@chrissywelsh gives us the perfect #business example 👇🏼

"Just because there is now a multi-billion-dollar industry based on the abject betrayal of our privacy doesn’t mean the sociopaths who built it have any right whatsoever to continue getting away with it"
Great post!

By demanding encryption backdoors, Politicians are not asking us to choose between security and privacy. They are asking us to choose no security. Here's why: https://tutanota.com/blog/posts/why-a-backdoor-is-a-security-risk
We must fight encryption backdoors around the world. 💪 #privacy #HumanRight
“The evidence of our psychic numbing is that only a few decades ago US society denounced mass behavior-modification techniques as unacceptable threats to individual autonomy and the democratic order. Today the same practices meet little resistance or even discussion as they are routinely and pervasively deployed in the march toward surveillance revenues.” - Shoshana Zuboff

Een goede inzet van technologie stopt niet bij goede code! @rejozenger van @bitsoffreedom geeft 5 punten aan waarop het wetsvoorstel voor de #CoronaMelder aangescherpt kan worden:
🥅 Het doel van de app scherper geformuleerd
👮🏼♀️ Geen gegevens naar de politie of geheime diensten
👩🏽⚕️ Alleen voor bron- en contactonderzoek van de GGD
⚖️ Geen bevoordelen of benadelen van app gebruikers

Today’s This Is HCD podcast interview with Gerry Scullion is probably one of my best ever.
We discuss the role of design in surveillance capitalism (and beyond), colonial vs non-colonial design, alternatives to Silicon Valley malware and more.
Give it a listen if you can.

It can even get innocents in jail as we report here: https://tutanota.com/blog/posts/google-tracking-suspect/

Portrait or landscape: which orientation is better for our #app? Well, consider the human & tech contexts of the person using it:
🖐🏼 Who‘s using it?
🛒 Where are they?
📱 What are they interacting with?

While it can seem mysterious, #empathy is like a muscle: we can train & develop it! 💪🏼
In my interactive talk at @UXinsight_org Festival, we'll demystify Creative Empathy & cover practical techniques you can deploy for #UXresearch.

“After a drawn out legal battle, a London court deemed it unlawful for police to use automatic facial recognition to surveil crowds.” 🙅🏽♀️
Another win for #privacy, against #SurveillanceCapitalism. Thank you @DrEdBridges & @libertyhq! 🙏🏼
