android: even the damn keyboard wants to call home with 'anonymized snippets'.
Finding all the effing landmines in android is as much fun as win10. And apple. And any other damn thing a corporate finger gets into.

Interesting: The NAACP has returned a donation from Facebook and called for a daylong boycott of the social network Tuesday following revelations of how its platform was used to manipulate black voters in the 2016 presidential election.

They want a boycott of fb and twit Tues, Dec. 18th.

I'd like to do my part, but I boycott 24/7/365 so I doubt they'd notice my absent absence :-)

@rysiek In the UK there has been decades of people believing that CCTV keeps people safe. There's a kind of cultural belief in benevolent authority, bolstered by the BBC and tabloid newspapers. In times past people campaigned to have more CCTV installed in public places, and there has even been "talking CCTV" where government officials literally bark orders at people in the street.

Also there is the drip feed effect of gradually more detailed surveillance over time. If this type of technology had turned up a couple of decades ago then there would have been much more public opposition.

1/ If you don’t follow Brexit every day, here’s some advice. Let go of any illusions that this drama is about trade protocols, residency rights or the status of the Irish border. Brexit is the story of a proud former imperial power undergoing a mid-life crisis
