Interoperability can help break down tech monopolies, but more data sharing could put users at risk. In a new whitepaper, EFF goes deep into this apparent tension, and explains why interoperability doesn't have to come at the expense of privacy: https://www.eff.org/wp/interoperability-and-privacy

This isn't good. We need more players in the #opensource world, particularly with #browsers as it tends to be the #software we use most.

Everything you do online might be used to profile you. But who are the profilers? What do they do with your data? 🤔

Happy data #privacy day!
@privacy Can you hear me?
That anyone continues to use #Facebook, #Instagram, #Snapchat, or #TikTok baffles me. How many stories about hacked data do you need before you figure out what a bad idea that is? Family members are STILL bowled over whenever they are talking with someone and an ad for that topic of conversation suddenly comes up.
Boom goes the dynamite!

The Fediverse won’t be the same without @pla ‘s unique combination of positivity, cycling content, and tech savvy. He was one of the nicest people I’ve ever met here and would always have something nice to say.
For those in the thread who haven’t seen yet, @hollma thinks this might be the news report, with this as the intersection where it happened (post).

Haven't been active in a while. Good to be here. Life gets in the way, but I hope to be more involved.
