Hello, $MASTO_USER!

It's December, which means the end of the year is fast approaching. Here's a quick overview of what you accomplished in the Fediverse this year:

I have no idea. We don't track what you do.

The more #AISlop I see flooding my mom's #Facebook page, the less I understand the motive for it.

#LarryEllison, I understand. Motherfucker wants to be #BigBrother and put all of us #peasants under #Ai #surveillance "to ensure our good behaviour."

But WHY is someone deluging my mom with crap of #KateMiddleton, parrots speaking perfect English, or "Pink salt tricks" (I swear I'm not making that last one up)? Who's paying them to do that?

Sanctioned spyware maker Intellexa had direct access to government espionage victims, researchers say

EU’s Top Court Just Made It Literally Impossible To Run A User-Generated Content Platform Legally | Techdirt

Oh dear:

Under this ruling, it appears that any website that hosts any user-generated content can be strictly liable if any of that content contains “sensitive personal data” about any person. But how the fuck are they supposed to handle that?

The basic answer is to pre-scan any user-generated content for anything that might later be deemed to be sensitive personal data and make sure it doesn’t get posted.

How would a platform do that?

Intellexa’s Predator spyware now hacks phones via zero-click ads and fake 2G towers, targeting users without a tap 😱📱🔍 Read the full investigation: https://cyberinsider.com/intellexa-predator-spyware-infects-phones-via-ads-and-2g-exploits/ #Cybersecurity #Spyware #Surveillance #Newz

Well, this is unsettling. Researchers claim sanctioned spyware maker Intellexa had live remote access to their customers' surveillance systems, essentially peeking directly into espionage victims' personal data.

So much for 'customer controlled' data. What are your thoughts on companies having backdoors to client systems, even in surveillance tech?

This is shocking. Even for someone like me who researches this stuff all the time. With a first hand account it's worse than you thought...

@autonomysolidarity Aujourd'hui, un amendement à la loi sur la police a été adopté à #Berlin. Il autorise à peu près tout ce qui est possible en matière de surveillance numérique : scanners comportementaux, recherche faciale, analyse de données de type Palantir, trojan d'État....'.

Futurism found that Elon Musk’s Grok chatbot is actively doxxing everyday people, handing over real, current home addresses, phone numbers, emails, even family members’ info with almost no prompting.

If you ever needed a reason to jump ship and join @Mastodon, here you go.

"Earlier this week, Futurism reported that xAI’s Grok appeared to accurately dox the address of Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy when asked by random X users.

And it turns out that the foulmouthed bot isn’t just doxxing celebrities: a Futurism review found that the free web version of Grok will, with extremely minimal prompting, provide accurate residential addresses for non-public figures — a feature that could easily assist stalking, harassment, and other dangerous types of behavior."
