“Privacy being the most important.

Everything today rooted in games of privacy vs games of power by data.

To me privacy is the peak of our empowerment - billionaires spend millions to isolate themselves in private bunkers.

We have to get bit more creative.

The ultimate power is privacy when we really think about it - with privacy, we can literally accomplish anything in the world.

And awareness key 1st step to any positive change. 😁”

Unbelievable. I just had to pay a contractor via Venmo. And noticed that Venmo has a “feed” that was showing me everything that said contractor had used Venmo to pay or receive from others. How could anyone think that sharing financial transaction details with random others on a “public” feed is remotely a good idea? 🤦‍♂️ #Venmo #Banking #Privacy

Imagine if it were a jailable offense to smoke as a minor, instead of being illegal to sell a minor a pack of cigarettes! @pinhman@humanwords.party #CDNPoli #privacy #regulation #BCPoli

RE: https://dair-community.social/@emilymbender/116450850556202127 "Taken together we believe it is NOT in patients’ best interest to consent when asked this question" You may want to read this post 👇🏻 by @emilymbender@dair-community.social before you may go to your doctor next time for an appointment, should they ask you for your consent if they can record it to become more efficient in their potential diagnosis.

Have you been asked by a medical provider recently for consent to have an “AI” scribe record your visit? Us, too. And we have thoughts

Digital checkpoints will crop up all over the Internet after UK MPs backed new powers to expand age verification. The only way to block under-16s is to run checks on everybody. That's millions more people having to hand over personal data to unregulated providers just to access everyday services. Watch now ⬇️ #ageverification #digitalid #socialmedia #socialmediaban #freedomofexpression #childrensbill #privacy #ukpoltics
