EFF is currently suing the San Francisco Police Department over their use of semi-private camera networks to spy on protests. Now, an organization is trying to expand those camera networks to Portland and Seattle. https://t.co/S9GUxhMQXJ — PolitiTweet.org

Sometimes, people are motivated to lock down their social media after experiencing scary harassment, doxxing, or stalking. Use our teaching resources to compassionately guide people as they learn to protect themselves online. https://t.co/exfi0nesKI — PolitiTweet.org

On Monday, as part of MozFest, Electronic Frontier Alliance member @STOPSpyingNY will be hosting a discussion about digital activism and surveillance during the pandemic. https://t.co/PlKJrBcOD5 — PolitiTweet.org

EFF @EFF

Encryption is what protects our privacy & security. The @fbi doesn’t need a new way to evade it. https://t.co/buhIXOozA5 — PolitiTweet.org

EFF @EFF

FLoC is rooted in the false premise that we have to choose between “old tracking” and “new tracking.” Instead of re-inventing the tracking wheel, we should build a better world without the problems of targeted ads. https://t.co/ovCOrNMEce — PolitiTweet.org

EFF @EFF

Killing the tracking cookie is good for privacy, but it will mostly affect Google’s smaller competitors, and will barely put a dent in Google’s own surveillance. Don’t expect Google to stop tracking you any time soon. — PolitiTweet.org

EFF @EFF

The third-party cookie is on its way out. Google faces pressure from regulators, users, and competitors like Apple and Mozilla who have already restricted access to trackers. Removing cookies from Chrome is the next logical step. — PolitiTweet.org

EFF @EFF

While iOS now grants users control over how they’re tracked, Android continues to allow third-party trackers in every app access to its Ad ID, the equivalent of a third-party cookie. And Google owns the largest mobile ad network in the world. https://t.co/rKtaInQbhZ — PolitiTweet.org

EFF @EFF

Finally, mobile apps will be totally unaffected by changes to cookies. As phones have grown more popular and more powerful, in-app ads have gradually eaten away at the Web advertising market. And mobile apps still give trackers free rein. — PolitiTweet.org

EFF @EFF

Google controls over 60% of the browser market, and nearly 2 billion users have Google accounts. Hundreds of millions of users likely share their history through Chrome Sync. @Google must clarify whether it will continue using their data to target ads. https://t.co/kyRDIyBK87 — PolitiTweet.org

EFF @EFF

That would be Chrome Sync. Whenever a user downloads Chrome, they’re nagged to sign in and “sync” their data with Google. By default, their entire browsing history is shared with Google, and can be used to target ads. https://t.co/I2fly3CaV3 https://t.co/WqMaK3laCE — PolitiTweet.org

EFF @EFF

According to Datanyze, Google Sign-In is used by nearly 30,000 domains around the Web. This is one of several sources of web browsing data Google will continue to access without cookies, and it’s not even the biggest. https://t.co/AUhQ3zsk4o — PolitiTweet.org

EFF @EFF

Google still has ways of tracking your browsing on third-party sites, too. For example, any time you “Sign In with Google” on an independent app or website, Google can tie that activity to your account. It’s not clear how Google uses that data. — PolitiTweet.org

EFF @EFF

For starters, nothing is changing with Google’s “first-party data,” collected through its products like Search and YouTube. Without third-party cookies, Google, Facebook, and other big platforms will have a comparative advantage over independent third-party advertisers. — PolitiTweet.org

EFF @EFF

We’ve written about the problems with Federated Learning of Cohorts (FLoC), one of Google’s proposals to replace tracking cookies for advertisers. But even without this new technology, Google’s post-cookie surveillance will be nearly as powerful as ever. https://t.co/ovCOrO4f3M — PolitiTweet.org

EFF @EFF

Last week, Google announced that after phasing out third-party cookies, “we will not build alternate identifiers to track individuals as they browse across the web, nor [] use them in our products.” That’s nice, but a far cry from not tracking you. https://t.co/TgUWSK25xv — PolitiTweet.org

EFF @EFF

Don’t be fooled: Google’s latest announcement on third-party cookies doesn’t mean it will stop tracking you. Thread. https://t.co/MS5yOuR3Cu — PolitiTweet.org

EFF @EFF

We implore Apple and Google to make it clear that shady location data brokers are not welcome on their app stores. https://t.co/PJIYEpaEqb — PolitiTweet.org

EFF @EFF

In the process of compiling data for the Atlas of Surveillance, we noticed a peculiar trend: college campuses are acquiring a surprising number of surveillance technologies. Here’s what we’ve found so far: https://t.co/VP49dVhLfR — PolitiTweet.org
