Have you ever had this happen to you? - Lemmy.world
So recently, I went into a shipping service store, that is well known, etc etc.
I walked in, asked a question, then walked out. I did nothing else. A couple
days later, I get an email from them, to the email address that I have used for
them in the past. The email wants me to take a survey. Now, since I have made a
shipping label online with them before once, then took that label (attached to a
parcel) in the store, which was then scanned, I can only assume that this recent
email I got was the result of facial recognition data gathering. I am an
extremely privacy conscious person, but this tactic evades even me, as the only
way to avoid it, would be to never set foot into their store. I really really
hate myself too because the email I used with them is one of my personal-name
emails and now they have that. I did that before I became privacy conscious. I
can only imagine how other people feel, who are much deeper in the hole than a
random facial recognition incident. Have any of your ever experienced this?
where you walked into some place and then got an email? It’s so creepy…
Panama as a privacy jurisdiction?

Panama as a privacy jurisdiction? - Lemmy.world
The only service that comes to mind for me is NordVPN, which is based in Panama.
Is Panama the big brain move? If so, why aren’t more privacy services doing
this?

Signal Essay about CIA ties and anti-FOSS - Lemmy.world
We as a community must stop recommending Signal. For far too long we have
blindly followed this app without a second thought. It has created a cult of
followers, when there are much better apps out there for us to use.

essay was posted to r/Privacy and subsequently removed and censored for
literally No Reason. This is honestly really scary:

https://archive.ph/FZr1d [https://archive.ph/FZr1d] I am seriously hoping we can
have a discussion about this on lemmy. @TheAnonymouseJoker , I know you from
r/PrivateLife, and thought you’d be the one to go to about this. Thanks for
being open in the past and not bowing to the inner circle of reddit cringelords.
I also am preparing an essay of my own about a complicit honeypot-ish web going
on between Signal, Skiff, r/Privacy, r/PrivacyGuides, etc. They have a crazy
little cabal that is very creepy. Any materials are welcome. Every time i turn
over a stone i find two more. More to come.
