So the threats with this unauthenticated Bluesky feed might seem more real these days. It's trivial to find everyone who posted about a certain topic at scale so you can enforce your most fascist definition of "hate speech". #privacysky

🔐 App permissions are key to protecting your privacy. 

Before installing them:

✅ Check what they’re asking for

❌ Deny anything unnecessary

📱 Every permission matters

Our own Julie Rubash has been featured in this article from AdExchanger's Allison Schiff, discussing the significance of understanding UOOMs for publishers.

We'd like to hear your thoughts: How are you approaching universal opt-outs?

Universal opt-out mechanisms – like a legally mandated version of Do Not Track – are about to start getting more attention from regulators.

Important news from the US regarding surveillance. Judgements like this can also affect the future of the EU-US TADPF #privacysky
BIG surveillance news: Late yesterday, in a long-awaited ruling, a district court in Brooklyn held that the FBI’s Section 702 queries violated the 4th Amendment.

This is a major constitutional ruling on one of the most abused provisions of FISA.

Recommending that apps follow opt out is meaningless. Also violates multiple privacy regulations. Enforcement + authentication for apps is required. #privacysky

Good point about Bluesky as an alternative, but its not safe until they fix their protocol which enables mass surveillance by GOP, foreign powers, etc.

BlueSky is great, but @bsky.app , how is this Firehose API any different than the one behind Cambridge Analytica en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cambrid... ?

I've read the privacy policy, not sure it can exempt bsky from GDPR or that CA situation.

Making it require auth + TOS would be a start.
You realize that the tool is direct violation of GDPR in UK and Bsky TOS right without the option to opt out?

lol let’s not forget the key thing is : Users aren’t being given the right to say “no” and opt out and that’s what people are upset about.

This piece of news makes it even more likely that the current EU-US Data Privacy Framework will get annulled rather sooner than later #privacysky #dataprotection
Gabbard appears to be saying she won't seek further reforms to 702. GOP senators are largely on board with that but is President-elect Trump? He lobbied Congress to "KILL FISA" last April.

Of note: warrantless searches of U.S. person data are still allowed under 702.
