The latest from me: A recent breech of McDonald’s hiring system shows how what companies consider to be security issues, people may experience as privacy issues, as well

Europa skal tage kontrollen over egne data, egen infrastruktur og egne teknologier.
Ikke i morgen, men nu.
Og Danmark bør gå forrest. Ikke gemme sig bag “alle de andre gør det jo også”.

New from me: Not Lovin' It: How Security Impacts Privacy
A recent breech of McDonald's hiring system shows how what companies consider to be security issues, people may experience as privacy issues, as well

Time for an update: I have essentially *completed* my book on privacy by design for @rosenfeldmedia.com! There's more to be done (a foreword, blurbs, a cover debut, whatnot), but it's on track to be published later this year. Check the link below for more info and updates!

Good illustration of #PrivacyByDesign effect in #Apple #Watches.
While #WatchOS keeps your personal data on-device and away from third parties, and Apple (although a single code update can change that) -- it doesn't stop your medical insurer or employer demanding access https://bsky.app/profile/hypervisible.bsky.social/post/3ltcbqqai222b
Something I miss in the #Pixelfed & #Mastodon software: the possibility to have lists (like the circles in Google+) and show some content really only for some close friends.
I don't wanna show everything to all and have more privacy. So I still need to send everything via Signal and co.
i have no idea if #misskey写真部 , #lemmy or any other #fediverse software has that feature.

New from me: What’s Up With WhatsApp?
Meta’s instant messaging app is catching heat lately from governments and privacy advocates, as well

Oops… Let’s Encrypt stops sending certificate expiry emails to cut costs and boost user privacy. Admins must now rely on automation and monitoring tools.

Other requirements:

Hoping this already exists....

"If we do not stand firm to defend our rights, even when it's inconvenient to do, we might soon lose them."

Despite growing concerns, Dutch government organizations continue to rely on U.S. cloud providers for critical services—including email.
This isn’t just a question of convenience. It’s a structural risk.
It’s time for our government to lead by example. Choose sovereignty. Choose European alternatives. Choose a digital infrastructure we actually control.
We offer sovereign email solutions. GDPR by design. Ready for NIS2.
New from me: Google’s Eroding Sandbox
Google just stepped away from plans to let users nuke third-party tracking cookies. However flawed the plan, it’s frustrating to see potential advances for users’ privacy essentially evaporate. #privacy #privacybydesign

@maxleibman Your device, your rules. SantaOS doesn’t ask for permissions—it defaults to privacy.
No trackers. No forced sign-ups. No data harvesting. Just an OS that respects “No” as a full sentence.
With Tor, I2P, and Freenet pre-installed, your traffic stays anonymous. No “Later,” no loopholes—just encrypted resistance to surveillance.
#PrivacyByDesign means you never have to beg for basic respect.
→ Switch to a system that listens.

AI needs data. Privacy needs limits.
Consent, minimisation, and purpose limitations hold up in the age of LLMs and foundation models?
When data is fuel, who controls the pipeline?
DNS attacks are not just legacy threats – they’re evolving.
In my new article series, I explore modern DNS attack vectors like cache poisoning, tunneling, hijacking & spoofing – and how we as developers can defend at the protocol edge.
A must-read if you're building Java-based backend systems or securing internal services.
Prima als bedrijven die grondrechten van burgers schenden de EU verlaten. Wat we nodig hebben zijn bedrijven die zich houden aan #humanrightsbydesign en aan #privacybydesign
@briankrebs I work in #dataprivacy and find myself having similar thoughts: why am I working so hard to implement #dataminimization and #privacybydesign principles for my organization when these huge federal data stores probably containing all that information and more are being brazenly looted?
Warum ist Datenschutz wichtig?
- Schützt die Privatsphäre 
- Stärkt Grund- und Menschenrechte 
- Fördert Vertrauen in digitale Technologien 
Als Research Institute setzen wir uns dafür ein, dass Datenschutz nicht nur eine Verpflichtung, sondern ein Grundprinzip in der digitalen Welt bleibt. Wir helfen Organisationen, Unternehmen und Institutionen dabei, Privacy by Design in ihre Systeme zu integrieren.
