which I believe on many sites means you accept all

apparently that depends on where you are

Opt-in consent is the standard under GDPR — implied consent is not valid

You must block non-essential cookies before consent — anything else is non-compliant

Non-essential cookies are blocked until the user gives consent.

“Opt-out consent” model is more common in regions with less stringent data privacy regulations, such as under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).

ublocks “cookie notices” filter is enough.

consent-o-matic still works though. Why would an update be urgent if it’s still working fine?

No it’s not. He can rush it through before the election. No political benefit for him, he can’t get reelected.

He is not alone there. Others around him would have prior preoccupations. I agree with quadrature on this:

Pas content, Macron a déjà annoncé qu’il demandait au gouvernement de revenir avec une nouvelle loi interdisant les réseaux sociaux aux jeunes. Une annonce qui ne sera sans doute pas suivie d’effet, tant le calendrier parlementaire français est bouché d’ici aux élections présidentielles de 2027. Mais c’est par l’Union européenne que cette mesure pourrait revenir. La Commission européenne planche toujours sur une loi européenne pour instaurer une interdiction des réseaux sociaux aux jeunes.

from https://www.laquadrature.net/2026/07/22/le-parlement-vote-linterdiction-des-reseaux-sociaux-aux-jeunes-de-moins-de-15-ans/#censure

Macron responded to the ruling by instructing Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu to rework the legislation to address the court’s concerns, with the government now targeting spring 2027 for a revised law.

spring 2027? it’s the end of his presidency. His ban is practically dead.

did he? when, where? context?

not so “horrible”, i think

Im stuck with an s23 for a while yet. Is it even worth the trouble of trying to use f droid, shutting off google play services and disabling all the other shit on my phone, when at its core its all spyware?

it of course is.

i’m guessing you already know how to debloat your phone using adb.

in addition to what’s already posted you can use a private dns that filters system trackers as well ☞ https://mullvad.net/en/help/dns-over-https-and-dns-over-tls

keep in mind, netGuard (or rethink) is less efficient when you use private dns

I really wish an alternative existed that wasn’t just a prototype or $1000.

a reconditioned second hand pixel or 1+ from a trusted seller must be less than 200. if you go for a nonPixel, check before buying if the model is supported on https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/

you’re writing about ipods! Ipods don’t die.

i’m still on old lawnchair (legacy?) because it’s more customizable than the up to date lawnchair

another question would be: Now that your government has a face and a name for that telephone you’re using, what other information can they get through boogle’s trackers and what are they using it for?

you can block trackers (i use netGuard) and the app will probably still work fine. Same with banking apps

ipv6 works fine

i also use wireguard with no problems

i use and used it on different phone brands and tablets too

🤷

i would say netGuard is “the best non-root firewall now”

but it’s been years since i stopped using rethink and i never needed to go back to it

you don’t need root to use a firewall

if he’s such a boogle fan, why even did he have a phone with LOS?

that advertisement becomes more relevant and they don’t need to search for things they may like

Are you suggesting it’s literally illegal to walk around with a barclava in your city?

☞ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_ban_on_face_covering

The French ban on face covering is the result of an act of parliament passed in 2010 banning the wearing of face-covering headgear, including masks, helmets, balaclavas, niqābs and other veils covering the face, and full body costumes and zentais (skin-tight garments covering entire body) in public places, except under specified circumstances.

a balaclava to be anonymous?!

which city let’s you walk around with a balaclava?

…yet. At this point I wish some aliens had mercy on us and nuked certain parliaments & sniped billinaires on this planet simultaneously, giving us a chance to try & start over.

why would we need aliens to do that? people reclaimed their “chance to try & start over” many times before.

install netGuard and lockdown both wifi and mobile data.

« Que risquez-vous ? Que vous importe d’être instantanément reconnu, grâce au moyen le plus simple et le plus infaillible ? Le criminel seul trouve avantage à se cacher… » Il reconnaissait bien que le raisonnement n’était pas sans valeur, mais il ne se sentait pas convaincu. En ce temps-là, le procédé de M. Bertillon n’était en effet redoutable qu’au criminel, et il en est de même encore maintenant. C’est le mot de criminel dont le sens s’est prodigieusement élargi, jusqu’à désigner tout citoyen peu favorable au Régime, au Système, au Parti, ou à l’homme qui les incarne. […]

L’idée qu’un citoyen, qui n’a jamais eu affaire à la Justice de son pays, devrait rester parfaitement libre de dissimuler son identité à qui lui plaît, pour des motifs dont il est seul juge, ou simplement pour son plaisir, que toute indiscrétion d’un policier sur ce chapitre ne saurait être tolérée sans les raisons les plus graves, cette idée ne vient plus à l’esprit de personne. Le jour n’est pas loin peut-être où il nous semblera aussi naturel de laisser notre clef dans la serrure, afin que la police puisse entrer chez nous nuit et jour, que d’ouvrir notre portefeuille à toute réquisition. Et lorsque l’État jugera plus pratique, afin d’épargner le temps de ses innombrables contrôleurs, de nous imposer une marque extérieure, pourquoi hésiterions-nous à nous laisser marquer au fer, à la joue ou à la fesse, comme le bétail ? L’épuration des Mal-Pensants, si chère aux régimes totalitaires, en serait grandement facilitée.

i agree

privacy is measured in vaginas, not penises!

The department, which serves a community of over 129,000 residents, launched its drone program in 2020,

no amount is too much for catching a bike thief /s

5 years of “drone program” for a community of 129000. They can sleep better now that the “suspected shop lifter” is at last arrested 🤷 those police toys must have been expensive, if they’re making news about this

isn’t orbot doing the same thing?

Orbot is a free VPN and proxy app that empowers other apps to use the internet more securely. Orbot uses Tor to encrypt your Internet traffic and then hides it by bouncing through a series of computers around the world. Tor is free software and an open network that helps you defend against a form of network surveillance that threatens personal freedom and privacy, confidential business activities and relationships, and state security known as traffic analysis.

🤔

Social media erupted with bewildered reactions from attendees. Some praised the band for forcing a conversation about surveillance that most people avoid, while others expressed discomfort with the unexpected data capture.

Unlike typical concert technology that enhances your experience, this facial recognition system explicitly confronted attendees with the reality of data capture. The band made visible what usually happens invisibly—your face being recorded, analyzed, and potentially stored by systems you never explicitly agreed to interact with.

The audience split predictably along ideological lines. Privacy advocates called it a boundary violation disguised as art. Others viewed it as necessary shock therapy for our sleepwalking acceptance of facial recognition in everyday spaces. Both reactions prove the intervention achieved its disruptive goal.

Your relationship with facial recognition technology just got more complicated. Every venue, every event, every public space potentially captures your likeness. Massive Attack simply made the invisible visible—and deeply uncomfortable. The question now isn’t whether this was art or privacy violation, but whether you’re ready to confront how normalized surveillance has become in your daily life.

how will this “client side scanning” be implemented?

it’s, not only worrying, but very confusing.

Tor won’t help if the instance is in U.K. (or soon Canada &c) and responsible for “verifying your age”
