If you have been wondering about the effectiveness of the social media ban of under 15 year olds, this study got you :)

Spoiler: 92%+ of kids age 14-15 in #Australia still use it 🥳

Meanwhile IMO forced verification of users had a much better success rate 😉

🇫🇷🚨 FRANCE BANS SOCIAL MEDIA FOR U15s → EVERYONE TO VERIFY THEIR AGE.

“For four months, all of us in France will have to prove our age,” said digital minister, Anne Le Hénanff 😡

If you're in France → you'll need to user your ID card, France Connect, or facial recognition (selfie) to log in.

🚩 What’s sold as “online safety” means #surveillance via IDs checks or face scans. 🚩

We must fight against age verification - or the free web dies!

2/4 This 'Enhanced Border Security Partnership' Framework Agreement would mean an automated exchange of personal data, including highly sensitive information, and access to EU biometric databases to screen and identify travellers.

In short, the US is demanding excessive and unfettered access to information and sensitive personal data of people in the EU, intensifying #surveillance 🙅🏽‍♀️

A leak of the draft agreeement shows that the Commission is giving into US's demands and risking our rights.


Okay, LISTEN UP

DO NOT BUY LG.

Not ANYTHING LG.

Not only are they actively spying on you, not only have they updated their TOS to include requiring you to NOTIFY GUESTS ABOUT WIRETAPPING LAW, on Windows they're pushing ADWARE through WINDOWS UPDATE along with their monitor drivers - including on OLD monitors.

Gamers Nexus has all the deets:

DO NOT BUY LG PRODUCTS.

GN had a three-year-old monitor get an "update" that was adware. It wasn't even part of their investigation. It just happened to come in while they were investigating.

DO NOT BUY LG PRODUCTS.

This is indeed a success for the EFF, but the bigger picture that everyone should see is that #Flock’s mission isn’t just reading license plates; it’s TOTAL SURVEILLANCE. They want to monitor everyone’s public presence and activities, and make it searchable for a fee.

Not only that, they want to insert automation that will INTERPRET what their sensors receive and draw CONCLUSIONS that can then lead to serious consequences to those surveilled. They want to be the arbiters of what “acceptable” public behavior looks like.

It’s not an overstatement that Flock’s mission is a threat to our liberty. We must resist this kind of overreach.

404 Media: How Cops Use Flock to Track People, Not Cars

Jul 16, 2026 at 9:56 AM

Cops have used Flock's FreeForm search feature to look for people with tattoos and wearing specific sport shirts, and searches sometimes include the target's race, according to data reviewed by 404 Media.

..it is unacceptable for eyeware cameras to do the same thing with its surroundings.

Explain toe, why there needs to be an upload channel (if there is one so far) or even a permanent-storage (flash?) chip?

5) In some cultures, it is offensive to even take a picture without first asking consent.
From my point of view, filming me, in particular storing the pictures as you go, is offensive and unacceptable.

I do see a...

3.) Why must there be a recording function? Biological eyes don't record, neither should mechanical aids.

4.) Likewise, we've all read the articles about these driving surveillance outfits, better known as #TESLAs, constantly filming its environment and its interior. (TESLA operators are reported to have made fun of their clients while observing them in the cars).

I can see your point, Elena, the glasses are but a tool. (Also, I've worked with people with disabilities.)
So is a handgun, regarding which people in most countries think that it's distribution to people should be minimized.

Also, many people have concerns even about #SecurityCameras in public spaces with security issues.

So, I'd like to throw in a couple of discussion points for all:

@VeilleOff


We all know the APT numbers for #FancyBear and #CozyBear — #APT28 and #APT29. Both are attributed to Russian #intelligence. #APT1 through 27 are all from #China. Only the #EquationGroup doesn’t have an official APT number? Wake up, you sleeping sheep—we’re being thoroughly taken for a ride here. The Equation Group—run by the #NSA or #CIA — is probably the most dangerous group in the world, and yet it’s the one that doesn’t appear under any number on the #APT list? Who are you trying to fool here when it comes to #cybersecurity?

A linkage to foreign terrorist groups “can unlock certain investigative tools,” such as #surveillance, said one #US counterterrorism ofcl, who like several other officials interviewed for this article spoke on the condition of anonymity….

Lucky this driver was not a person of color, because this would more likely than not ended in jail, with physical abuse, or a tragedy involving firearms. (here, a middle aged white guy, so less danger).

We Can Still Stop California’s 3D Printer Surveillance Scheme

A much younger Aral delivers a warning about where surveillance tech is headed over twelve years ago.

The terms I use might have evolved as I did since then (“free” as in freedom instead of “open” as in open for business, “design” instead of “user experience”, “people” instead of “consumers”) but I’m still working on realising the exact same goal with Small Tech and the Small Web.
