Tried the GDPR data export from Spotify. By default, you get like 6 JSON files with almost nothing. After many emails and complaining and a month of waiting, I got a 250MB archive with basically EVERY INTERACTION I ever did with any Spotify client, all my searches. Everything.

@pettter Those can definitely be effective, but that's not really intentional anti-surveillance design.

@requiem Really, you need to find a technique that confuses an algorithm or neural network but not a human. So far that seems doable in a variety of cases.

@requiem It seems like a lot of rather simple techniques have been working in HK.

I'd really be interested to see more of this type of anti-surveillance design. Anyone in the #fediverse or #beyond have any examples?

Former Ontario privacy commissioner @[email protected] says “it’s atrocious” that commissioners can’t do more to enforce Canada’s privacy laws — by issuing fines against AggregateIQ or Facebook, for example. https://buff.ly/33AdM1h

I've always felt that ASD's Lifeforce has more than it's fair share of criticism. As much as I love the classic "effect reel" demos, it really is a beautiful demo from beginning to end.

The State Police did this in secret. The only reason this article exists is that we at @[email protected] did public records requests to departments seeking info about their robotics programs. We probably never would have known. Seems fine tho. https://twitter.com/allyjarmanning/status/1198942567728988162
