This is not a drill.
The nightmare scenario for personal privacy in a world where women are stripped of their reproductive rights is coming to pass:
Meta, Google, other tech companies are providing police with evidence to help prosecute women who seek or perform abortions
💯💯
These companies, who have built billion dollar businesses off user data, almost all of it shared by users of their own volition, because the service is "free", have and have had 0 incentive to prioritize user/data privacy because we have no privacy regulation that really hits these companies where it hurts 💵
They sell it and give it up to LE or anyone else.
$7.8 million for sharing user data with FG/GOOG/SNAP. for this mental health app isn't even scratching the surface

@alaric @mimsical people still using #NSAbook / #StasiBook post - #Snowden should really reevaluate how they use #tech and either stop using it since they're basically unpaid "unofficial employees" of #SurveillanceCapitalism aka. #Cyberfacism or fucking get their shit together and learn fundamentals in #ITsec, #InfoSec, #OpSec & #ComSec...
@[email protected] THIS IS WHY PEOPLE SHOULD NEVER EVER TRUST ANY CORPORATION! THEY'LL ALWAYS BE BETRAYED IF THEY DO!! ALSO: LEARN TO USE PROPER #E2EE aka. #GnuPG & #OpenPGP and no, going to another #SingleVendor / #SingleProvider solution won't help. Regarldess if #ProtonMail, #Tutanote, #Signal, #WhatsApp, etc.
