The US is considering a new way to fight online privacy

[Pirat_Nation 🔴 @Pirat_Nation]

The US is considering a new way to fight online piracy.

A new bill would allow copyright owners to ask courts to block foreign piracy websites. The orders could apply to internet providers, DNS services, and even VPN companies.

People often use VPNs to get around website blocks. If VPNs are included, bypassing these blocks could become much harder.

But this is only a proposed bill right now. Nothing has changed yet.
If it passes, it could make piracy sites much harder to access in the US

Google Phones with Android stock spies on you while idle sending data packages to the company's servers. GrapheneOS doesn't.

Now it's on you. Choose your OS.

[Smartphones sans Google (GAFAM) @Sans_Google]

What happens on your Android phone when you simply leave it locked and untouched?

A 72-hour packet capture study by PraveenTechWorld measured background network activity on Pixel 8 devices.

According to the study, stock Android generated 348.4 outbound requests per hour toward Alphabet infrastructure, while their GrapheneOS setup without Google services recorded 0.0.

The researchers captured the traffic externally and published the raw dataset.

The interesting part isn't just the number. It's being able to measure what the phone is doing when you're not using it.

Would you expect 348 connections an hour from an idle phone?

Disney+ has updated its subscriber agreement to make it clear that ads and promotional content can appear on any subscription plan, including plans that are marketed as ad-free.

This doesn’t mean every movie or episode will suddenly have commercial breaks. Disney says promotions can appear before or after content, while live programming can still include traditional ads.

Basically, you might be paying extra to avoid ads while Disney’s says: we can still show you some.

All this surveillance they are trying to enforce isn't normal.

The EU is pushing Chat Control again, for the 3rd time.*

If it passes, companies will be forced to scan all of your private messages to look for CSAM.

Obviously, this violates your privacy rights. OPPOSE, RESIST, AND DO NOT COMPLY.

[Tuta @TutaPrivacy]

😡🚨 Next round coming up: Let's fight against #ChatControl 🚨😡

In July, the European Parliament approved Chat Control 1.0 👉 NOW, On September 29, the negotiations for CHAT CONTROL 2.0 RETURN.

Unfortunately, this is a much bigger threat for everybody's #privacy.

At Tuta we will continue to SAY NO to Chat Control and fight for our right to privacy ✊❤️
