Great #DSA report by @bitsoffreedom about how #Snapchat manipulates its users through notifications:

"From 109 notifications we categorized 39 as misleading." They contained "false information (e.g., “check out this post from someone you follow”—even though we weren't following anyone), resembled a personal message from other users, or were incorrectly labeled as being “time-sensitive”."

"Any workplace surveillance should have strict limitations on its use," EFF’s @legind told Business Insider. That might include not using the technology outside the workplace or beyond work hours. https://www.businessinsider.com/employee-surveillance-how-boss-monitors-your-work-2025-12
