#Privacy-Aware
I know im goin on about this a lot but please contact your senators about opposing KOSA and the KIDS Act. Please make friends and family aware of how this will effect them and their privacy.
Okay, so I guess people in Texas can't use this app anymore. How many of my friends are going to disappear now? ☹️

Also, this isn't going to stop with Texas. If the KIDS Act or KOSA isn't stopped, this'll be your future, too:

Fed friends: we are aware that some HHS employees are being targeted for their public service in DEI and health equity. Now is a good time to ensure you are comfortable with the privacy status of your public profiles, including LinkedIn.

Reminder to our international friends that under no circumstances should you be travelling to the United States. Avoid all unnecessary or leisure travel for your safety and privacy. Palantir doesn’t stop spying on you once you leave the country and it puts your nation at risk. Be aware.
The international boycott on the US under Trump continues. We call on our international allies to continue boycotting the United States. Canada alone has reduced alcohol purchases by 85%.

The US is welcome to join us by launching a general strike. #3E #BoycottUSA

I also want to say that each and every IRS employee takes your privacy seriously. Up until the Doge-bags, we had an excellent record of not disclosing taxpayers' data. I say all of this to make you aware. Knowledge is power.

guy i really really need to stress that i am aware it's a privacy nightmare and i don't need you to talk to me like i'm a twelve year old. if you cannot parse "car drivers deserve fewer rights" as a less than totally serious statement you need to work on yourself

Great thread with a ton of great articles. Everyone should be aware of what is going on with internet privacy.
Congress is about to make a huge push into online ID verification, entrenching the power of big tech and mandating that they collect even MORE data on users. Mass surveillance/censorship laws are being framed as “child safety” but they’re really abt at removing LGBTQ ppl, repro justice info, etc.

Oh wow. We're all aware of Luxury Surveillance, now Luxury Privacy too

If this resonates, start with small steps. Privacy isn’t about going dark; it’s about being intentional with your data. Stay aware, stay smart.

We make privacy and security tech. Privacy and security involve defending against adversaries actively adapting and improving. Companies developing offensive security tech including remote exploits and data extraction tools are aware of GrapheneOS. It's made with that in mind.

I used to work in identity verification at Login.gov, leading an anti-fraud team. We held the Privacy Act sacrosanct, aware that the law really didn't have any teeth so it was up to our good faith and good judgement to uphold the law and protect Americans privacy.

are there any up and coming Discord alternatives that people are aware of? especially if theyre better on privacy.

i havent gotten hit by age-verification stuff yet but enough mutuals have gotten tagged that i feel i should start actively looking elsewhere

There’s no reason for all the drama. Cover your face if you want but there’s no expectation of privacy in public anyhow. Be aware of that fact and make your own decisions

“People have to be very aware that there’s a surveillance aspect to the data,” says one expert. “You're sharing your most intimate sexual thoughts because you're lost in the moment.”

It’s starting to get a little ridiculous how this site still has no privacy options or locked accounts. Genuinely. The interaction settings feel like they’re aware people want some level of privacy and choice in interaction but it’s not enough dude

🧵 This might be the aspect of surveillance that ppl who aren't obsessed with this stuff are least aware of: the line between corporate and state surveillance no longer exists, and legal rights (to privacy, etc.) don't matter when the police can contract out violations of those inconvenient rights.
Big takeaway here is a mass erosion of barriers between governmental and corporate data collection/surveillance--and the idea that the one-off surveillance of walking past a single CCTV camera is over, the consolidation of ALL data means true mass surveillance from 100 redundant pieces of data.

I think it speaks to people being more deliberative, people who are aware of the risks of online communication and who value personal privacy and may therefore be less hostile to others through a combination of being more thoughtful in general and less inclined to be abusive for safety as well

Here’s the current Chair of the EHRC saying that she doesn’t think trans people have the right to privacy. Absolutely shameful. Not to mention a serious breach of the human rights she is supposed to safeguard. (And she’s wrong. The Supreme Court didn’t address the privacy issue so far as I’m aware.)
Here it is... the smoking gun that should bring down this entire EHRC committee.
