I feel like people are just giving up on their privacy these days… but we don’t have to! We should choose products that respect our privacy and support laws that protect it!

Listen to the harrowing tale of European courts, politicians playing games and lobbying to sell out European citizens' data. And what comes next! #privacy #lobbying #BigTech

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..

Facial Recognition Tech Even Google Determined Was 'Too Dangerous' Raises Alarm Bells, Privacy Concerns

Hey Mastodon! 👋 Here is our #introduction post: We are the Data Visualization Lab at Khoury College of Computer Sciences at Northeastern University. You can find more about our work here: vis.khoury.northeastern.edu/

We'd love to be connected to more folks and labs in the realms of #DataVisualization #HCI #xAI #AR #VR #VisualAnalytics #PhD #Research

Our lab has been applying visualization to domain areas like #accessibility #UAVs #Genetics #Privacy #Pedagogy #Networks #GraphTheory

Say hi!

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 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?

First #RaspberryPi earned a shitstorm by hiring an ex-cop specialized in hidden surveillance.

Now they accept an investment by Sony for their propr. AI engine to be included in the next Pi. Which "only sends metadata to the cloud".

Also I think it should be respecting and accepting one's #privacy and be an #OptIn solution that is completely #OnPremise / within one's own IT.

After all, this is why I like and use #Nextcloud and @collabora's @CollaboraOffice #CollaboraOffice and all the other parts of my #TechStack:

I want every single component to be accountable to me down to every bit, and only #FLOSS allows me to have independent audits if need be.

Excellent story on Wired about Telegram's problems with supposedly being "private" and secure, and how Russia is exploiting it wired.com/story/the-kremlin-ha…

IMO Telegram should be treated like Facebook: if you're registered there, don't leave any details, configure all chats to self-delete (especially non-private ones), and FFS do not use it for group chats, whether they're open or closed, as they're not encrypted at all.

#Telegram #Privacy #Security #UkraineRussiaWar #InfoSec #Encryption #Messenger

Features I didn't know were in #NextcloudTalk?

How about the ability to avoid sending all my messages, and my contacts messages to #Google via #Firebase / #FCM?

*checks*
Nope.

I'll be using #Matrix with #Element/#Fluffychat until you decide that #UnifiedPush is a thing and #privacy is actually important. Users already made #NextPush to make it easier. Is the current situation even #GDPR compliant?

This is more important than making the interface slightly prettier in Hub 3.

What does Nextcloud believe in?

"decentralized products as alternatives to centralized platforms."

"Open source is the only way for users to trust their devices"

...in videos posted only to a centralized, proprietary platform.

Take 10 minutes to set up Peertube channel with automatic mirroring of your videos, doing all the things you say you believe in.

I love Nextcloud, but the way you communicate is undermining your message.

#Nextcloud #Privacy #FOSS #Peertube

The theme of this year: Shaping the future of privacy 💙
Many of you would ask yourselves, why this #theme?
Well, Nextcloud has been offering privacy and security since 2019
🕵️ But especially now, we together are shaping the future of privacy.
