The EU wants to decrypt your private data by 2030
EU's High-Level Group (HLG) carried on under the so-called Going Dark initiative. The group was tasked, by the EU Council in June 2023, to develop a strategic plan "on access to data for effective law enforcement."

Sounds like you can now pay to have all your data sent through Israeli intelligence if that’s what does it for you.

#ICE Set to Vastly Expand Its Reach With New Funds
After the passage of #Trump’s domestic policy #law, #DHS is poised to hire thousands of new #immigration agents & double detention space.
Thousands of new #deportation agents deployed into American #cities. A doubling of #detention space to hold tens of thousands of immigrants before they are expelled. Miles of new border wall, along with #surveillance towers equipped with #ArtificialIntelligence.

A German court has ruled that Meta must pay €5,000 ($5,900) to a German #Facebook user who sued the platform for embedding tracking technology in third-party websites — a ruling that could open the door to large fines down the road over data #privacy violations relating to pixels and similar tools.

The growing surveillance state in the U.S. is far worse than you imagined

A couple of years ago I wrote a tweet thread about how I'd begun to see people in the crypto and finreg spaces expressing excitement about the traceability of cryptocurrencies.
Thinking back to it as I watch Senators and crypto industry executives talk about how delightfully traceable public blockchains are. No pesky warrant required!
#TulsiGabbard’s team has sought spy agency data to enforce #Trump’s agenda

Critical Read about the #BBB - federalism and the future of American #democracy. - Harvard University sociologist/political scientist Theda Skocpol: "The Miller-Trumpites are not interested only in rounding up undocumented immigrants.

"People who have been here for decades, who are pillars of their community, will be rounded up, placed in detention, and then deported, sometimes to their deaths. Families will be broken apart. People who have committed no crime beyond crossing into the wrong country will end up in an “Alcatraz” like facility as if they are hardened violent criminals.
Then there’s all the harm done through spending money on ICE enforcement rather than on anything socially worthwhile. With the money Trump is giving to ICE—more than $45 billion for “detention facilities” alone—we could end homelessness in America, a project that’s estimated to cost anywhere from $11 billion to $30 billion. In other words, we are choosing to have a homelessness crisis so that we can deport your neighbors. This is how warped the administration’s priorities are!"

"As the popularity of ICEBlock, an app where people can share sightings of immigration enforcement officials, has soared in recent days, Trump administration officials have threatened to prosecute its developer and CNN for reporting on the platform. But legal experts tell WIRED that there is nothing illegal about the app and prosecuting its creator would be unconstitutional.
The app, which launched in April, allows users to anonymously share the locations of ICE agents within a 5-mile radius. Joshua Aaron, the app’s developer, says ICEBlock is quickly growing, with more than 241,000 users. As of this writing, it’s the third-most-downloaded free iPhone app in the United States, after the Love Island app and ChatGPT.
US attorney general Pam Bondi was on Fox News Monday talking about ICEBlock, when she spoke directly about Aaron, the app’s sole developer. “We are looking at him,” she said. “And he better watch out.” Speaking alongside President Donald Trump outside a migrant detention center known as “Alligator Alcatraz” in Florida on Tuesday, Homeland Security secretary Kristi Noem said the government was looking into prosecuting CNN.
“What they’re doing is actively encouraging people to avoid law enforcement activities and operations and we’re going to actually go after them and prosecute them,” she said. “What they’re doing, we believe, is illegal.”

But legal experts tell WIRED that ICEBlock falls under protected speech. “That is as basic and uncontroversial a First Amendment principle as they come,” says Alex Abdo, the litigation director at the Knight First Amendment Institute at Columbia University. “So, it's pretty shocking to see federal law enforcement officials suggesting that there's anything here to investigate.”"

So you think that Big Tech monitoring your every move isn’t a problem?
But what if you show up at the hotel at 9pm and the hotelier can ask a credit bureau how much you can afford to pay for the room? What if they can find out that you’re in chemotherapy, so you don’t have the stamina to shop around for a cheaper room? What if they can tell that you have a 5AM flight and need to get to bed right now? What if they charge you more because they can see that your kids are exhausted and cranky and the hotel infers that you’ll pay more to get the kids tucked into bed? What if they charge you more because there’s a wildfire and there are plenty of other people who want the room?

The #Trump admin has, for the first time ever, built a searchable national #citizenship #data system.
The tool, which is being rolled out in phases, is designed to be used by state & local election officials [sure] to give them an easier way to ensure only citizens are voting. But it was developed rapidly without a public process, & some are already worrying about what else it could be used for.
NPR is the first to report….

“We mapped the street-level surveillance of so-called atlanta. Our goal is to make offensive and defensive approaches to surveillance technology more possible and for this work to be replicable…
We desire the complete destruction of the entire panopticon and all of the colonial infrastructure it seeks to safeguard. May this information aid in that project.”
the files are organized by camera type and can be found here as well as a guide in the with the hope that it might be useful to anyone interested in doing this work in their own area.
