  Its funny, a screenshot every 5 minutes that might be reviewed later on if needed sounds less intrusive than western efforts like google, amazon, etc.

      Eh, they didn’t exactly paint it in a good light. It’s more like not laughing too much at the ordinary NK citizen’s big brother plight while the rest of us are being monitored constantly and much more real time.

      The two situations are not the same, but the parallels show his we all deal with this crap in our own ways.

    Tracking someone’s history through screenshots sounds like a fucking nightmare for the person doing the searching.

    It’s evil, but also a PITA for the analyst.

  Yes, because here in the capitalist USA I am free to choose what phone and carrier I use, and what OS and software my phone have on them. The free market decided that I should have access to bootloader unlockable phones with open source OS and zero shitty Facebook apps spying on me.

    Tell me you are blind to privilege without telling me you are blind to privilege…

    I get what you are saying but claiming that Capitalism and the Free Market got you there is laughable.

    A shit ton of people in the USA do not actually have a choice in carrier and choice of phone seriously depends on how rich you are, the spread is wide!

    More importantly, how many people do you think have the tech knowledge (or access to pay) to get an open source OS in their phones?

  That’s why laws like the GDPR exist to prevent this bullshit.

    GDPR

    Does not exist in Murica

    • Vinstaal0@feddit.nl ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      But it does in the EU and similar laws exist in other countries. I can do nothing about the corruption in the states

      Ps. it does exist in Amerika

      Not completely, but the Brussels effect still applies to some degree.

    GDPR does not prevent foreign intelligence agencies from profiling you

    • Vinstaal0@feddit.nl ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      Do you have a link to what foreign intelligence agencies you mean cause than I am going to use my right to be forgotten. Cause yea that will work.

        Any SIGINT agency that deals with foreign intelligence is likely to have most of your deepest darkest secrets. The ones with most media coverage are NSA and GCHQ. Looking it up isn’t likely to yield very insightful results, other than perhaps some queer documents leaked by Snowden
