I wrote a piece on the @purism blog on why consent is critical for #privacy, the tech industry's failure to get consent, and as a result how "Privacy has become the tattoo removal of the information age". https://puri.sm/posts/consent-matters-when-tech-shares-your-secrets-without-your-permission/
Client-side heuristics beat human-maintained lists in #PrivacyBadger - perhaps they could be useful elsewhere? #designpattern
"The techniques used by trackers are always evolving, so Privacy Badgerβs countermeasures have to evolve, too. In the process of developing the new cookie-sharing heuristic, we learned more about how to evaluate and iterate on our detection metrics."
This is a fantastic long read from Valentina Pavel via @privacyint
"If we keep our focus primarily on figuring out data ownership, we face the risk of sidetracking the discussion onto a very questionable path.

I tested with http://internetbadguys.com since example.com uses HTTPS these days. π

"WebRTC WG has asked for privacy and security considerations around the disclosure of a user's local IP address in #webrtc "
https://www.w3.org/wiki/Privacy/IPAddresses
You can prevent this with, for example, #ublockorigin or #privacybadger - see https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Prevent-WebRTC-from-leaking-local-IP-address for some discussion.
My favorite response to #libremone so far: "I don't know about this... Names Sound to political biased (#liberal) and federal (#fediverse) to not suspect undercover #NSA devs involved."

You know you need to use HTTPS to get the little green lock, but you canβt be expected to review the network security of every WiFi access point you use. #libremtunnel
