15 million users in the Fediverse, now.
No ad-blocker needed.
Zero ads.
My data stays on my server.
Interactions are genuine, driven by people's desire, not an algorithm pushing for conflict to boost engagement (and ad sales).
Nobody's here just because it's trendy. If you're here, you want to be here.
The best social media experience I've had in years.
Thank you to all of you, among these 15 million accounts, who have helped make this a wonderful place to be.

So that was 2024 and this is ORG’s annual review ✨
It was a year when it became increasingly clear why we need digital rights and ORG was there to bang the drum.
From Data Bills to Prevent. From e-Visas to data profiling for ads and AI. From predictive policing to an election…
Here’s the round-up ⬇️

Pleased to announce the launch of Surveillance Watch, an interactive map and resource that documents the hidden connections within the opaque surveillance industry: https://www.surveillancewatch.io/
By mapping out the intricate web of surveillance companies, their subsidiaries, partners, and financial backers, we hope to expose the enablers fueling this industry's extensive rights violations, ensuring they cannot evade accountability for being complicit in this abuse.

Safety reminders for these times:
- Direct messages on Fedi are not encrypted.
- If your instance is hosted in the US, the admin has to comply with US law.
- Discord text chat is not encrypted. Video is.
- Encrypted group chats are only as secure as the people with access and their security practices.
If you're interested in protecting the contents of your conversations or work, follow the #privacy tag. People posts some really interesting things on there.
Your privacy protects your friends too. Do it for all of us.

J'avais vu passer une critique de BlueSky sur l'aspect données personnelles collectées (notamment par l'appli), ça vous dit un truc ?
NEW REPORT: UK Political Parties' canvassing apps threaten voter privacy with security vulnerabilities and commercially owned infrastructure.
Data is driving elections, deciding how to focus efforts and target messaging. We lose in a data arms race.

🚨 BREAKING 🚨
The UK is rogue in trying to order a backdoor to Apple encryption.
US lawmakers slam the UK's secretive order, calling it what it is:
🔥 'Dangerous' for global cybersecurity
🔥 'Effectively a foreign cyberattack'
The Home Office must back off ✋

Among the data used by Cambridge Analytica to profile gun owners in the database: income, debt, religious affiliation, whether they liked the paintings of Thomas Kinkade and whether the underwear women had purchased was plus size or petite.

We're Privacy Guides, a non-profit project & community focused on personal data security and privacy. 👋
Much like the right to interracial marriage, woman's suffrage, freedom of speech, and many others, our right to privacy hasn't always been upheld. In several dictatorships, it still isn't. Generations before ours fought for our right to privacy. Privacy is a human right, inherent to all of us, that we are entitled to (without discrimination).
You shouldn't confuse privacy with secrecy. We know what happens in the bathroom, but you still close the door. That's because you want privacy, not secrecy. Everyone has something to protect. Privacy is something that makes us human.
We're on a mission to inform the public about the value of digital privacy, and about global government initiatives which aim to monitor your online activity.
Remarkable investigation into Telegram by IStories (in Russian):
https://www.istories.media/stories/2025/06/10/kak-telegram-svyazan-s-fsb/
English version by OCCRP:
http://www.occrp.org/en/investigation/telegram-the-fsb-and-the-man-in-the-middle
tl;dr:
👉 Telegram uses a single company with ties to the Russian FSB as their sole infrastructure provider, globally.
👉 Combined with a cleartext device identifier Telegram's protocol requires to be prepended to all encrypted messages, this allows for global surveillance of Telegram users.
I am quoted in this story.
Stop using Big Tech to organize your protests! They're part of the authoritarian surveillance and oppression as well.

❌ You can't trade privacy to prevent crime.
⚠️ Message scanning tech punches a hole in everyone's security. Surveillance organisations, hackers, scammers and predators alike will be able to creep into your life.

Some of the data used by Cambridge Analytica highlighted gun owners’ most personal information, like:
• If they owned cats
• Whether they were dieting
• If they were recently divorced
• Their political opinions
There is an optional feature on Mastodon which lets you automatically delete your posts after a certain amount of time:
➡️ https://fedi.tips/deleting-posts-automatically-in-mastodon-after-a-certain-time-period
If you activate this, your posts that are older than a certain number of weeks, months or years are automatically deleted by your server.
The setup process for autodelete also lets you choose types of post or specific posts not to delete.
(If you want to keep everything, just don't activate autodelete 🙂 )

While #mozilla may have backed off from their over-broad rights grant for information posted via #firefox the underlying rationale for why the change is happening now continues to be unclear.
Many seem to think that this has to do with #california #ccpa - as I was exploring that, I took a deeper dive into Mozilla's new #privacy policy.
My takeaway?
It appears that Mozilla may have been sharing more data with Mozilla's ad partners than you expected: https://www.quippd.com/social/posts/2025/03/02/who-else-is-surprised-that-mozilla-uses-technical-and-interaction-data-for-advertising-purposes-on-the-new-tab-page.html
