In its annual SEC report, Meta repeats its warning that it may be forced to shut down “significant” services in Europe if new EU data transfer rules are adopted

If Meta is not given the option to transfer, store and process data from its European users on US-based servers … Source: S.E.C. .

By the way, this is Facebook's actual threat - “we will take away these jobs”: https://m.independent.ie/... Time for Ireland and the EU to decide whether they want to live as Facebook's bitch or not.

Keep screeching! https://www.eff.org/... Also, how about we start funding and building Small Tech, not Big Tech, so our only political agency in the future isn't as glorified howler monkeys shout-begging man-child CEO-kings to “please, sirs, be kind.” #apple #privacy

Apple delays the rollout of recently announced child safety features, says it will take more time to collect feedback from stakeholders and make improvements

Last month, Apple announced a handful of new child safety features that proved to be controversial, including CSAM detection features for iCloud Photos.

Nothing in this FAQ (PDF: https://www.apple.com/...) that Apple has released addresses any of our concerns. It basically boils down to “trust us, don't worry, it'll be fine.” To reiterate what we're asking: Apple must halt deployment of its content monitoring technology (1/2)

If you were to ask me who is a bigger threat to our human rights today, Google or Apple with these new plans, it's Apple, without a doubt. If you know anything about me or my work in the past decade you will understand exactly what that means. I'm as shocked as you (1/2)

I'm sure they've run this by their 1/2-billion-dollar-a-year customer (Google). Google allowing Mozilla to do this, combined with Google's own plans to phase out third-party cookies, tells you they're confident they don't need them to track you anymore. #SurveillanceCapitalism https://twitter.com/...

Firefox update adds support for multiple picture-in-picture windows and “Total Cookie Protection”, to prevent the use of cookies to track users across sites
