I'm curious to know about how the EU will handle 'the Spanish position with Huawei'. A lot of sensitive data is on Huawei servers already, like Social Security data, wiretapping data (SITEL), Intelligence Services data, etc.
I use a ubports phone as a daily driver, and in my experience the main showstopper is all those banks, and even all those public institutions, that make mandatory to be a Google or Apple client to deal with them.
So I also need to use another phone, running VollaOS, to handle my online payments but I'm afraid Google will close this option with their latest policies. We'll see.
I didn't see Wire link to the actual ISD report or peer-reviewed paper, instead of say what the report found without showing me the report so I can read it myself. It's a red flag in my book.
That's not a red flag, almost all news sites are like that now, unfortunately. It's due to the ad revenue model, they don't want you to click away. Pick some reputable news sources you can think of and see if they link their primary sources - it won't be many.
Related, Jonathan Fink (Silicon Curtain - Silicon Wafers) talked about this issue some days ago but focused on his own experience on X https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZL1_ow8s0rY
Right, that's absolutely disgusting. The only reason that would be somewhat OK is if that's part of the game, and you can hack it to get tokens for free.
'Cyberpsychology: Journal of Psychosocial Research on Cyberspace is a diamond open access, online, peer-reviewed scholarly journal published by Masaryk University.'
Digital violence has many faces and AI feeds the beast. Using AI to create sexualized deepfakes of people, against their consent, is one horrifying part of this. AlgorithmWatch is trying to locate such non-consensual sexualization tools (NSTs, as we call them) − with the help of partners and supporters like you − and contain their spread on social media and app stores.
You can say "the elites" in Telefonica case, because is heavily under the Spanish socialist party control.
Pedro Sanchez forced a public investment (€1134 billion) into that company using the SEPI so he can control Telefonica. Then he changed Telefonica president with a socialist pawn, inserted many socialist "elite" into the company, and as a cherry on top, he embedded Huawei inside Telefonica core systems.
Listen, kids, the higher you get into politics, the faster the textbooks (Marx, Smith, and antything in between) get tossed out of a window and drugs, prostitutes and hard power it's what matters.
Better if you don't know how actual politics work, because it that would be pure Realpolitiks. Imagine an 1984 and a Brave New World merded and psychos on top keeping the illusion because of raw power. You have that today.
The closest against to that would be the EFF, Richard Stallman, and hardcore groups and humanists working maybe for pride, but helping the rest of the society as the main social law (Golden Rule).
But we are not ready. We have a 'hardware' from Neolitics and a 'software' from the Space Era... no wonder the are wars and hardcore collisions between ideologies...
