Palantir – ein US-Konzern, der sein Geld mit Überwachungs-, Militär- und Datenanalysesoftware verdient – drängt immer stärker in deutsche Behörden und kritische Strukturen. Das ist kein neutrales Technologieangebot, sondern eine Abhängigkeit mit System. Wer einmal drin ist, kommt so schnell nicht mehr raus – und genau das ist Teil des Geschäftsmodells. Mein Appell: Seid kritisch. Sprecht darüber. Konfrontiert andere damit. Und wo immer Palantir auftaucht: engagiert euch dagegen. Die Abhängigkeit muss nicht nur gestoppt, sie muss auf null zurückgefahren werden. #Palantir #Surveillance #DigitaleSelbstbestimmung #Datenschutz

Palantir tracks everyone. So I built a site that tracks Palantir. They've been watching us. Now we can watch them. Contracts. Lawsuits. Executive pay. Global footprint. Lobbying activity. Media strategies. All in one place. ›› https://palantirwatch.org #privacy #technology #surveillance #bigtech

"greece to ban anonymity on social media". more like "greece to idiotically join france in having daily data breaches because their government is not able to connect the dots and doesn't understand current events" https://www.reddit.com/r/privacy/s/HpnI2f91nh #surveillance #socialmedia #EU

Es gibt viele Beispiele die aufzeigen, wie die vielbeschworene Digitalisierung und "Smartifizierung der Welt" vor allem eine Transformation in eine noch autoritärere und repressivere Zukunft bedeuten kann. Die biometrische Überwachung/Verfolgung von Frauen in Iran und von Kriegsdienstverweigernden in Russland sowie die Zero-Covid-Politik des chinesischen Staates sind offensichtliche Beispiele dafür. Und auch im Überwachungskapitalismus des "demokratischen Westens" werden solche Entwicklungen schon seit einer ganzen Weile auf hohen Ebenen herbeigesehnt, wie z.B. das Dokument "Smart City Charta" von Bundesinstituten und dem Bundesumweltministerium aus dem Jahr 2017 zeigt. Eine schön deutliche Einordnung dieses Dokuments (im Rahmen einer vergangenen Veranstaltung) findet sich hier: https://frevel.noblogs.org/post/2022/01/25/februar-2022/ #Überwachung , #Surveillance , #ZeroCovid , #biometrie , #Iran , #Russland

How goverments are using facial recognition to crack down on protesters Mass protests used to offer a degree of safety in numbers. #FacialRecognition #technology changes the equation. "But while authorities generally pitch facial recognition as a tool to capture terrorists or wanted murderers, the technology has also emerged as a critical instrument in a very particular context: punishing protesters. (...) In countries where demonstrating can come with physical or political risk, large-scale protests have historically offered a degree of anonymity, and, with it, a level of protection. Mass protests are a way for citizens to express dissent as a collective — often under the assumption that “they can’t arrest us all.” But in the last decade, the spread of facial recognition technology has changed that equation: A lone face in a crowd is no longer anonymous; facial recognition allows #authorities to capture people’s identities en masse." https://restofworld.org/2024/facial-recognition-government-protest-surveillance/ #surveillance #Protest #Repression

“To be GOVERNED is to be watched, inspected, spied upon, . . .” ‚Thus begins Pierre-Joseph Proudhon’s famous quote defining the function of the political state. The surveillance states already in formation in Britain and the U.S. are nothing new. Only its technology and its capacity for totality. But this is a key consideration. No more escaping across the county line or hiding out in the hills. Everywhere and anywhere today is a social panopticon.  In earlier times of political opposition to the rulers, the names of rebels would be written in ink in a large ledger and later, on 3X5 cards, following reports from observers, undercover agents, and provocateurs. This was often sufficient to keep track of those who threatened the rule of capital and the state. Enough to often fill prisons and dungeons with those who refused their duty as loyal servants of the system.‘ https://freedomnews.org.uk/2026/04/26/files-on-the-fifth-estate/ https://www.fifthestate.org/ #FifthEstate #Surveillance #FBI #Technology #Repression #State #UK #USA #Europe #Antireport

By 2026, over 130 countries representing 98 percent of global GDP are developing or implementing Central Bank Digital Currencies. This is not just digital cash. It is a fundamental restructuring of the relationship between state and citizen. Unlike physical cash, which remains anonymous and decentralized, CBDCs are the opposite. Fully transparent. Fully controlled. Fully dependent on whether your actions are approved by authorities. The most dangerous feature is programmable money. Specific mechanisms already being tested or discussed include expiration dates for currency, spending restrictions on specific categories of goods, geographic limitations on where funds can be used, and instantaneous disconnection from the financial system without court proceedings or appeal. China's digital yuan serves as the pilot project for global control. Operating across 25 cities. Seven trillion yuan in transactions. Tied to identity through passport, phone number, and facial recognition. Already used to block accounts of protesters. Already linked to social credit scores. The European Central Bank is piloting the digital euro with a 3,000 euro holding limit. Offline functionality means delayed synchronization, not true anonymity. Denmark has already removed mandatory cash acceptance. Sweden is moving in the same direction. Canada's 2022 Freedom Convoy showed what is possible: bank accounts frozen by government order. With CBDCs, that operation takes milliseconds and requires no judicial approval. Cash is being systematically phased out. CBDCs are being systematically phased in. The window for maintaining financial privacy is closing. #CBDC #Privacy #DigitalTyranny #Surveillance #Cash #DigitalEuro #DigitalYuan #FinancialFreedom https://newsgroup.site/cbdc-digital-tyranny-central-bank-control/

@kagihq@mastodon.social I haven't cancelled, but I've got to admit that I came close when I realized that you were sending every search ending in a question mark straight to Google. Now I just avoid using your AI features as the main reason I started subscribing was to get decent search without being surveilled by the likes of Google. I'll admit though, that the first competitor to come along providing even a vaguely similar service without Google / Yandex involved will immediately take my current Kagi subscription. So much of what you do is so promising, and then you undermine it by sharing data with the exact companies we're trying to get away from. Yes it may be more anonymous, but I'm still training Google against my wishes. #Kagi #Google #Alphabet #AI #GenAI #Privacy #Surveillance
