33 years ago today, I submitted a proposal for a system called the World Wide Web. I'd normally publish thoughts on the state of the web. But these are not normal times. Instead, @rosemaryleith & I ask you to join us to #StandWithUkraine however you can. webfoundation.org/2022/03/standi…

Brave keeps expanding its privacy-aware product portfolio with a search engine. Excellent mission and execution in hands of a Peter Thiel funded company. When will a decentralized venture accomplish similar achievements? techcrunch.com/2021/06/22/bra…

Apple and Google intend to push pandemic trackers into most of the world's smartphones. In response, @ACLU just published a whitepaper listing bottom-line principles phone-based contact-tracing systems must follow to comply with basic rights. Summary: aclu.org/news/privacy-t…

We are working on a mobile app to offer an alternative to the Dutch #coronaApp that is privacy-preserving and decentralized. It will adhere to the technological demands of the ‘Veilig tegen corona’ manifesto (veiligtegencorona.nl) 1/6

What about a (d)App that stores IDs of devices discovered through bluetooth/wifi for x days and warns those devices (if they install the #app in the meantime) in case you have been diagnosed with #Covid_19 ? This could be done anonymously @licuende @antirival @aral @jackdurose

Those who know about us have power over us. Obfuscation may be our best digital weapon. thereader.mitpress.mit.edu/the-fantasy-of… @HNissenbaum #privacy

Bringing big tech to heel: how do we take back control of the internet? theguardian.com/world/2019/jun… By Peter Lewis Registrar of the @IntlCrimCourt

These Android apps have been tracking you, even when you say stop! @AngryBirds, @audible_com, @CleanMaster, @Flipboard, @sybogames, @TempleRun. Thanks @v0max for this research! cnet.com/news/these-and…

Digital IDs have significant benefits, but they also pose one of the gravest risks to human rights of any technology. Good read by @solomonbrett wired.com/story/digital-… wired.com/story/digital-…

@TimSchu @Ecosia Good question. Can mean many different things! In this case it was about atomatically issuing tokens to the service users that provide them with some kind of rights (either voting or economical)

@thegooddata @Ecosia What exactly do you mean with DAO?

.@Ecosia seems everything we wanted to do with @thegooddata (and we failed). With one difference: it should be great that they find the way to share ownership with their users. Would a DAO be an option? @TimSchu linkedin.com/pulse/our-comp…

Is facebook a "data factory" as @stratechery says? Data processing factory would be more accurate. Raw data is in fact created (and owned) by the people. Interesting read though stratechery.com/2018/data-fact…

...and a big leap for mankind. We really hope so. Data ownership in the cornerstone of the new internet. All our support to @inrupt_inc ow.ly/TOQP50jhf4q

Google, Facebook, Microsoft, and Twitter partner for an open-source 'future of portability’ project ow.ly/Cbhd30l2WWY Where is the trick @russellbrandom ?

Facebook’s Push for Facial Recognition Prompts Privacy Alarms ow.ly/m0Em30kW8Nl @natashanyt #facialrecognition #evildata

We've always been told that only machines read our Gmail. It is not true. Is there any internal policy in place to protect us from developers misbehavior? ow.ly/wOK930kM9Ng

Facebook used to be a democracy, but nobody voted. User governance is not straightforward. May even be a chimera after all ow.ly/jK2H30jnoe2 @thedextriarchy
