Meet ‘Link History,’ Facebook’s New Way to Track the Websites You Visit
Facebook introduces a confusing new setting as the walls close in on Zuckerberg’s data machine.Thomas Germain (Gizmodo)
"... the website loads in a special browser built into the app, rather than your phone’s default browser. In 2022, privacy researcher Felix Krause found that Meta injects special “keylogging” JavaScript onto the website you’re visiting that allows the company to monitor everything you type and tap on, including passwords. Other apps including TikTok do the same thing."
What the hell?? This is so creepy.

The wave of new AI tools comes with a ton of new #privacy concerns.
A new website where you can upload a photo to identify people shows it’s not limited to those who use AI themselves. And it shows why you should avoid giving your data to random companies.
Do these developments worry you? They worry us..

New Privacy Badger Prevents Google From Mangling More of Your Links and Invading Your Privacy
We released a new version of Privacy Badger that updates how we fight “link tracking” across a number of Google products. With this update Privacy Badger removes tracking from links in Google Docs, Gmail, Google Maps, and Google Images results.Electronic Frontier Foundation
PSA: Google has now begun to roll-out the Ad Topics "feature" onto Android itself. It's not just in Chrome you have to disable the settings. Please #Boost to spread awareness.
If you didn't get the pop-up screen on your Android device (it'll look like the first two screenshots), to opt-out of these settings:
- Go to your device Settings
- Press on "Google"
- Press on "Ads"
- While you're here, press on the "Delete Advertising ID" button and delete it
- Press on "Ad Privacy"
- Review: "Ad Topics", "App-suggested ads", and "App Measurement". Make sure they are all labelled as "OFF". (This page will look like the third screenshot.)
If you don't see "Ad Privacy" in Step 4 then it means that it hasn't been rolled out to you yet. You might need to wait and check back in a couple of days to see if/when it has been implemented to disable these settings.
EDIT: There's another setting to review. In step 2, scroll to "Personalize using shared data". Turn everything off.
#Android #Google #Privacy #AdTopics
So Nextcloud believes:
"#Privacy is a fundamental human right" Only posts videos to #Google's #YouTube.
"building #decentralized alternatives" Only posts videos to a centralized platform.
"We believe in open source" only post Videos to a proprietary platform.
"We value sustainability". Only posts videos to the platform using the most energy.
"users time is important", Only posts to a platform with forced ads.
"fostering diversity/community." Avoids community video networks eg #Peertube.
🤔
Looking forward to seeing the #Nextcloud conference videos, and thus the launch video, released at the same time on #Peertube at https://conf.tube !
Given it costs you nothing and you're all about #FOSS #privacy focused #decentralization, you *will* be putting the videos up on Peertube, right?
...right?
Yes, you can ditch #GoogleMaps now..
#OrganicMaps is here. Use it while offline and feel good about a #privacy-respecting app that doesn't suck you dry of your personal information. Based on #OpenStreetMap this app is gonna blow #Google #Maps out of the water (hopefully ;)
