Glasses that can record you shouldn't go unregulated. Ireland's AI Committee agrees. Ireland’s Oireachtas AI Committee has called for smart glasses that can record people to be regulated over privacy concerns. The bigger question: should they be banned outright?

🆕 Copy Sanitized Link Links often carry tracking parameters that tell a site who shared them and where they came from. Copy Sanitized Link strips those out before the link reaches your clipboard, so the person you send it to gets the page and nothing else. It’s an easy habit that keeps a bit more of your browsing to yourself. Available now in Vivaldi 8.3 on mobile and desktop. ✅ #Browser #Vivaldi #Software #Apps #Privacy

Mozilla's study of nearly 25 million Firefox users found that its fingerprinting protections cut the share of uniquely identifiable users from 75% to 46%. That figure is measured against simulated commercial fingerprinters. Mozilla says some protections are on by default only in Private Browsing, and Strict Enhanced Tracking Protection applies them to all windows. https://fingerprinting.study/ #Firefox #Privacy

Why VPNs Are Worth Defending Developers of virtual private network (VPN) apps are reporting that their products are again being pulled from Apple’s App Store in Russia. This is an unacceptable crackdown on a vital tool to protect privacy and speech online. Why? VPNs give people a way to control their own online activities. When you visit a website through…

Good morning Fedi friends! I was recently creeped out by an article about how #Apple has been secretly building a super detailed « personal knowledge graph » on every user since 2022 ( https://8rank.ai/game/apple-intelligence-personal-knowledge-graph ) Excerpt: "MacOS builds a knowledge graph about the person who uses it: who you know, how it decided those people are related to you, who you write to and how often, whose faces recur in your photos, where you might be next." Claims that this information stays on device do not make me feel any better… this is incredibly intrusive (I did find that folder on my Mac, even if I have Apple Intelligence turned off - yikes). My big project this month will be turning my beloved MacBook Air 2013 into a #Linux laptop. LMK if you think this is something I should write about for #MySoCalledSudoLife. Have a great day everyone ! #privacy
