Mother of god, choosing a topic for today's security/privacy blog post is hard!

I have too much choice 😅

Roll the dice

@404response 🎲

@johngreen much-security.nl :)

Too many choices*.

(Sorry)

@johngreen not following.

Right a quick little program that let's you input the topics and then it schedules them a few days/weeks apart.

Edit: Hell that sounds like something I should do to keep practicing for class lol

@johngreen Not following either...
@MojoJojo Thanks!

@linuxxx As already suggested, maybe a post about Google Analytics.

@Floydian That one is nearly fixed ;)

@Floydian Check your riot ;)

@Floydian What's your entire username? (including the part behind the colon)

@linuxxx check my latest rant if you want something funny

@calmyourtities Yup that irony haha

@johngreen It does look sexual haha. I also own the linu.xxx domain by the way.

Frankly, I find it funny :)

@johngreen No my blog is https://much-security.nl :)

I have the same problems when it comes to writing prompts.

You can do what I did. I wrote a random prompt generator in python so I wouldn't have to choose.

@linuxxx Spectre/meltdown, GDPR law (positives, shortcomings), AR & ambient computing...

That last one, I had a pretty heated argument with a family member recently when I requested she wouldn't take Christmas dinner pictures including me to post them on Instagram. Call me paranoid, I just don't like it.

Photos on FB/Instagram are going through ML, tagged by contents. People, scenery and brands, all graphed together in their database, using embedded tags in the image iptc profile.

Even without accounts, it links your face together with other instances of your face. Without specifically knowing who you are... yet. Your behavior has more value than your name.

Girl in the coffee shop takes a picture of the line of waiting people? They know you were there. Mom takes family photo? Location and relationships are stored.

Without permission, you are tagged and stored in a network of people and products.

Now Google comes with small always-on cameras for people to wear wherever they are...

@linuxxx I think this will be one of the biggest invasions of privacy this decade.

I don't have a problem with certain Google services, and *I* can choose to use them knowing fully that I'm providing them with personal data.

But soon, everyone will start gathering data about everyone, yelling "chill bro, I'm just filming this for my attention-whore-profile" as a defense.

You won't be able to pick who you share data with anymore, because others will do it for you.

@bittersweet this this this this this. Thank you. At least I'm not the only one.

@linuxxx how about the influence of GDPR on american companies like Google?

@wildebeest It'll either be ignored or not but fact is that programs like prism still exist so idk what'll change

Maybe write about how to avoid this 😃
