Facebook and Google are handing over user #data to help police prosecute #abortion seekers "As abortion bans across the nation are implemented and enforced, law enforcement is turning to social media platforms to build cases to prosecute women seeking abortions or abortion-inducing medication – and online platforms like #Google and #Facebook are helping.  This spring, a woman named Jessica Burgess and her daughter will stand trial in #Nebraska for performing an illegal abortion — with a key piece of evidence provided by #Meta, the parent company of Facebook." https://www.businessinsider.com/police-getting-help-social-media-to-prosecute-people-seeking-abortions-2023-2 #tracking #Profiling #surveillance #sozialeKontrolle #criminalisation #USA #antireport #MyBodyMyChoice

FBI Hired #SocialMedia Surveillance Firm That Labeled #BlackLivesMatter Organizers “Threat Actors” "A new Senate report calls out the FBI for lying to Congress about its social media monitoring, pointing out the FBI’s hiring of ZeroFox. (...) The FBI’s primary tool for monitoring social media threats is the same contractor that labeled peaceful Black Lives Matter protest leaders DeRay McKesson and Johnetta Elzie as “threat actors” requiring “continuous monitoring” in 2015. The contractor, ZeroFox, identified McKesson and Elzie as posing a “high severity” physical threat, despite including no evidence that McKesson or Elzie were suspected of criminal activity." https://theintercept.com/2023/07/06/fbi-social-media-surveillance-zerofox/ #Rassismus #USA #BLM #FBI #Surveillance #Antireport

Atlanta Police Must Stop High-Tech Spying on Political Movements „ The Atlanta Police Department has been snooping on social media to closely monitor the meetings, protests, canvassing–even book clubs and pizza parties–of the political movement to stop “Cop City,” a police training center that would destroy part of an urban forest. Activists already believed they were likely under surveillance by the Atlanta Police Department due to evidence in criminal cases brought against them, but the extent of the monitoring has only just been revealed. The Brennan Center for Justice has obtained and released over 2,000 pages of emails from inside the Atlanta Police Department chronicling how closely they were watching the social media of the movement….“ https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2024/08/atlanta-police-must-stop-high-tech-spying-political-movements #Copcity #StopCopCity #Atlanta #Surveillance #Repression #Police #Antireport

Signal schützt vor Massenüberwachung – und das zuverlässig. Ende-zu-Ende-Verschlüsselung, minimale Metadaten, Open-Source-Code. Kein anderer Mainstream-Messenger steht da besser da. Wer Angst vor seinem Mobilfunkanbieter hat, vor Vorratsdatenspeicherung oder vor dem neugierigen ISP – Signal ist die richtige Wahl. Wer hingegen ins Visier eines Geheimdienstes oder einer autoritären Regierung gerät, hat ein anderes Problem. Dann reicht kein Messenger der Welt. Dann muss das gesamte Gerät abgesichert sein – und selbst das ist gegen professionelle Spyware schwer. Signal ist kein Allheilmittel. Aber für den Alltag der meisten Menschen ist es das Beste, was es aktuell gibt. #Signal #Datenschutz #Verschluesselung #Surveillance #Privacy

"Emma* (not her real name) thought she’d finally found a way out. Late one night, while her partner was asleep, she spent twenty minutes searching for a family lawyer and reading through a domestic abuse support website, careful to close the tabs afterwards. Two days later, her partner brought it up. He knew which website she’d visited and exactly when. Emma had been careful to only ever use her own device, and she hadn’t noticed any new apps appear on her phone. What she didn’t know was that weeks earlier, during a few unattended minutes with her phone, he had opened the Chrome app and quietly signed it into a Google account of his own. From that moment on, every site she visited was being copied straight to his account, viewable from any device, anywhere in the world. Certo has received a growing number of reports describing exactly this scenario. Our research team investigated, and what we found is a strikingly simple technique that requires no hacking skill, no malware, and no spyware app of any kind — just a few unattended minutes with someone’s phone and a feature that Google built for convenience." https://www.certosoftware.com/insights/cyberstalkers-exploiting-chrome-sync-to-spy/ #CyberStalking #CyberSecurity #Surveillance #Google #Chrome

Bundesregierung setzt sich auf EU-Ebene für mehr #Gesichtserkennung ein: "Digitalcourage hält die Ratsposition, die nur Echtzeitsysteme verbietet, für problematisch und lehnt diese ab. Denn diese Klausel verhindere nicht den Missbrauch biometrischer Daten zur #massenuberwachung Außerdem sei unklar, wie viel Zeit verstreichen müsse, damit es sich nicht um einen Einsatz etwaiger Systeme in „Echtzeit“ handelt. „Vieles wäre mit der Begrenzung auf Echtzeit zulässig, zum Beispiel die biometrische Massenüberwachung aller, die sich 2017 während der Zeit des G20-Gipfels durch Hamburg bewegt haben“, so @digitalcourage@digitalcourage.social weiter." https://netzpolitik.org/2023/ai-act-bundesregierung-setzt-sich-eu-ebene-fuer-mehr-gesichtserkennung-ein/ #netzpolitik #surveillance #antireport

Bundesregierung setzt sich auf EU-Ebene für mehr Gesichtserkennung ein

Im Rat der Europäischen Union hat sich die Bundesregierung dafür eingesetzt, dass biometrische Überwachung teilweise erlaubt wird. Bürgerrechtsorganisationen kritisieren „gefährliche Schlupflöcher“ für neue Möglichkeiten der Massenausspähung. In ihrem Koalitionsvertrag hatte die Ampel noch versprochen, biometrische Erkennung im öffentlichen Raum auszuschließen.

That's pretty nuts guys and terrified. Tom Watson’s first intervention in his new job at spytech firm Palantir is to write a letter to his former colleague Labour MP Clive Lewis to say that the firm has been surveilling his anti-Palantir activities.
