Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.
In this community everyone is welcome to post links and discuss topics related to privacy.
much thanks to @gary_host_laptop for the logo design :)
Good. People don't understand implications until it happens to them. Suddenly they don't like this security features anymore because it became personal.
We need more people to experience that discomfort
Nice, face recognition surveillance for sure is because to protect our childrens.
Who the hell can afford children ?
Some people on islands can afford many
Welcome to The Truman Show.
Pretty cool... But anyone else get major AI vibes from the way this article is written?
Why even become a journalist anymore if you're just going to be putting prompts into a black box and copy/pasting the output?
This article gives me vibes that someone wrote a few lines outlining the situation and asked the AI to write the article itself. Interestingly though, I think most people would just rather read the outline, less time wasted and less llm.
A part that screams AI would be:
This wasn’t subtle venue security—your biometric data became part of the artistic statement, whether you consented or not.
"This isn't this--it's that" is an extremely common AI sentence structure, further exposed by the fact that the part before the em-dash doesn't even make sense to begin with. No one was asking themselves whether it was part of subtle venue security.
As a sidenote, sometimes I read sentences like this and I wonder "could this ever even have been written by a human?" I think that there's a very low chance that this article didn't have at least some amount of AI involved, but I know that somewhere out there there must be some people who actually write like this. And that's kind of sad.
tbh I don't even know why I even wrote this, the entire article appears to be one big example of generic AI writing
"The Consent Question Nobody Asked"
Yeah, that tastes like AI this turn of phrase
People getting mad at massive attack are missing the point completely
Massive Attack = Banksy. You heard it from me first. Or maybe you didn't and you knew it already all along.
this isn't new, this has been hypothesized for many years now
Shhht, the british government is looking for him
The only people offended by this are the ones who dont yet understand that this is happening constantly all over the place without your consent already.
Which would be most people?
Yes, the ignorants, which is exactly why we have artists, it's basically their most important jerb
Nah, not anymore. These tools are starting to be used by police without any remorse, so an ever increasing amount of people are aware. Its being used against immigrants, journalists, activists, etc. so the normie and privacy nerd worlds are starting to overlap.
But don't the people who get caught, disappear in the gullet of the prison slavery system and never heard from again ? And if allowed the walk the streets again, they know talking about it puts a target on their back and the police will come smash the cardboard box they're sleeping in at night. And that's until they start with the involuntary lethals injections for those who "refuse ressources" as Fox & Friends put it
So instead of like 1 or 2% it’s now like 5%. Still not a majority
Something happening all the time doesn't mean that it's good and you should just accept it.
No of course not. But in order to be able to not accept it, you have to know about it in the first place. Thats what this is perfect for. No harm done, lots of eyes opened.

I do trust Massiva Attack more than this violent gang of thugs
The public were just nice to them while they were being evaluated for termination.......
What is wrong with the populace of ipswitch ? Are they all cattle already ?
If this disturbs you, then good. That was the point.
These guys are amazing. Of all the shows I saw at Roseland NYC, theirs in 96 was the absolute best.
Did you see portishead? Just curious.
Cowboys by Portishead gives me goosebumps every time I hear it

You have come to the wrong neighbourhood
To be clear, the system picked out faces in the crowd, in the "yes, this is a face" sense. They were labeled in what appears to be random terms like positive, kind, nostalgic, bee keeper, gif animator, extreme ironer. No personal identification.
extreme ironer
I did come across that hobby when I was trying to list examples of productive sports. Yeah, it's a thing.
