Well, that's the end of the #ClassAction #court case and payouts.

So... how much was your #privacy worth?

Mine? Apparently, a tad bit north of $40 after the second and now-final payment. TeeeRiffic, ain't it?

The body text of today's email announcing my total payment of $6.26 USD from the settlement administrator for the Cambridge Analytica lawsuit. And yes, this is a legit email, as the funds were deposited within an hour of receiving it.

Oh, I forgot, SKG also have a sister campaign about digital surveillance move by govt. You all can sign up for news.

I already sign up for news. This is not just a UK problem, this is an upcoming internet problem as a whole

✈️ New Blog Post: Your Boarding Pass Is a Skeleton Key. Frontier Airlines Doesn't Care.

Frontier's mobile API returns full passport numbers, home addresses, children's DOB, credit card details, and KTNs for any booking. The only auth? A PNR and last name. Printed on every boarding pass.

Reported March 3rd. 105 days later, still live. They fixed the least important vuln and ghosted me on the rest. They also updated the website code and somehow made the leaks worse.

We can't stand by as governments pursue online safety in ways that gut our rights to privacy and free expression.

Quote from James Baker, ORG Programme Manager: "Stop Killing the Internet will challenge divisive policies that prescribe the wrong medicine of exclusion, surveillance and control to tackle online harms. It will champion positive rights-respecting alternatives, and promote the work campaigns are doing around the world."

UK to require ID or face scan before you can make social media accounts

Ah, the UK government, always at the forefront of innovation! 🧐 Now you need to show your ID just to post a duck-face selfie. Because nothing screams "privacy" quite like a mandatory face scan for tweeting cat memes. 🐱🥴

You don't want to do this.

It's digital verification by a different name. And it could be tied to the government. Anthropic doesn't care about you. It just wants its business back.

"A policy provision for scanning customers’ identity documents could enable Anthropic to distinguish between foreign and domestic users of its most powerful AI model."

Maybe the open source apps could be lying about their source code? For an example, put a version without trackers while the one they use have trackers?

From Internet filters to the UK Online Safety Act, our privacy and free expression rights have been hollowed out.

Digital ID age checks have expanded from porn to new areas of the Internet.

Future measures will include automated takedowns and breaking encryption to scan content on people's devices.

Stripping away rights and creating new risks. Every failed attempt to make children safer online is followed by more surveillance and censorship. In less than a year, the government has expanded age verification to such an extent that it'll be virtually impossible to be online in the UK without handing over identity documents or biometric data to unregulated companies. Children have rights too and these policies will harm their free expression and privacy rights, and push them into less regulated spaces. Meanwhile the business models driving harms are untouched.
