“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.”

You deserve more than $2 for running your phone’s data through Amazon

“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! ”

This Anti-Tracking Tool Checks If You’re Being Followed

“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.”

Avortement: une société de collecte de données assignée en justice par le gouvernement américain

21 septembre 2022 /

“La FTC reproche à Kochava de vendre des données de géolocalisation qui permettent de suivre les déplacements d’une personne, entre autres «vers et depuis des endroits sensibles», a expliqué le régulateur dans un communiqué de presse. La FTC mentionne ainsi des cliniques pratiquant l’interruption volontaire de grossesse (IVG), mais aussi des lieux de culte, des centres d’hébergement pour sans-abri ou victimes de violences conjugales, ainsi que des centres de traitement des addictions. Les données vendues par Kochava, qui concernent des «centaines de milliers» de téléphones portables, selon l’Agence, ne comprennent pas les identités des propriétaires de ces smartphones. Mais il est possible de les retrouver en opérant des croisements, notamment avec les adresses où les téléphones mobiles se trouvent la nuit et le nom des propriétaires de ces logements.”

« The facial recognition company Clearview AI is telling investors it is on track to have 100 billion facial photos in its database within a year, enough to ensure “almost everyone in the world will be identifiable,” according to a financial presentation from December obtained by The Washington Post.

And the company wants to expand beyond scanning faces for the police, saying in the presentation that it could monitor “gig economy” workers and is researching a number of new technologies that could identify someone based on how they walk, detect their location from a photo or scan their fingerprints from afar ».

“We’ve become aware that individuals can receive unwanted tracking alerts for benign reasons, such as when borrowing someone’s keys with an AirTag attached, or when traveling in a car with a family member’s AirPods left inside. We also have seen reports of bad actors attempting to misuse AirTag for malicious or criminal purposes. Apple has been working closely with various safety groups and law enforcement agencies. Through our own evaluations and these discussions, we have identified even more ways we can update AirTag safety warnings and help guard against further unwanted tracking.”

We need to talk about how Apple is normalising surveillance

15 octobre 2021 /

“When it comes to privacy, iOS arguably has a better reputation among consumers than Android, as does Siri vs Alexa, and Safari vs Chrome. But that doesn’t give Apple permission to track our lived experience at all times with its microphones, cameras and sensors. Apple’s groundbreaking devices are pushing the limits of what technology companies can track, and that is not good news for privacy. Thanks to Apple, physical shops can track us through our phones, hackers can potentially access our most sensitive health and biometric details, and now it has developed a technology that can scan content that was supposed to be encrypted. Apple has been playing two games at once – protecting privacy and developing surveillance tools – while only acknowledging the former.”

96% of US users opt out of app tracking in iOS 14.5, analytics find | Ars Technica

10 mai 2021 /

The Facebook iPhone app asks for permission to track the user in this early mock-up of the prompt made by Apple.

“It seems that in the United States, at least, app developers and advertisers who rely on targeted mobile advertising for revenue are seeing their worst fears realized: Analytics data published this week suggests that US users choose to opt out of tracking 96 percent of the time in the wake of iOS 14.5.”

Mozilla Foundation – Apple’s anti-tracking plans for iPhone

15 décembre 2020 /

“In 2019, Mozilla called on Apple to increase user privacy by automatically resetting the Identifier for Advertisers (IDFA) on iPhones. The IDFA lets advertisers track the actions users take when they use apps – kind of like a salesperson that follows you from store to store while you shop, recording every item you look at. Creepy, right?
Early 2020, Apple went even further than what Mozilla supporters had asked for when it announced that it will give consumers the option to opt-out of tracking in each app, essentially turning off IDFA and giving millions of consumers more privacy online. Apple’s announcement also made a loud statement: mass data collection and invasive advertising don’t have to be the norm online.
Unfortunately, as you might imagine, a lot of advertisers, notably Facebook, were not happy with Apple. Facebook, which uses IDFA to track users’ activity across different apps and match them to advertising profiles, says that its advertising partners will be hit hard by this change.”
