“…
• DeFlock can generate routes that avoid known [Automated License Plate Readers] ALPR cameras entirely.
• Users can choose how far they want to stay from surveillance cameras.
• The tool arrives as scrutiny of license plate readers continues to grow.
For years, automated license plate readers have quietly spread across America. They sit on utility poles, at intersections, near shopping centers, and along roads most drivers use every day. The overwhelming majority of motorists never notice them. A free website called DeFlock changes that by showing where many of those cameras are located and, more importantly, helping users avoid them if they choose. In a world where surveillance is often invisible, that’s a surprisingly powerful feature…”

“Automated License Plate Readers (ALPRs or LPRs) are AI-powered cameras that capture and analyze images of all passing vehicles, storing details like your car's location, date, and time. They also capture your car's make, model, colour, and identifying features such as dents, roof racks, and bumper stickers, often turning these into searchable data points.
These cameras collect data on millions of vehicles regardless of whether the driver is suspected of a crime. These systems are marketed as indispensable tools to fight crime, but they ignore the powerful tools police already have to track criminals, such as cell phone location data, creating a loophole that doesn't require a warrant…”

@phalanx @mysk or to put it simple:

You trust noone!

Espechally not @signalapp which demand Phone Numbers, and thus can trivially help in deanonymizing and localizing users.

  • They shouldn't have that info to begin with, as there's no "legitimate reason" to mandate it, much less to collect and store it on aws!
    • As more and more juristictions literally outlaw anonymous [Prepaid-]SIMs [even retroactively!] they enable themselves to supporting "Murder by Metadata"

I mean, what's next?
#KSA banning the sale of #CrudeOil products to #LGBTQIA* ?
#Russia demanding #PII of #Freemailers??

Oh nevermind, Russia's #Censorship agency, #Roskomnadnozr literally demanded a #Govware - #Backdoor from @delta / #deltaChat developers and started Criminal Procedures against them.

It's only due to the fact that Russia is isolated that said #FLOSS devs ain't threatened with enforcement.

It would be different if they pissed off the #US!

PII-Shield: режем персональные данные в логах до того, как они доехали до ELK

Сначала хотелось просто скрывать случайные токены по энтропии. Потом выяснилось, что UUID, trace id и номера карт ломают эту идею, и пришлось собирать более честный фильтр логов.

PII-Shield: режем персональные данные в логах до того, как они доехали до ELK

Изначально идея была грубее: взять логовую строку, посчитать энтропию у подозрительных кусков и скрывать всё, что похоже на случайный секрет. PII здесь — это personally identifiable information, то...
