Just shows what Google can do with an endless amount of user generated data.

The creepier aspect of this is that a law-enforcement-grade recognition software is being compared to a free photos service being used by millions of Google customers in the first place 😧

Want a demo of how powerful surveillance systems used by police force are? Here’s practically Google Photos object/face detection applied to hours of video surveillance.

This can sort by things like Red Pickup Trucks, or women with backpacks.

Wow, who could possibly have seen this coming? From a browser designed around peddling cryptocurrency? I am incredibly shocked.

So when you are using the @brave@twitter.com browser and type in "binance[.]us" you end up getting redirected to "binance[.]us/en?ref=35089877" - I see what you did there mates 😂

Some tips from the EFF (ssd.eff.org/en/module/attendin).

Before the Protest
- Enable full-disk encryption on your device
- Remove fingerprint unlock and FaceID
- Install Signal
- Back up your data
- Buy a prepaid, disposable phone
- Consider biking or walking to the protest (to avoid Automated License Plate Reader Systems)

During the Protest
- Take photos and videos without unlocking your device
- Enable airplane mode

After the Protest
- Scrub metadata on photos

What the fuck

RT @QasimRashid@twitter.com

Here’s the video footage of the MN State Police’s bizarre arrest of the CNN crew.

The CNN crew clearly identified themselves, explained why they were there, & offered to move to wherever police instructed.

Still arrested w/o explanation.

It's unclear who's behind the surge in bot activity or whether they're originating from the US or abroad. Nearly half 'reopen America' Twitter accounts are bots: report - Business Insider businessinsider.com/nearly-hal

Are we enabling bad behaviour on the part of tech companies by simply disabling their #privacy intrusions at the browser level, instead of actually getting them to change their ways?

Watch out, Chrome Safe Browsing was quite privacy aware so far, it just checked URL hashes. Now it's full blown real-time monitoring of what you actually browse... and link it to your Google account.

Not that it did anything else if you had your browsing history synced to cloud 😂

Centralised apps have a crucial flaw. Zoom just purchased Keybase rendering it unsafe IMO.
