiast Club @mtec

Don't miss this interview with him to find out why he started the club, its aims & goals, & why he chose Tuta Mail. πŸ’ͺπŸ”
