Privacy@lemmy.ml•Amazon’s Ring to partner with Flock, a network of AI cameras used by ICE, feds, and police
56·9 months agoKey point: "Flock users can request that Ring doorbell users share footage to help with “evidence collection and investigative work.”
This is not any kind of live link. It is just another way to request a specific video recording be shared by the user. The user has full control. Ring already has the same system in place on their “neighborhood” platform.
Do these work with Home Assistant? I’m not an Apple user. Anyone know if video can be stored locally instead of Apple servers?

Privacy@lemmy.ml•ICE, Secret Service, Navy All Had Access to Flock's Nationwide Network of Cameras
3·9 months agoThe Navy would be NCIS and they all have access because they are law enforcement agencies.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Does Google keep logs of my text messages(RCS)?
4·11 months agoExactly! If you don’t hold the encryption key (private), then it’s not really secure.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Seeking consumer privacy focused paypal alternative in the US, prefer FOSS if possible. Any suggestions?
7·2 years agoBest option I can think of is privacy.com
You can create virtual cards linked to your bank account and the transaction data is masked when processed by you bank. All my bank transactions show up as NSA Gift Shop. My bank doesn’t know where I’m spending my money. Yes you have to trust privacy.com…
Similar question: Android smart watches only connect to one phone. I like receiving silent notifications on my watch from my android phone. However I also have an Apple phone for work and would like a ring or some other small wearable (not a second watch) to receive notifications from my Apple phone.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Ring doorbell alternatives (only camera or plus mic and speakers) + Small Size?
42·2 years agoI use Eufy doorbells, locks, and cameras. I realize they are a Chinese company, but that is almost unavoidable until the US gets back to actually manufacturing tech.
The reason I like Eufy is the local storage and no required subscription fees.
First quick check of the app with classysharkExodus shows the following trackers built in:
- Google AdMob - “AdMob makes earning revenue easy with in-app ads, actionable insights, and powerful, easy-to-use tools that grow your app business”
- Google Firebase Analytics - This logs user language preference and user location
I think Graphene OS was commenting about them on Twitter. I’ll see if I can find the posts.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Privacy on Cars. How to stop data collection and transmission?
49·2 years agoWe need an online guide, based on make and model, on how to disable the transmission of this data.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Encrypted services Apple, Proton and Wire helped Spanish police identify activist | TechCrunch
381·2 years agoAs someone who has worked fraud and online investigations, and both written and served search warrants; it is not an option. A probable cause affidavit is presented to a judge and if the judge agrees there is sufficient probable cause, a search warrant is issued. This is an order by the judge and not optional. The judge can hold the company in contempt if they refuse to obey his/her order.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Encrypted services Apple, Proton and Wire helped Spanish police identify activist | TechCrunch
72·2 years ago“helped” is very misleading. Companies can’t refuse to provide information they have when served a search warrant / court order. These companies DID NOT choose to provide the info on their own.
Can I add it to my Amazon wish list?
Why would you want to??

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Reddit started blocking VPN users on old.reddit.com
12·2 years agoRegarding: “On Android you can use [Stealth] . That’s what I use for searches that pull up Reddit posts.”
The stealth protocol does not have anything to do with accessing individual sites or services. The purpose of stealth is when trying to estata VPN connection to a provider that does not allow VPNs. For example, a public wifi that blocks VPN connections or some countries that require ISPs to block VPN connections.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Are there services that can help you get your information taken down?
6·2 years agoReach out to the job sites directly and report these as fraudulent. Ask them to remove the resume postings.
Also consider making accounts for her on these sites, may make it easier to prevent future posting and to remove any that do appear.
Then, since it sounds like you are her lawyer. Subpoena these sites for information on account, email address, IP address used for the fraudulent posts.
Agreed, grab AntennaPod from the f-droid store.


Are you referring to “tap to pay” with your phone that uses NFC?
If so, you are out of luck. Only options (at least in the USA) are Apple, Google, and Samsung.
