"A parliamentary committee into rightwing extremism has recommended law enforcement agencies get greater powers to access encrypted messages in national security incidents – despite Asio boss Mike Burgess saying earlier this year he was “not asking for new laws” to address that issue."

The Guardian · Australian authorities need more access to encrypted messages, rightwing extremism inquiry says
Ok, so what happens to people who visit Australia?
Do they have to hand over their id to be able to access social media while they're here?

EURACTIV · Dutch data protection watchdog hits Clearview AI with €30.5 million fine for misusing facial recognition data
Wow! This interview between @agreenberg and @Mer__edith is gold. On #Signal, #SurveillanceTech, the role of #NonProfit|s and #capital. And #AI and drones. And the business model of #discrimination by AI.
One of the many memorable statements:
«The short answer here is that AI is a product of the mass surveillance business model in its current form. It is not a separate technological phenomenon.»

I feel like the panic about tiktok stealing personal data is largely racist?
Because those who panic about it rarely mention anything about Googoe/Amazon/Facebook/Microsoft etc doing the same..
Like, sure.. tiktok steals data. Personal information of users has been one of the most profitable commodities for sale for a number of years now.
But they're all doing it, and if you're only protecting yourself against Big Bad China, you might want to take a moment to ask yourself why that actually is.

Bubbles must deflate or be filled.
The federal treasury and the American taxpayer are the revenue source for the expensive, hyped #surveillancetech that is #GenAI.

@Mer__edith is an extraordinarily clear commentator on the #AI hype and why it is happening right now (not "AI", which is old, but the hype, and who is interested in giving us all the impression that we're at some kind of "pivotal moment" in history). She also tied AI to the massive computational growth connected to the advertisement-surveillance profit model.
