Why does TikTok want your work phone? It's dying to 'connect' with its friends in Beijing! 🇨🇳 It harvests keystrokes & GPS from corp devices. 20+ govts banned it. Should you? YES. #TikTokBan #DataHarvest #DadJoke #CorporateSpy #DeleteMeta #DeleteTikTok
The Orwellian nightmare has become reality. 1984 was fiction. Today, “consent banners” are the Ministry of Truth. Clicking “Accept” doesn’t grant choice – it legitimizes tracking. Big brother is watching you! #Orwell #BigBrother #Cookies #GDPR #Privacy #Surveillance #DataHarvest
Although browsers like Brave and DuckDuckGo reduce web tracking, they do not guarantee total anonymity, as tracking can still occur through advanced browser fingerprinting, cookies, or tracking pixels on third-party sites. #Brave #DuckDuckGo #Privacy #Apps #GDPR #DataHarvest
Apple, Google, and Meta are not guardians of privacy; they are predators of it. Those who benefit most from surveillance in the West cannot be trusted to dismantle the system that feeds them. #Apple #Google #Meta #BigTech #Privacy #GDPR #DataHarvest
EC websites use cookies despite the consent rules for internal users. There are no 'essential' cookies – only tracking. Europe must lead by example, not hypocrisy. EU is very good at giving lectures, but it doesn't learn from its own lessons. #EU #EC #Cookies #GDPR #DataHarvest
TikTok’s invisible pixels track users far beyond the app. In the US, LinkedIn’s new corporate ties only mean surveillance shifts to other actors—different pixels, same data harvest. No platform grants real privacy. #TikTok #Pixels #GDPR #DataHarvest

App X is tracking users, even when the option to share data with partners is disabled: "One of our partners has indicated that you may be connecting via a proxy—such as a VPN—which may change the country or region that is displayed on your profile". #X #GDPR #DataHarvest
After Harper, the #CPC partnered with an organized #MAGA aligned network that developed apps for RW networks under the guise of GOTV.
That developer had ties to #NRA, Maga, #Trump, and several RW anti-choice religious groups.
It was available on Apple and Google Play.

Dane publiczne w Polsce są masowo kopiowane i sprzedawane przez firmy typu Rejestr, ALEO, Okredo czy BizRaport. Skrzynki instytucji toną w spamie, a UE wciąż nie potrafi ukrócić tego handlu danymi. Czym to się różni od praktyk Big Tech? #Dane #Prywatność #UE #GDPR #DataHarvest
Phone-Free February? A month without social media? Or without the internet? Or just without your phone? These are foolish ideas designed to harvest your personal data. Think twice. Don't fall for it. #PhoneFreeFebruary #GDPR #Privacy #Trap #DataHarvest

Google shrugged off the €2.95B fine from the European Commission. In days, ad revenue and data sales restored the loss. Now they demand phone numbers and home addresses. Europe must choose: exemplary fines or outright ban, as China did. #Google #EC #EU #GDPR #Privacy #Trap #DataHarvest
Phone Free February? 1 day maybe, but 28 days is absurd. Phones aren’t just social media—they’re lifelines for work, banks & personal contacts. This looks less like solidarity, more like mass data collection. Don’t fall for it. #PhoneFreeFebruary #GDPR #Privacy #Trap #DataHarvest

It’s becoming hard to see that this really is a Labour Govt.
Sign and reject this nonsensical and ridiculous proposal, that was not found in the Labour Party manifesto.

Meat recalls plummeted during COVID and still haven’t fully recovered.
144 recalls in 2019. Just 65 in 2023. Yet foodborne illness deaths more than doubled in 2024.

SNAP participation dropped in most states from 2015 to 2024. Now, Congress is weighing major cuts and stricter rules that could reshape access to food assistance nationwide.

And will be seemingly as deadly for them too, in coming years?
Will they take action? No, of course not.... The data harvesters are paying big $$ as their donors.

#Dataharvest 25 – die European Investigative Journalism Conference – war definitiv eines meiner bisherigen Highlights in diesem Jahr. Mein größtes Learning lag natürlich im Bereich Datenanalyse, Tools und KI & so viele inspirierende investigative Journalistinnen aus ganz Europa zu treffen!
I loved attending #DataHarvest after a 2-year hiatus. I was part of 4 sessions, as the OpenAleph dev, for @darcdataresearch.bsky.social.
I published a write-up about making audio & video files searchable and publishing the (AI generated) transcription: openaleph.org/blog/2025/05...
