EU wants to take action against dark patterns and surveillance advertising

The EU Commission has reviewed consumer protection laws and identified loopholes in manipulative designs, targeting and influencer advertising.

This News didn't surprise me, but its further unbelievable.

Every 15 minutes, Google Pixel 9 Pro XL sends a data packet to Google. The device shares location, email address, phone number, network status, and other telemetry. Even more concerning, the phone periodically attempts to download and run new code, potentially opening up security risks, said Aras Nazarovas, a security researcher at Cybernews.

"We Reported on Nikes Extensive Use of Private Jets. The Company Just Made It Harder to Track Them."

"Since our story, the company has added its planes to a popular Federal Aviation Administration program that makes it harder to see where theyre going."

What the hell

Mozilla was all about privacy 10 years ago a few years ago it questioned Microsoft's service agreements with regards to AI now we've got tracker-infused K9-mail in the form of Thunderbird for Android, Mozilla AI and adtech being baked in.

The hypocritical "If you can't beat em, join em" attitude is destroying this once great industry.

I guess now we should look towards for our future.

Es ist schon bemerkenswert, dass K-9 Mail zum beliebtesten Open-Source-E-Mail-Client auf Android geworden ist - ganz ohne Telemetriedaten zu sammeln.

Offenbar funktioniert es also auch hervorragend ohne diese Datenerfassung.

How to Stop Advertisers From Your Teen Across the Internet

From some of my colleagues in the VISINT research group at LIST.


Thunderbird fr Android ist als Beta-Version (8.0b1) verfgbar. Ich habe mir die Beta-Version mal kurz angeschaut und wurde direkt enttuscht. Unmittelbar nach dem Start bermittelt Thunderbird fr Android Telemetriedaten an Mozilla incoming.telemetry.mozilla.org.

Just to be clear, clicking a link to "verify your identity" and then putting the received message number into an access field does nothing but confirm someone is using that phone. It's illusory, insulting, and a waste of valuable time.

PayPal is updating their ToS to let themselves give your data to merchants starting in November and they're certainly banking on people not knowing to opt out, SO to opt out before they start:

Two days ago Strava came out with their "Quick edit" feature that is actually nothing new. They claim that it will simplify renaming activities to get more likes but that's not what the "simple edit" is about. It's about renaming activities to train AI.

Some apps will call a run Morges Run, or Nyon Cycle or Gruyre walk but Strava, until now has called runs "morning, afternoon, evening or other. Finding old runs, with strava is very hard, if you want to find by location, distance or sport. This is despite them feeding their AI models since May.

They use language like "This TOS is for your privacy" and "for your good" and we have to blindly accept, without any choice in the matter. Due to this change I deleted the app from my phone and revoked all the sharing options that had been active between strava and other apps.

There was a time when I was a paying customer of Strava's. I paid until they got VC funding. I usually stop being a client of sites that get VC funding because that's when we go from being valued clients to cash cows. That's when we go from funding a site and service we use to being pawns for the VC funders.The latest change isn't about us. It's about making the model more interesting for data farming. They disguise it as caring for privacy when the opposite is true.

During the pandemic, when I was walking around local loops I lost all interest in Strava. Strava went from being a self-sustaining project to being a VC funded project. It went from being about 60 CHF per year to 80 CHF per year and useful features that were free were paywalled. In so doing they raised the barrier to entry, but they also lowered the usefulness of the site.

Garmin Connect is free, once you have a watch. Apple Fitness is "free" with the watch. Nike Run is free, Sportstracker is 30 CHF per year, Adidas run is I don't know how expensive. Suunto is free, with a Suunto device, but plays nicely with SportsTracker.

And Finally

I think it's a shame that Strava is in such a dominant position at the moment because Komoot, AllTrails and Garmin Connect, to name a few are interesting too. If privacy controls on other apps were better then I would share my workouts publicly but hide the start and end points when from home, an office or other. I think Strava has lost its way and we should diversify app use.

I've just updated my de-redirection tool: this fix stops slashdot from sending it to a 404 page, adds some new disinformation, and no longer opens links in a new tab.

"Today, noyb filed a complaint against Mozilla for quietly enabling a supposed privacy feature (called Privacy Preserving Attribution) in its Firefox browser. Contrary to its reassuring name, this technology allows Firefox to track user behaviour on websites. In essence, the browser is now controlling the tracking, rather than individual websites. While this might be an improvement compared to even more invasive cookie tracking, the company never asked its users if they wanted to enable it. Instead, Mozilla decided to turn it on by default once people installed a recent software update. This is particularly worrying because Mozilla generally has a reputation for being a privacy-friendly alternative when most other browsers are based on Googles Chromium."
