“Car makers have been bragging about their cars being “computers on wheels » for years to promote their advanced features. However, the conversation about what driving a computer means for its occupants’ privacy hasn’t really caught up. While we worried that our doorbells and watches that connect to the internet might be spying on us, car brands quietly entered the data business by turning their vehicles into powerful data-gobbling machines. Machines that, because of their all those brag-worthy bells and whistles, have an unmatched power to watch, listen, and collect information about what you do and where you go in your car.All 25 car brands we researched earned our *Privacy Not Included warning label — making cars the official worst category of products for privacy that we have ever reviewed.”

“Ces requêtes sont adressées à l’Agence de sécurité nationale (NSA), qui est chargée de collecter ces e-mails, photos, vidéos, et autres documents. Celle-ci a reconnu par le passé que des données sur des Américains étaient aussi récoltées indirectement ou par inadvertance. Les forces de l’ordre ont le droit de s’en servir pour réunir des informations sur des menaces étrangères ou des preuves de crime. Mais, d’après le tribunal, elles ont outrepassé ce cadre. Selon son état des lieux, transmis au FBI pour lui demander des réformes, un agent a même demandé des informations sur 19’000 donateurs ayant contribué à la campagne d’un candidat au Congrès. Ces révélations interviennent alors que la section 702 de la loi sur la surveillance extérieure (Fisa) – qui a créé ces programmes de surveillance – arrive à expiration et que de nombreux élus hésitent à la renouveler en l’état.”

“Brady Wilkins, a recently retired detective in Arizona with the attorney general’s office, said the DEA may have been testing the AirTag out due to failures in the kinds of GPS devices currently available to police, which “sometimes worked, sometimes didn’t.” An AirTag “can be hidden easier and is less likely to be found by suspects,” Wilkins told Forbes. “Suspects are getting better at countersurveillance techniques,” he added, and often uncovered heftier, more noticeable devices than the Apple tech. AirTags also appear to have more reliable connectivity than other devices.”

“The detective pleaded, explaining the « extremely exigent circumstance, » but the representative didn’t budge, saying it was company policy, sheriff’s office Deputy Chief Christopher Covelli said Friday. « The detective had to work out getting a credit card number and then call the representative back to pay the $150 and at that time the representative provided the GPS location of the vehicle, » Covelli said.”

“Dans le prolongement philosophique de Michel Foucault, qui avait pensé les sociétés de surveillance, Gilles Deleuze a examiné les sociétés de contrôle. C’était avant que la mutation numérique prenne toute sa puissance. Aujourd’hui, à l’heure de l’alliance des Intelligences Artificielles et des algorithmes, sous le règne des Big Data et des Gafam qui les produisent et les exploitent, le philosophe Philippe Huneman propose de parler de sociétés du profilage. C’est le titre de l’essai qu’il publie aux éditions Payot. Il est cette semaine l’invité de La Suite dans les Idées. Et sera rejoint en seconde partie par l’artiste et chercheur Samuel Bianchini.”
“Amazon is offering some users a whole $2 a month for only one teeny, tiny thing in return: that they route their traffic through an Amazon server so the company can keep track of which Amazon ads they’ve seen. It’s apparently been doing this for months. I’m not sure who needs to hear this, but you Should! Not! Do! That! ”

“Edmondson has no plans to make the device into a commercial product, but he says the design could easily be copied and reused by anyone with some technical knowledge. Many of the parts involved are easy to obtain or may be lying around the homes of people in tech communities.
Ultimately, he says, the tech community needs to take tech-enabled tracking and surveillance more seriously. “It was really kind of disheartening and depressing to look at the ratio of tools to spy on people versus tools to help you not get spied on,” he says, adding that a person close to him has been the victim of a stalker in the past. In the case of his clandestine friend in another government department, the anti-tracking device was useful. “It was really designed to help someone who came to me asking for help,” he says. Fortunately for Edmondson’s friend (and his source), they used it in the real world, and the device didn’t find anyone following them.”
