Patrick LeavyA win for <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/privacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#privacy</a> 😁 against <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Meta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Meta</a> and a loss for <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/surveillancecapitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#surveillancecapitalism</a> <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2025/03/21/meta-settles-u-k-right-to-object-to-ad-tracking-lawsuit-by-agreeing-not-to-track-plaintiff/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://techcrunch.com/2025/03/21/meta-settles-u-k-right-to-object-to-ad-tracking-lawsuit-by-agreeing-not-to-track-plaintiff/</a>It does not set legal precedent but it's a win nonetheless!Coupled with <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/MaxSchrems" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MaxSchrems</a> case that beat Meta last year, <a href="https://noyb.eu/en/cjeu-meta-must-minimise-use-personal-data-ads-0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://noyb.eu/en/cjeu-meta-must-minimise-use-personal-data-ads-0</a> Things are starting to move in the right direction.It's mind boggling that Schrems' case took 10 YEARS to conclude 🤯 The power imbalance is ridiculous with <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/bigtech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bigtech</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/dataprivacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dataprivacy</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/datarape" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#datarape</a>

Patrick Leavy<a href="https://eupolicy.social/@alderik" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@alderik</a> ooooh good find! I didn't realise they'd done an updated version of this study (they did one back in 2021).This is great - everyone needs to know the creepy, non-consentual extent of <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/surveillancecapitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#surveillancecapitalism</a> and the fact that the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/metadata" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#metadata</a> taken is plenty enough to build an accurate profile on you. They don't need your actual content, just the metadata. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/datarape" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#datarape</a>

Patrick Leavy<a href="https://social.ainmosni.eu/@ainmosni" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@ainmosni</a> yes, of course. It's run by a <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/techbro" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#techbro</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/billionaire" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#billionaire</a> - so the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/enshittification" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#enshittification</a> will be fast, and the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/datarape" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#datarape</a> merciless. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/fuckbluesky" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fuckbluesky</a>

Patrick LeavyI sometimes think that no one cares about online privacy, which makes me really sad, then I read this from <a href="https://mamot.fr/@pluralistic" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@pluralistic</a> - good to know! <a href="https://pluralistic.net/2024/08/07/revealed-preferences/#extinguish-v-improve" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://pluralistic.net/2024/08/07/revealed-preferences/#extinguish-v-improve</a> So maybe people DO care, but just feel like they can't do much about it?<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/surveillancecapitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#surveillancecapitalism</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/dataprivacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dataprivacy</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/datarape" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#datarape</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/tracking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tracking</a>

Patrick Leavy<a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/@shanecelis" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@shanecelis</a> lol Google INVENTED spying throughout the OS - android and chrome books exist solely for that purpose. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/surveillancecapitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#surveillancecapitalism</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/datarape" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#datarape</a> But yeah, there all at it. Big tech gotta go.

Patrick Leavy<a href="https://chaos.social/@quincy" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@quincy</a> it's those other (ethical!) business models that I'm interested in. What are they, other than straight up charging for the service?I'm a fan of paying for services in exchange for preventing <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/datarape" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#datarape</a> but so many people out there are adamant that Internet services should be free 🤷🏽‍♂️

Patrick Leavy<a href="https://grapheneos.social/@GrapheneOS" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@GrapheneOS</a> I like the idea of using Graphene but certain apps are too good to not have, even if they are horrifically <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/datarape" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#datarape</a> -y.One of those is Google Maps. Imo the one thing they do better than everyone else and that hasn't fallen prey to <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/enshittification" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#enshittification</a>Can this app be used on Graphene, whilst excluding all other Google presence?

Patrick LeavyCan we rename the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/metaverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#metaverse</a> to something else? The association with <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Meta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Meta</a> is 🤮<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/fuckzuck" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fuckzuck</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/FuckMeta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FuckMeta</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/surveillancecapitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#surveillancecapitalism</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/datarape" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#datarape</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/dataprivacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dataprivacy</a>

Patrick Leavy<a href="https://grapheneos.social/@GrapheneOS" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@GrapheneOS</a> pardon my technical ignorance, but is there not a way to create an outbound data filter for phones, so that the user can see (and control) what gets out? That way we could interrupt Google's <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/datarape" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#datarape</a> (and that of third party tracker companies like Branch Metrics).
