For starters, delete apps using tracking SDK. App permissions no longer cut it. Also, get @capecellular.bsky.social. They rotate your IMSI every 24 hrs or at request to look like a new subscriber to the network. This makes you more difficult to track your behavior/habits.

A government that relies on the surveillance of its own citizens has abandoned governance by representation as envisioned in the Constitution.
ICE surveillance sweeps up activists, organizers, journalists, family members, and entire communities. When the government buys access to location data and online histories, everyone’s rights are at risk. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...
ICE Is Going on a Surveillance Shopping Spree
We need to have a hard look at the surveillance industry. It is a key enabler of vast and untold violations of human rights and civil liberties, and it continues to be used by aspiring autocrats to

@jasonkoebler.bsky.social of @404media.co interviews @bennjordan.bsky.social about how he uncovered Flock’s Condor cameras streaming live to the internet; what he calls "Netflix for stalkers." Good discussion worth watching.

If you don’t want to be surveilled, you must stop using apps and services that have surveillance as part of its business model.

SCOOP: Internal ICE material and testimony from an official obtained by 404 Media provides the clearest link yet between the technological infrastructure Palantir is building for ICE and the agency’s activities on the ground.

Don't bother arguing about whether ICE is a police force or a military force. It's neither. It behaves as a disorganized, violent mob, cursing, shouting contradictory orders, and attacking unarmed citizens on a whim. It is deployed to create fear and chaos, not to enforce laws or establish order.

“There’s this veneer of respect for privacy that is painted over all of this data aggregation and consolidation,” EFF’s Beryl Lipton told @TexasObserver. www.texasobserver.org/texas-polic...
Texas Police Invested Millions in a Shadowy Phone-Tracking Software. They Won’t Say How They’ve Used It.
One sheriff who leads an anti-smuggling task force says the software helps “develop leads to eventually obtain probable cause.” Civil liberties experts say its use violates constitutional rights.

I see Flocks everywhere now. Today, I saw three of them on my way to a job interview. One was in the middle of a neighborhood. I would hate to live with one right outside my front door tracking all my movements—a total invasion of privacy!

From license-plate readers to drones and cell-site simulators, ICE relies on a growing web of surveillance.

Here’s how hackers are shining a light on it—and why that matters. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...
How Hackers Are Fighting Back Against ICE
A few enterprising hackers have started projects to do counter surveillance against ICE, and hopefully protect their communities through clever use of technology.

Rep. Annie Craig: "First of all, if you think you are at risk of imminent harm do carry around your cell phone and take video footage of the encounter? Look, Renee Good should not be dead today..."

Yes, common sense and truth we need! 💯 Thank you, Rep. Craig! 👏
Rep. Angie Craig: "We were told because this facility is being funding by the 'Big Beautiful Bill,' not the congressional appropriations act, that we would not be allowed to enter the facility. That's complete nonsense ... I informed them they were violating the law. They said they didn't care."

Toby Neugebauer is asking Texans to let him build infrastructure for mass data collection, military tech, and predictive policing systems with no real, long-term plan for nuke waste. This is abysmally reckless on all fronts.
This is billionaire Toby Neugebauer at a city council meeting pleading his case build one of the world’s biggest AI datacenters. Texans are fighting back.

This is an honest video analysis of this tragedy. By the way, in the video, you can see that two of the ICE agents are NOT wearing body-worn cameras as their own policy requires, incl. the fascist prick who murdered Renee Good in cold blood. ICE is totally unconcerned about human life. Psychopaths!
Forensic analysis of objective video evidence. This is how you serve readers searching for clarity.

As if healthcare couldn’t become more depersonalized. OpenAI wants clinical legitimacy without the regulatory accountability of medical advice. People already anthropomorphism AI. This just empowers them more and will be a grave disaster.
OpenAI “makes sure to mention in the blog post that ChatGPT Health is ‘not intended for diagnosis or treatment,’ but it can’t fully control how people end up using AI when they leave the chat.”
