The model and the application of the model on us, by the Carney "Liberals" "Named after United Russia lawmaker Irina Yarovaya, the Yarovaya laws demanded telecom firms keep copies of all communications sent via their networks — including text messages, calls, data, and images — for six months. Metadata, such as the time and location a message was sent, had to be held for three years." https://kyivindependent.com/few-thought-russia-could-build-this-surveillance-state-heres-how-it-did-it/?utm_source=flipboard&utm_medium=activitypub https://www.priv.gc.ca/en/opc-news/speeches-and-statements/2021/sp-d_20210616/ #CdnPoli #SurveillanceCapitalism #Carney

Few thought Russia could build a surveillance state. Here’s how it did it

In the summer of 2016, Russia's security services gained unprecedented access to citizens' private calls, messages, and photos. The so-called Yarovaya laws demanded that telecoms companies store user data and hand it over to Russia's security services on request — even without a court order. For activists, the danger of such laws was obvious. The illegal annexation of Ukrainian Crimea had taken place two years prior; politician Boris Nemtsov had been gunned down in view of the Kremlin in 2015,

Verona Wisconsinites voted to end the gaze, but #Flock refused to blink. The black trash bag is not concealment—it is a signal. It tells the apparatus we see it seeing us. Our city councils must mandate this shroud as policy: blind the cameras visibly until physical removal is complete. Don't negotiate with machines. Reclaim our sovereignty. #DeFlockAmerica #BlindTheEye #StopTheGaze #Privacy #ALPR #SurveillanceCapitalism If you see this u r the #SurveillanceResistancehttps://www.404media.co/flock-objects-to-our-removing-their-equipment-emails-reveal-why-a-town-put-bags-over-its-flock-cameras/

Flock ‘Objects to Our Removing Their Equipment’: Emails Reveal Why a Town Put Bags Over Its Flock Cameras

"For the time being, if you or someone on your crew has availability to secure black plastic bags (or something else) over the cameras, that would be great."

"Meta’s AI glasses have all sorts of alleged use cases. The real use case is the market of creeps and weirdos who film people out and about without their consent." "And Meta is now in an arms race with its actual paying customers." https://pivot-to-ai.com/2026/07/09/metas-new-ai-creep-glasses-will-record-24-7-without-a-light/ It's worth following @davidgerard@circumstances.run and listening to his podcast.

Been taking in the voting on ChatControl, it has been interesting to see how people voted on Tuesday and today. In any case well done to everyone who got involved and helped out! A lot of countries seem to have flipped, see the map left Tuesday and right Thursday. Well, the Tuesday question was: Do you want to vote on Thursday? Which is whatever. But the question today was: Will you allow American Big Tech to scan people's (unencrypted) communication until 2028? So consider the Thursday vote to see who you can politely write to with your thoughts and feelings on ChatControl. Currently the vote is awaiting the acceptance of the Parliament, only if it is accepted the proposal will be adopted. Surprisingly and happily the Swedish S(AP) and Moderaterna voted No, but Vänsterpartiet is disappointing and Miljöpartiet all abstained. I wonder what's behind that. It seems from the outside quite cowardly for Swedish political parties I know are heavily involved in LGBTQI+ and human rights. In Sweden these left wing parties sometimes show some really weird authorative vibes. I haven't figured out yet what the cultural reasons behind that are. https://mepwatch.eu/10/vote.html?v=195775 #ChatControl #Europarliament #Voting #SurveillanceCapitalism #Miljöpartiet #Moderaterna #Vänsterpartiet #SvenskaSocialdemokratiskaArbetarepartis

Replying to
@EC_DIGIT_director_general@ec.social-network.europa.eu @EC_DIGIT@ec.social-network.europa.eu I wish you all the best with your event. But why would you post this specifically after 14:00 today? Feels too much like a plaster to hide the bleeding. #EUparliament #EU #ChatControl #SurveillanceCapitalism

A bit after 12:00 today (between 12:00 and 14:00) the EU Parliament will vote on ChatControl 1.0 or as they will vote on it: Regulation (EU) 2021/1232. They name it as "Temporary derogation from certain provisions of the ePrivacy Directive to combat online child sexual abuse" but what we're worried about is that this temporary measure will become instated as a real measure. Why? Well, because the REAL discussion on ChatControl 2.0 is not as good for Big Tech as the initial 1.0 version. European legislators want to be very careful with European citizen's rights you see. So Big Tech lobbyists (also, or should I say mainly, from outside of Europe) have spent quite some influence and even money to get what Big Tech wants. And what Big Tech wants is honestly repression of EU human rights and breaking our citizens' privacy. That's not ok, and a lot of people have mailed our MEPs to warn them and ask them to vote against the extension. So we'll see how far surveillance capitalism gets in the EU Parliament today. https://oeil.europarl.europa.eu/oeil/en/procedure-file?reference=2025/0429(COD)#section2 #EUparl #EU #ChatControl #SurveillanceCapitalism
