Netzpolitik.org: Britische Chatkontrolle vorerst geplatzt
Bis auf Weiteres plant die britische Regierung offenbar nicht mehr, eine sogenannte Chatkontrolle auf den Inseln einzuführen. Eine automatisierte Inhaltekontrolle, die Darstellungen von Kindesmissbrauch aufspüren soll, bleibe so lange ausgesetzt, bis sie „technisch machbar“ ist, berichtet die Financial Times.

Simplified Privacy: Google’s Surveillance: The Shocking Truth
By using Gmail or Google Docs, you’re forcing and enabling Google to fingerprint your loved ones or friends. Even if you think you’re doing nothing illegal, you assume that Google will give you and those you care about an equal opportunity for your business to thrive. They can reduce Google’s search traffic to your website, or bounce your emails to potential employers or customers. They can buckle your business at the knees if they think it fits its agenda and by giving them so much information you’ve completely surrendered your freedom.

Heise Online: Britische Regierung strebt Befugnis zur Blockade von Sicherheitsupdates an
Kouvakas schlägt Alarm: "Gerätehersteller müssten wahrscheinlich auch die Regierung benachrichtigen, bevor sie wichtige Sicherheitsupdates zur Verfügung stellen, die bekannte Schwachstellen beheben und die Sicherheit der Geräte gewährleisten." Dementsprechend könnte der Innenminister dann nach Erhalt einer solchen Vorankündigung die Betreiber auffordern, etwa davon abzusehen, Sicherheitslücken zu schließen. Der Regierung liege insbesondere daran, den Zugriff auf elektronische Kommunikation zu Überwachungszwecken aufrechtzuerhalten.

TOR: Snowflake
Snowflake is a system that allows people from all over the world to access censored websites and applications. Similar to how VPNs assist users in getting around Internet censorship, Snowflake helps you avoid being noticed by Internet censors by making your Internet activity appear as though you're using the Internet for a regular video or voice call.

Cory Doctorow: Autoenshittification
Forget F1: the only car race that matters now is the race to turn your car into a digital extraction machine, a high-speed inkjet printer on wheels, stealing your private data as it picks your pocket. Your car's digital infrastructure is a costly, dangerous nightmare – but for automakers in pursuit of postcapitalist utopia, it's a dream they can't give up on.
