#BigBrother watches over his #Flock.
John Oliver just released an incredibly well researched episode about police surveillance technology. He goes thoroughly through all the details, while keeping things at a level that's accessible for regular people to understand.
I highly recommend you share this with people who might not otherwise be fully aware of the current state of state surveillance.

Police Surveillance Technology: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO)
"For journalism, activism, or domestic abuse situations, skip Windows and use Linux routed through Tor instead of a commercial VPN. A GDID doesn’t care which VPN you use, only that it’s still the same Windows installation. Microsoft only told the public about GDID once a court forced the issue."

Lucky this driver was not a person of color, because this would more likely than not ended in jail, with physical abuse, or a tragedy involving firearms.
How Flock Cameras Wrongly Tracked Me for Days Over ‘Stolen’ Plates and Sent Police After Me
A simple error got magnified by Flock's nationwide surveillance camera network and ended with four cop cars boxing me in.

The Guardian: ‘It’s dangerous and it’s going to erode trust’: redesign of US government websites stokes surveillance fears
The National Design Studio, staffed by Doge veterans, installed visitor-tracking software on vital federal websites
"...An opaque White House office staffed largely by veterans of Elon Musk’s “department of government efficiency” (Doge) has quietly rebuilt some of the federal government’s most sensitive websites – for passport applications, voter registration, prescription-drug pricing and children’s savings – in ways critics say appear to violate federal law...."

""Every failed attempt to make children safer online is followed by more surveillance and censorship," he said. "Children have rights too and these policies will harm their free expression and privacy rights, and push them into less regulated spaces. Meanwhile the business models driving harms are untouched."
Others questioned whether the measures can realistically be enforced. Mark Jones, an online harms specialist and partner at law firm Payne Hicks Beach, noted that the consultation closed only weeks ago and warned that determined teenagers have a habit of finding ways around restrictions.
"A social media ban only helps if it is genuinely enforceable," Jones said. "If large numbers of young people simply circumvent the restrictions, parents will just lose visibility into where their children are actually spending time online rather than reclaiming any control."
The political case for the crackdown appears relatively straightforward, but the practical one is less so. The government now has to persuade social media companies to enforce the rules and teenagers not to find ways around them."

Reise in die USA? NoWay!
Wir wussten, dass dies kommen würde, aber jetzt läuft die Uhr. Von Privacy International:
„Gestern hat die Trump-Regierung eine vorgeschlagene Änderung der Politik für Reisende in die USA angekündigt. Sie betrifft die Befugnisse der Zoll- und Grenzschutzbehörde (CBP) zur Datenerhebung.“
„Wenn die vorgeschlagenen Änderungen nach der 60-tägigen Konsultationsphase angenommen werden, werden Millionen von Reisenden in die USA gezwungen sein, eine mobile App der US-Regierung zu nutzen und ihre Social-Media-Aktivitäten der letzten fünf Jahre sowie ihre E-Mail-Adressen der letzten zehn Jahre, einschließlich derjenigen von Familienmitgliedern, offenzulegen. Außerdem wird die Erfassung von DNA vorgeschlagen.“
Privacy International verlinkte auf einen Eintrag im Federal Register, in dem die vorgeschlagenen Anforderungen beschrieben werden, und fasste diesen zusammen:
• Alle Besucher müssen „ihre Social-Media-Aktivitäten der letzten 5 Jahre“ einreichen.
• ESTA-Anträge (Electronic System for Travel Authorization) werden „hochwertige Datenfelder“ enthalten, „sofern dies möglich ist“.
• „Telefonnummern, die in den letzten fünf Jahren verwendet wurden“
• „E-Mail-Adressen, die in den letzten zehn Jahren verwendet wurden“
• „In den letzten fünf Jahren verwendete Telefonnummern von Familienangehörigen (sic)“.
• Biometrische Daten – Gesicht, Fingerabdruck, DNA und Iris.
• In den letzten fünf Jahren verwendete geschäftliche Telefonnummern.
• In den letzten zehn Jahren verwendete geschäftliche E-Mail-Adressen.
Der Eintrag im Bundesregister besagt, dass Kommentare erwünscht sind und (spätestens bis zum 9. Februar 2026) eingereicht werden müssen, um berücksichtigt zu werden.
