EFF @EFF

Comprometerse con los derechos humanos en una democracia requiere higiene cívica, rechazando herramientas no democráticas. India debe retirar sus nuevas reglas sobre intermediarios de Internet al atentar contra el cifrado y permitir la censura. https://t.co/9jiTVAv15S — PolitiTweet.org

Help end warrantless FBI surveillance of communications. It’s time to close the backdoor in Section 702 of FISA by telling your representatives to support @RepZoeLofgren @RepJayapal @RepThomasMassie @davidson @WarrenDavidson's amendment to H.R. 4505. https://t.co/bZqmgEDsAw — PolitiTweet.org

EFF @EFF

That’s why the U.S. needs comprehensive data privacy regulation more than ever. This kind of abuse is not inevitable, and it must not become the norm. https://t.co/LDlTKzYc5h — PolitiTweet.org

EFF @EFF

All of this underlines just how harmful a collection of mundane-seeming data points can become in the wrong hands. We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: metadata matters. https://t.co/wnDuRNXQKy — PolitiTweet.org

EFF @EFF

Another piece of the puzzle is the ad ID, another so-called “anonymous" label that identifies a device. Apps share ad IDs with third parties, and an entire industry of “identity resolution” companies can readily link ad IDs to real people at scale. https://t.co/1dmvC1PCfs — PolitiTweet.org

EFF @EFF

In particular, there’s no such thing as “anonymous” location data. Datapoints like one’s home or workplace are identifiers themselves, and a malicious observer can connect movements to these and other destinations. In this case, that includes gay bars and private residences. — PolitiTweet.org

EFF @EFF

Apps and data brokers claim they are only sharing so-called “anonymized” data. But that’s simply not possible. Data brokers sell rich profiles with more than enough information to link sensitive data to real people, even if the brokers don’t include a legal name. — PolitiTweet.org

EFF @EFF

But Grindr is just one of countless apps engaging in this exact kind of data sharing. The real problem is the many data brokers and ad tech companies that amass and sell this sensitive data without anything resembling real users’ consent. https://t.co/v5qRBm8bYN — PolitiTweet.org

EFF @EFF

...before the Norwegian Data Protection Authority fined Grindr earlier this year, specifically warning that the app’s data-mining practices could put users at serious risk in places where homosexuality is illegal. https://t.co/GRo5xAvVmG — PolitiTweet.org

EFF @EFF

This is not the first time Grindr has been in the spotlight for sharing user information with third-party data brokers. The Norwegian Consumer Council singled it out in a 2020 report… https://t.co/Zm8ZEupboI — PolitiTweet.org

EFF @EFF

Why should you care about data brokers? This story—about a Substack publication outing a priest with location data from Grindr—shows how easy it is for anyone to take advantage of data brokers’ stores to cause real harm. https://t.co/5Y4nWnucez — PolitiTweet.org

EFF @EFF

Photos you provide for identification are often shared, without your consent, with law enforcement, the FBI, ICE, and others. Who Has Your Face? https://t.co/iezQmsF40I — PolitiTweet.org

Venmo still has time to make transactions and friends lists private by default, and we hope it makes the right choice. https://t.co/bJoWrXcmOK — PolitiTweet.org

EFF and Internet Archive amicus brief: Scraping is not hacking and doesn't violate the CFAA https://t.co/1e8YJ5xvxN — PolitiTweet.org

EFF @EFF

It's the last day to join EFF for just 20 bucks, and stand with members around the world for online privacy & free speech. Your rights to explore ideas and hold a private conversation are more crucial than ever, and we can use your help. https://t.co/rdBS1dOMWy https://t.co/VGcy6EYBvA — PolitiTweet.org

EFF @EFF

Scraping is not a crime. Along with the @internetarchive, we're telling the Ninth Circuit that hiQ Labs did not violate federal law by collecting publicly available information from LinkedIn. https://t.co/1e8YJ5fUGf — PolitiTweet.org

EFF @EFF

EFF's @jenuhhveev asks, “Would you share your credit card statement with your friends? Probably not." That's why it's past time for Venmo to go private by default. https://t.co/WOMtUp09Kj — PolitiTweet.org

EFF @EFF

Part of a commitment to human rights in a democracy requires civic hygiene, refusing to create the tools of undemocratic power. India should withdraw and reconsider its new internet intermediary rules that endanger encryption and allow censorship. https://t.co/Fz31Ru0sri — PolitiTweet.org

El dictamen presentado por el Defensor General del Tribunal de Justicia de la UE sobre el art. 17 de la Directiva sobre derechos de autor reduce el riesgo de bloqueo excesivo. Pero, por desgracia, permite la aplicación de filtros de subida obligatorios. https://t.co/a0yMLlWzEc — PolitiTweet.org

EFF @EFF

The opinion of the Advocate General of the EU Court of Justice on #Article17 Copyright Directive is a warning to Member States that, without sufficient user safeguards, national laws will undermine the “essence” of the right to freedom of expression. https://t.co/9sJdvu5d2N — PolitiTweet.org

EFF @EFF

Secure end-to-end encryption is vital to protect human rights. India should withdraw and reconsider the new internet intermediary rules that endanger encryption and enlist messaging services to mandate content filters and traceability. https://t.co/Fz31Ru0sri — PolitiTweet.org

EFF @EFF

Governments deploy spyware against journalists, lawyers, and activists--and governments also harbor those companies profiting off those services. It's time to get serious about remedies and prevention. #PegasusProject https://t.co/I58h9UubBx — PolitiTweet.org

EFF @EFF

We don’t agree with the EU top court’s advisor that mandatory copyright upload filters can be reconciled with fundamental rights. However, the Attorney General got it right by focusing on how to avoid overblocking of legitimate content. https://t.co/9sJdvumOrn — PolitiTweet.org
