📵 France to ban unsolicited telemarketing calls from August 11 ｢ In 2024, 11 consumer organizations issued a joint call for a ban, denouncing "relentless harassment of consumers through countless unwanted telemarketing calls to both landlines and mobile phones – an intrusion that has become a regular part of their daily lives." ｣ https://www.lemonde.fr/en/france/article/2026/08/06/france-to-ban-unsolicited-telemarketing-calls-from-august-11_6756208_7.html #france #privacy #surveillance

🔴 A defense contractor is now selling technology that scans every electronic device in your car as you drive past a camera. It ties everything to your license plate. You cannot opt out. It is called SignalTrace. Made by Leonardo, an Italian military contractor with existing U.S. Special Operations Command contracts. It sweeps your phone, smartwatch, Bluetooth headphones, your dog's RFID chip, tire pressure sensors, your car's infotainment system. Anything that broadcasts. It bundles these into what Leonardo calls your "electronic fingerprint," timestamped and geotagged. Stored in an "Enterprise Operations Center for future queries and analysis." Those are their words. Not mine. You did not consent. You cannot opt out. Your devices broadcast by existing. In most places, this is perfectly legal. If this sounds like something that will be abused: it already has been. Police have used existing license plate reader networks to stalk partners, verify school residency, run background checks, and monitor protests. At least 22 officers charged or resigned for ALPR stalking. SignalTrace does not read your messages. It does not need to. It knows who you travel with, where you go, and when.

Smart glasses are going mainstream and our privacy laws haven't caught up. The privacy act barely covers individuals wearing them, surveillance rules are a messy state by state patchwork, and Meta is reportedly building "super sensor" glasses that can record even when you're not actively using them. We're sleepwalking into this one. #privacy #surveillance #ai #smartglasses #auspol https://theconversation.com/smart-glasses-are-going-mainstream-do-current-privacy-laws-protect-us-from-the-risks-289138

Bullshit klaxon. "A police force using live facial recognition near a young people’s festival insists the controversial technology is “not mass surveillance or mass data capture”, but is being used to keep people safe." #surveillance https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/boardmasters-festival-facial-recognition-newquary-devon-b3027787.html

📢 Think about this for a second. You make monthly payments on a car. That same car is quietly recording your every move, exact location every 3 seconds, how hard you brake, how fast you accelerate, then selling it behind your back to LexisNexis and Verisk, who hand it to insurance companies. You're paying to own something that's being used to build a case against you, and you're not even in the room. Some drivers saw their premiums spike or got denied coverage outright, with zero explanation, because they had no idea their own car was reporting on them the whole time. GM did this to over 14 million vehicles. The FTC banned it for GM specifically, for 5 years. But there is still no federal law making this illegal everywhere, for everyone. Only 3 states have banned it outright. In the rest of the country, this is completely legal. You're financing your own surveillance, and unless you live in the right state, there's nothing stopping any other automaker from doing the exact same thing right now. 🔗 https://edge.intruvent.com/p/prevent-this-your-car-selling-your #GM #OnStar #PrivacyMatters #ConsumerRights #Surveillance

Demand #KmartAustralia take the Anko surveillance glasses off the shelf. Non-consensual surveillance should not be normalised. Kmart does not need a change in the law to act. Retailers withdraw products routinely. Sign the petition asking Kmart Group Managing Director Aleksandra Spaseska to withdraw the Anko camera glasses from Kmart stores and from the website. We know that fixing this problem requires more than a product recall – we need greater privacy laws to protect us. But our privacy laws are years behind this technology, and Kmart should not be selling covert surveillance tech while they catch up. https://petitions.getup.org.au/petitions/demand-kmart-take-the-anko-surveillance-glasses-off-the-shelf - asking Kmart to withdraw the product. #privacy #electronicfrontiersaustralia #auspol #surveillanceglasses #surveillance

‘DO NOT MENTION #ALPR USAGE’: How #Cops Are Trying to Hide Their Use of #Flock When cops use Flock to arrest someone in #WapelloCounty , #Iowa , they don’t want them to know. A usage policy for the automated license plate reader #cameras in the county tells police, in no uncertain terms, to keep them a secret: “DO NOT MENTION ALPR USAGE TO THE OCCUPANTS OF THE VEHICLE,” the policy document reads. “DO NOT MENTION ALPR USAGE IN YOUR REPORT OR COMPLAINT UNLESS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY.” The police guidance document is unusual in how clearly it tells police not to mention their Flock use, but it also highlights several important things in the Flock debate. While Flock likes to say that it is a #transparent #surveillance company and that it cares about “accountability” and “governance,” some of its customers believe its use should be kept secret. #privacy #tracking https://www.404media.co/do-not-mention-alpr-usage-how-cops-are-trying-to-hide-the-existence-of-flock/
