Citizens would rise up in outrage if the government mandated that every person carry a tracking device revealing their location and identity 24 hours a day. Yet in the last decade we have become, app by app, subject to just such a system.

Facebook admitted this week that they track your location even when you’ve turned off location tracking — and then sell that data to advertisers. Your data is your property. Tech companies should absolutely not be allowed to use it without your permission.

Denied the proceeds of the sale of his memoir, @snowden suggests donations go to the families that sheltered him.
@v3ritas1337 I'd recommend donating to the families that helped me in Hong Kong. They need it more than I do. You can find a link here:

#Zensurheberrecht: Die Bundesregierung verklagt uns ERNEUT wegen Veröffentlichung des #Glyphosat-Gutachtens! Jetzt sollen wir sogar über 1200 Euro zahlen. Dieser Wahnsinn muss aufhören! Wir wenden uns mit einem offenen Brief ans @BMJV_Bund:

Die Bundesregierung gibt nicht auf: Sie hat uns erneut wegen angeblicher Urheberrechtsverletzung verklagt, weil wir ein Gutachten zu Risiken von Glyphosat veröffentlicht haben. Diesmal sollen wir...

Frankreich präsentiert #Uploadfilter-Gesetz, “vergisst” Nutzerrechte. Von wegen die Memes wären sicher, das Motto lautet erst blocken, dann Fragen stellen. Mein Blogpost zu Frankreichs Umsetzung von #Artikel17 jetzt auf deutsch: https://t.co/ZSxjMqaqh9

Frankreich hat seine Umsetzung von #Artikel17 präsentiert. Nutzerrechte wurden "vergessen", Parodien & Zitate werden gesperrt, User können sich danach beschweren. Soviel zu Versprechen der Bundesregierung für koordinierte Umsetzung ohne #Uploadfilter.
Remember when you were told that your memes will be safe? France just published its proposal to include #uploadfilters in its #copyright law and "forgot" all safeguards meant to protect users. Here's what this means for the rest of the EU: https://t.co/c4COOlU3Pt

@Snowden @amnesty @Google @facebook @PrivacyProject @carolecadwalla @nxthompson @WiredUK @RVAwonk @chrisinsilico @peterjukes @DamianCollins @profcarroll @FryRsquared "People are forced into making a Faustian pact. Opt in to pervasive tracking & profiling, where your data can be weaponized & used to influence you. Or opt out & forego the benefits of the modern world. This is NOT a legitimate choice. It's an assault on privacy." @TanyaOCarroll

Who really benefits from #Article17? Primarily the producers of #uploadfilter software. AudibleMagic has a dedicated section on its website now, trying to get unsettled website operators to buy their services. AudibleMagic was a major lobbyist for the #copyright directive.

Edward Snowden: „Wenn das Aufdecken von Verbrechen wie ein Verbrechen behandelt wird, dann werden wir von Verbrechern regiert“.

Governments claim they hack people to prevent "crime and terrorism," but @NYTimes finds even democracies are now routinely hacking "human rights activists, journalists, religious leaders and dissidents." An important story, and perhaps a final warning:

Recent revelations in India show that the threat from the company’s spyware to activists and journalists isn’t limited to autocratic regimes.

Whistleblower Edward @Snowden says Facebook is just as untrustworthy as the NSA. He told Recode's @karaswisher he thinks it’s a “mistake” to see the NSA as a bigger threat to privacy than tech companies. 🎧 Listen to the latest Recode Decode podcast: https://t.co/JugM494Qkq

The entertainment industry is breaking internet radio by (successfully, apparently) suing app providers for linking (!) to freely available radio streams that happen to be in the wrong country. https://t.co/PaJedc5QzI

Hallo liebes @YouTube da draußen! Wir wissen zwar nicht, was du unter "Hassrede" verstehst, aber das Prinzip unserer Demokratie und Gesetzgebung (du weißt schon, das Grundgesetz, mit der Würde und so) würden wir eher nicht darunter verbuchen. Lässt sich da was machen? 😘

You might not know it, but Amazon runs basically half the internet on their cloud platform. Now they're cutting off the lifeline of Iran's liberal opposition in a misguided attempt to please—far beyond what the law requires—one of Amazon's biggest customers: the US Government.
Hey @awscloud if you ban all the Iranian devs from using AWS, and then other cloud companies follow suit, then where the heck are they supposed to run their proxies and VPN servers to bypass censorship and access the free and open web? #Keepiton
