Tesla-Fahrzeuge erfassen ständig ihre Umgebung, überwachen das Fahrverhalten und übertragen Daten in die USA. Ob europäische Alternativen wirklich datenschutzfreundlicher sind, ist schwer zu prüfen. Fast alle Autos kannst du aber offline stellen und für Navi/Stau ein TomTom oder trackingfreies Android nehmen. Die beste Wahl: Fahrrad fahren und Open-Source-Car-Projekte wie AGL (Automotive Grade Linux) unterstützen.

LOCAL AND GENERAL…
A #Wellington periodical recently published #photographs showing a number of infantile paralysis #patients who are under treatment at the Wellington Hospital. At yesterday’s meeting of the Hospital Board, exception to the photographs being published was taken by Mr. C. H. Chapman, who wanted to know who gave permission for the photographs to be taken. He voiced his strong disapproval of such photographs being permitted to be taken, and said he hoped that whoever had taken them would never be permitted to do so again. The chairman (Mr. F. Castle) said as far as he knew no member of the board gave authority. Mr. C. M. Luke stated that his committee intended to bring up the matter at its next meeting.

"If they're going to cave into Zuck's demand to facilitate spying on Instagram users, do we really think they'll resist Kier Starmer's demands to remove Signal – and any other app that stands up to the Snooper's Charter – from the App Store?
It goes without saying that the "bad guys" the UK government claims it wants to target will be able to communicate in secret no matter what Apple does here. They can just use an Android phone and sideload a secure messaging app, or register an iPhone in Ireland or any other country and bring it to the UK. The only people who will be harmed by the combination of the British government's reckless disregard for security, and Apple's designs that trade the security of its users for the security of its shareholders are millions of law-abiding Britons, whose most sensitive data will be up for grabs by anyone who hacks their accounts."

The U.K. news cannot be seen in isolation and follows years of battling between big tech and governments over warranted, legal access to encrypted messages and content to fuel investigations into serious crimes such as terrorism and child abuse.
As I reported in 2020, “it is looking ever more likely that proponents of end-to-end security, the likes of Facebook and Apple, will lose their campaign to maintain user security as a priority.” It has taken five years, but here we now are.
The last few weeks may have seemed to signal a unique fork in the road between the U.S. and its primary Five Eyes ally, the U.K. But it isn’t. In December, the FBI and CISA warned Americans to stop sending texts and use encrypted platforms instead. And now the U.K. has forced open iCloud to by threatening to mandate a backdoor. But the devil’s in the detail — and we’re fast approaching a dangerous pivot."

As the Trump administration concludes its first 30 days in office, three worrying trends emerge at the intersection of technology and democratic governance. New America’s Open Technology Institute has long championed democratically accountable tech policymaking, and over the past month, we have tracked federal actions that run counter to this objective:
- The weakening of oversight of U.S. government surveillance
- The elimination of institutions that protect American consumers and their data
- Systematic efforts to access some of America’s most vital data systems without regard for individual privacy or data security"

Trump’s Tech Governance: Making Sense of the Administration’s First 30 Days
As the Trump administration concludes the first 30 days, three worrying trends emerge at the intersection of tech and democracy.New America
Some people think the problem with mass surveillance is a kind of machine-driven, automated mind-control ray. They believe the self-aggrandizing claims of tech bros to have finally perfected the elusive mind-control ray, using big data and machine learning.
But you don't need to accept these outlandish claims – which come from Big Tech's sales literature, wherein they boast to potential advertisers that surveillance ads are devastatingly effective – to understand how and why this is harmful. If you're struggling with opioid addiction and I target an ad to you for a fake cure or rehab center, I haven't brainwashed you – I've just tricked you. We don't have to believe in mind-control to believe that targeted lies can cause unlimited harms.
And those harms are indeed grave."

Cornered by the UK’s Demand for an Encryption Backdoor, Apple Turns Off Its Strongest Security Setting
Today, in response to the U.K.’s demands for a backdoor, Apple has stopped offering users in the U.K. Advanced Data Protection, an optional feature in iCloud that turns on end-to-end encryption for files, backups, and more.Electronic Frontier Foundation
few lessons from here:
1. Apple are not your friends when it comes to privacy, and they never will be
2. encrypt and backup with your own keys and independently of the big tech platforms
3. campaign against such surveillance requests by govts

Alles, was ich mir für das Winterhalbjahr vorgenommen hatte, konnte ich auch fertigstellen - sogar noch ein klein wenig mehr 😉
Im Rahmen meiner Bemühungen meine Datensicherheit und die Privatsphäre so gut wie mir möglich ist zu schützen, habe ich heute das letzte „Projekt“ fertiggestellt:
Die Synchronisation der Lesezeichen, und sogar der geöffneten Tabs, ohne Firefox-Sync oder ähnliche externe Dienstleister zu nutzen. Geholfen hat mir dabei das Tool “floccus” (https://floccus.org)
Neben der Passwortsynchronisation über KeePassXC hilft es mir den Browser LibreWolf (auf Android Firefox und KeePass2Android ) auf meinen Endgeräten zu nutzen, ohne mir Änderungen und Ergänzungen irgendwie anders zukommen lassen zu müssen.
Vielleicht mache ich mir im nächsten Winter einmal die Mühe und nehme mir die Zeit, Firefox zu härten (https://brainfucksec.github.io/firefox-hardening-guide), aber solange ich all das bereits mit LibreWolf nutzen kann, eilt das ja nicht 😆
Das Sommerhalbjahr kann also mit vielen Fahrradtouren, Wanderungen und neuen Fotos kommen 😀
Danke an @leChris für den Hinweis auf floccus.

![Sub-heading and text from article:
What Is the Privacy Act?
The Privacy Act is a law that limits how the federal government can collect, use, and share information about US citizens and other people in the United States.
The law’s core features include letting people access government records about them; letting people correct those records if they contain mistakes; requiring agencies to limit information collection, publish lists of records databases, and protect data from hackers; and restricting how agency employees and third parties can access records.
Those restrictions on accessing data are at the heart of the ongoing DOGE saga.
The Privacy Act prohibits an agency from disclosing someone’s records—even within the agency—unless that person approves in writing or the agency meets one of the law’s 12 exceptions. Most of the exceptions deal with fairly specific circumstances, such as congressional oversight, law enforcement investigations, court orders, census work, statistical research, and National Archives preservation. But there are also two broad, vague exceptions: Agencies can share records with their own employees who “have a need for the record in the performance of their duties” or with third parties for “a routine use” (defined as one that is “compatible with the purpose for which [the data] was collected”).](https://assets.newsie.social/media_attachments/files/114/029/111/122/233/870/original/cc2b492fa8a2e1b6.png "Sub-heading and text from article:
