Man sues #Florida cops over arrest spurred by "93% match" in facial recognition

A man suing Florida police alleges that cops relied on a faulty facial recognition match and concealed exculpatory evidence when they arrested him on a charge of attempting to lure a child in August 2024. The plaintiff, Robert Dillon, was arrested after a facial recognition system flagged him as a 93 percent match to a suspect filmed by a McDonald's #surveillance #camera.

Petition to Withdraw Canada's Bill C-22

Such metadata can reveal highly sensitive information including patterns of movement, association, medical activity, religious participation, and political activity;

An 18-year old has created a search engine specifically to obtain French people's private data, name, SS, bank account...

He's arguing he's not stealing anything, just compiling what's public on internet, including stolen data on the dark web.

So right now people are checking what has leaked on them... by entering a lot of personal info (see the trick?)

At least (?) the kid's very blunt about the fact he wants to make money out of it.😑

@Lucario1829 @osnews Personally, I'll stick with @torproject / Tor Browser and hope they add #DarkReader (cuz adding extrnsions to Tor Browser is severely discouraged) and keep @Waterfox with DarkReader do deal with garbage on the SurfaceWeb that does block,Tor because they are cyberfascists!

I heard there will be a large demonstration in Jakarta and some places in Indonesia.

Here's a guide on how to protect your data security during a protest from EFF, not much but I hope it helps even a bit.
