#privacy breach

[allthecanadianpolitics]

The federal privacy watchdog says Canada Post is breaking the law by gleaning information from the outsides of envelopes and packages to help build marketing lists that it rents to businesses.

The office of privacy commissioner Philippe Dufresne says information collected for the marketing program includes data about where individuals live and what type of online shopping they do, based on who sends them packages.

The commissioner found Canada Post had not obtained authorization from individuals to indirectly collect such personal information.

Privacy is a fundamental human right

Privacy is widely considered a fundamental human right. It is recognized and protected by various international and regional human rights treaties and declarations, such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. Privacy is essential for individuals to exercise their autonomy, maintain personal dignity, and freely express themselves without fear of surveillance or intrusion.

Privacy encompasses the right to control one's personal information, the right to be free from unwarranted surveillance, and the right to privacy in one's home, communications, and personal activities. It also includes the right to protect sensitive personal data from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure.

In an increasingly digital world, privacy concerns have become more prominent due to technological advancements and the vast amount of personal information being collected, stored, and shared. Protecting privacy in the digital age is crucial to safeguarding individuals' rights and preventing abuses of power.

Governments, organizations, and individuals have a responsibility to respect and uphold privacy rights. However, striking a balance between privacy and other societal interests, such as public safety or national security, can be a complex challenge that requires careful consideration and legal frameworks to ensure that privacy rights are not unjustifiably infringed upon.

It's obvious again, everything I post on any social media platform (and even some of what I don't post but have on my phone itself) is being hacked, broadcasted and exploited under my name by my enemies to other people and even other T.I.'s. This is why when people are all like, "You shouldn't be so much of an open book with your beliefs and opinions and personal life, respect your own privacy," I literally laugh out loud. There is no such thing as "privacy" when you're a T.I. Everything, even your very thoughts get broadcasted and exploited to everyone involved. It just becomes a matter of, who's gonna put it out there first? You or the ones spreading it all over the place?

I watched a YT video from another T.I. explaining how the Program is able to hijack your social media profiles and videos and spread it around everywhere under your name while maintaining the misperception that it is yourself doing it when it's not. It makes sense; the videos I make I publish only on YT. Yet I've seen references to the material I speak on in my videos, even relating to my personal life, on different social media platforms by people who identify as T.I.'s. So they're seeing it too, despite my only putting the vids on YT, under a different name on a different social media platform, mind you.

It's basically impersonation and a major privacy breach of course. For some strange reason, those in charge of my targeting believe they're actually "helping" me by spreading my advocation around. What they don't understand or simply refuse to acknowledge, they're STILL hijacking the control I should have over my own material, specifically the things I do NOT publish on social media. Unfortunately, no one can tell the difference.

But guess what? I still don't care. I still won't let it stop me. Forging straight ahead, full speed, regardless of who's 👀 You do what ya gotta do.

The Tim Hortons mobile ordering app violated the law by collecting vast amounts of location information from customers, an investigation by federal and provincial privacy watchdogs has found.

In a report released Wednesday, privacy commissioners say people who downloaded the Tim Hortons app had their movements tracked and recorded every few minutes, even when the app was not open on their phones.

The investigation came after National Post reporter James McLeod obtained data showing the Tim Hortons app on his phone had tracked his location more than 2,700 times in less than five months.

Your Discord server may be compromised

Hi folks,

As some of you may already be aware, a great many Discord servers have recently been revealed to have been compromised by a group of degenerates intent on stealing and selling private data.

These assholes join Discord servers, disguise bots as inactive users and just scrape all the content they can find. Both open servers and servers with invites findable on the web are targeted, but it's possible that smaller, private Discord servers may be affected.

I encourage all of you to check if you are a member of a server which might have been compromised. Why? Because the data these bastards collect is meant to build a database of users. A lot of people share data online that could easily see them profiled, doxxed or at worst, targeted. So you do NOT want your data ending up in their hands. And if it already is, you ought to know.

So how can you find out if a server has been compromised? Fairly simple:

On Discord, go to "User Settings" > Advanced and turn on "Developer mode".

2. Next, right click on the icon of the Discord server you want to check.

3. Click on Copy server ID. This is the unique numerical identifier of the server.

4. Go to https://spy.pet/servers and paste the server ID. This will tell you the current status of their spying:

the server is not in the database (best case scenario)

the server is in the database, but not yet infiltrated

the server in the database, and already compromised

5. Please contact the mods for the relevant server and let them know what you found. This is especially important for medium to small servers, who might want to implement new restrictions in the future: - Disable permanent, non-expiring invites; - Restrict discussion channels to users verified as humans by a mod; - etc.

However, be aware that on large, public server this is essentially useless. Just assume that everything you write on such a server has been and/or will be scrapped in the future, and act accordingly.

Stay safe out there, people.

Watching Mogswamp’s SOS episode one and like, the excitement over two tall flowers is so real.

I’ve been playing primarily superflat since I got access to Java and the literal first thing I did when I joined a server was steal a sunflower.

Anyone who uses LastPass should look into resetting all of their passwords saved in their vaults. Entire vaults were stolen during their recent breach.

CHANGE THOSE PASSWORDS, Y'ALL!
