We live in the sort of timeline where I had to spend extra effort while shopping for my new prescription glasses frame to make sure it was unambiguously clear that these aren't surveillance pervert glasses. Yep. We're there. These horrifying non-consensual surveillance glasses are everywhere now. That's life now. I hate it 🤓 #BanRayBan #Meta #PervertGlasses #SmartGlasses #Surveillance #Privacy #Consent

Mass surveillance is incompatible with freedom and democracy. Which one do you want to pick? #Privacy #Democracy #HumanRights #MassSurveillance

Ami-es Français-es 🇫🇷❤️ En ce moment, la France supporte toujours cette proposition de surveillance de masse pour l'Europe. Les conséquences qu'une telle politique aurait sur la démocratie sont énormes. Je sais que vous êtes occupés en ce moment mais il ne reste que 2 jours pour contacter vos représentants et leur demander de protéger vos droits humains en s'opposant à cette proposition de Chat Control. Voici un lien facile pour contacter vos représentants en quelques cliques seulement (multilingue):

I see so much disinformation being spread around about privacy-focused technologies and products. This is incredibly detrimental to people seeking to improve their data privacy. Please make sure to verify your sources before spreading information, and remain skeptical of anyone without supporting expertise or evidence. The result of this negligent or malicious disinformation is keeping people on horribly invasive platforms, for fear of making the wrong move. Please think carefully before sharing information that might be inaccurate, false, or misleading. We all need to work together to help people improve their privacy online. Thank you 💚🔒 #Privacy #Disinformation

I never thought I would see society slip into authoritarian surveillance so fast. If we don't push back hard and quickly against this, we will lose all our rights. #Privacy #HumanRights

New Privacy Guides article 🔒☂️ by me: If you care about data privacy, You must also care for the privacy of others. We often talk about what we can do to improve our own privacy, but we don't talk enough about what we should be doing to improve the privacy of others. Together, we have to built a culture that normalizes respecting everyone's privacy. Here are a few ideas to start: https://www.privacyguides.org/articles/2025/03/10/the-privacy-of-others/ #PrivacyGuides #Privacy #HumanRights #DigitalRights #Consent image

Remember, you always have the power to say no. Refuse to participate. Refuse to help making the world worse. Refuse to work for the oppressor. Refuse to fight for the invader. #USpol

If you are staying on a corporate social media platform because the people you follow are still there, consider others are also staying there because you are still there. Someone needs to start the move. Be that person. Leave X for good. Leave Facebook forever. Remember blue skies eventually turn grey. Embrace the social media that cannot get sold to a billionaire. Embrace the Fediverse 💚 #X #Facebook #Instagram #Threads #HelloQuitX #DeleteFacebook #DeleteTwitter #Mastodon #Fediverse
