Seriously, I cannot emphasize this enough Canadian friends:

Bill C-22 SHALL NOT PASS! ⛔️

If you are Canadian, you must contact your representative ASAP to tell them you strongly oppose Bill C-22.

We cannot have this kind of authoritarianism in Canada (or anywhere else frankly).

"Rights groups are appalled at data regulators backing Meta in yet another case of a privacy breach.

A Norwegian citizen lodged a complaint in 2024 against Meta, owner of Facebook, Instagram, and Whatsapp, for the processing of personal data for marketing purposes.

The complaint was passed on to Ireland’s Data Protection Commission (DPC), since Meta’s European headquarters are located there. In April this year, the Irish supervisory body for the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) asked the complainant to settle with Meta.

The complainant refused.

The European Data Protection Board’s (EDPB) guidelines on settlements don’t allow for hush money to close a case when the issue affects a large number of data subjects.

Since Mark Zuckerberg’s tech giant started using a model in which those using the free-version of Meta’s apps had to deal with personalised adverts, EDPB has also stated that ‘Pay-or-Consent’ policies are incompatible with GDPR requirements for free, valid consent."

PSA: Microsoft recently began enforcing automatic updates for all Microsoft Store apps. This applies even if an update changes the app's license / ToS, grants additional permissions, or converts to a subscription model. This is an incredible risk to your privacy, security, and wallet (if you have a payment method on file with MS). I strongly, strongly recommend disabling updates through any available method.

Workarounds include blocking windows store in the firewall, uninstalling the store itself, tampering with windows files to revoke permissions from the store, or editing group policy settings (on supported OS editions only).

DuckDuckGo is reportedly seeing a surge in users after Google pushed deeper AI integration into Search.

Some users appear to be moving toward privacy-focused and AI-optional alternatives instead of AI-generated search results by default.

Interesting shift in how people want to use the web.

The Google AI itself just informed me that Google can ask me for ID if it suspects that I may be under 18. Does anyone know if this has already happened to someone? I have important accounts that I need my gmail to log into. What email provider do you recommend that I use instead? I’m aware of tuta and protonmail but are they reliable that they will not one day shut down the way Skiff email did?

Telling people to use WhatsApp over Signal, or in conjunction with Signal, is stupid.

PLEASE do not use ANYTHING owned by Meta for resistance work.

I promise you, whatever excuse or reason you're thinking of does NOT matter. You are not safe using Meta products. Period.
