👁 Don't scan your iris
I will just give you some of the reasons why you should not scan something as delicate as your iris with Worldcoin. There are many reasons. After a lot of reading, I will leave you with some points:
They want to prove that you are human globally but there are countries excluded. Do you really think they could get what they want?
A bit ugly to exclude certain human beings from this "great" purpose
You are not located in, under the control of, a national, or resident of: Syria, the Crimea, Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions of Ukraine, Russia, North Korea, Iran, Cuba, or any other country or region with whom the United States, the European Union, or any other country or jurisdiction has restricted the access of the Services
Why would I give sensitive information like biometric data to a company that covers its back in case of vulnerabilities or hacks?
This is from their terms and conditions of use:
The Services are new. While this software has been extensively tested, the software used for the Services is still relatively new and could have bugs or security vulnerabilities.
More disclaimers, this time in their privacy policy:
We have a dedicated teams to look after your data and have implemented physical and electronic safeguards that protect your data both in transit and at rest. At the same time, no service can be completely secure.
More risks explained:
The particular risks of biometric can be realized in the following instances that we try to prevent in the following ways:
- Biometric data can leak due to a cyber attack. We prevent this by above industry standard cybersecurity measures.- Biometric data can be requested by a government. We prevent this by committing ourselves to challenge any unproportionate and undue requests of governments.
"We may mistakenly detect that you are logged in"
Collisions in a Proof of Uniqueness system is a fatal error, it would mean that a human would not have the right to access because "you are already registered"
A new scan might fix this or it might not.
As described in Section 2.3, below, the algorithm is not perfect and may make mistakes, such as erroneously determining that you have already signed up at an Orb.
Ah, the orb is not 100% opensource.
No one can guarantee that a system is perfect and not vulnerable.
That's why they try to cover their backs in the terms and conditions and that's why I don't want to give them my iris among other things.
It is also agreed not to go to court with them, but to reach an agreement with them through arbitration.
They have a tamper detection system, which suggests that you cannot make your own orb and verify your own iris.
Which makes sense because the only way to prove identity like this is through a centralized entity.

Microsoft may train its AI on everything you type in Word and Excel via the Connected Experiences feature that analyzes user-created content. The default setting allows Microsoft to use articles, artwork, and other documents open in Office applications to train AI without asking for user consent in each case. So anyone concerned about protecting their intellectual property or confidential information may want to do something with it. For example, the user can opt out of this feature by disabling the appropriate option in Office settings. However, on a Windows PC it is seven clicks deep in the File menu.
The company's website contains a document called the " Microsoft Services Agreement ." It states that to the extent necessary to provide services to you and others, protect you and the services, and improve Microsoft products and services, you grant Microsoft a worldwide, royalty-free license to use the intellectual property associated with your content, such as copying, storing, transmitting, reformatting, displaying, and distributing your content on the services by means of communications. Doesn't sound great.
Microsoft 365's official X account is denying the accusations.

🛰 Tracking world leaders through a sports app
From Trump to Putin, including Macron
An in-depth investigation by Le Monde revealed that Strava data could be used to track the movements of leaders thanks to their bodyguards
Le Monde has identified 26 American security agents who had been clocking miles while attending official work trips, VELO reports
Twelve members of France's Presidential Security Group and six members of Russia's Federal Protection Service were also identified by the paper as regular Strava users. The French outlet dug so deep into its "Strava Leaks" series that it was even able to pinpoint where Macron went on holiday in 2021. Something that can happen not only to the president, but also to "first ladies."
“The affected personnel have been informed,” the service told Le Monde. “We will review this information to determine whether any additional training or guidance is required. We do not assess that there has been any impact on protection operations or threats to any protected person.”
In 2017, the platform published global “heat maps” highlighting all of its users’ favorite routes. These included “heat trails” left by personnel training outside military bases in Afghanistan, Djibouti and Syria.
Something similar happened in 2022, when Strava detectives identified and tracked security personnel working from bases in Israel.
Users can set their activities to “private” and thus remove their workouts from public information.
However, “private” activities are still added by Strava to its “community-powered features,” including its global heatmaps.
The popular fitness app has recently launched a new feature designed to encourage users to be more aware of their personal safety. With a quick click, you can make your routes private, and while it takes one more click, you can also hide them from global heat maps.

📱 Goodbye Google as we know it?
Google is in court, an anti-trust lawsuit.
Several Justice Department lawyers argue that Google should not only sell its Chrome browser, but also break it up into smaller pieces.
Selling Chrome is for one simple reason:
It is a way to keep millions of users tied not only to their browser, but also to their search engine and associated tools.
But here comes the best part: What about Android?
Well, while they won't get rid of Android, they do want to do something: Separate Android from the rest of Google products.
Basically, they would force Google services and other apps like YouTube, Maps, etc. to be installed separately.
If this were the case, people would have a totally clean Android by default in some cases (at the expense of what each manufacturer introduces)
Perhaps better times are coming when it will be easier to use Android without having to rely on Google services.

📱 Improvements to Signal video calls
Signal has recently shown a new feature for its users:
You won't have to group someone up to join the call.
This makes it much easier to make video calls without having to go through what happens to many people: They get rid of dozens of groups that they only use once or every very long time.
And what's so special about it?
In my opinion, it could make development easier so that you can talk to anyone, whether they have Signal or not.
This is something that is not currently there and could make Signal a more widely used app, which I very much wish for.

· Raise hand button
· Emoji reactions

🗺 Map of cameras monitoring your car | DeFlock
During a trip from Washington to Alabama, Will Freeman began noticing all the cameras he was driving around in, and upon investigation discovered they were automatic license plate readers (ALPRs), primarily used by police.
In Huntsville, Freeman noticed these cameras forming a ring around the city center, leading him to start DeFlock on Open Street Map to map license plate surveillance camera locations around the world to determine their location and address.
To date, DeFlock has identified more than 1,700 cameras in the United States and more than 5,600 worldwide.
The project also aims to offer navigation routes that allow drivers to avoid these cameras, although it also indicates that in some places this is impossible. Which makes DeFlocks a fundamental tool to highlight this and try to find options.
Open source project DeFlock is mapping the locations of license plate surveillance cameras around the world.
The tool is DeFlock:
