Google wants you to use their cloud storage to keep your sensitive data and photos, because they claim it's "secure" and "encrypted".
Our pinned tweet says otherwise.
Life is a collection of milestones: the final draft of your thesis, the family vacation video, the handwritten recipe from Grandma.
These aren't just files; they're your history.
Google Drive ensures life's most precious moments are securely saved, encrypted, and accessible 🛡️ goo.gle/4hIb2qd

Microsoft OneDrive is rolling out AI face recognition for your photos.
But you can turn it off, right? Well, you CAN, but only “three times a year,” and Microsoft hasn’t clarified what that actually means.

Did you know the entirety of Wikipedia (text only) is less than 30GB?
Wikipedia lost its High Court challenge, leaving the door open for Ofcom to demand that the site collect ID from users in the UK, or to restrict access.

We thought Google hit rock bottom with #privacy. Its new beta feature on Google Files for #Android called “Smart Search" is the trap door.
This creepy new feature on by default & scans every file on your phone. Why is this bad? Because it could potentially ruin your life. (1/3)

Today, much of our tech does the opposite, collecting data we didn’t agree to share, designing systems that keep us dependent, and making us “rent” features we once owned.
This trend is a visible way for people to say: we want technology that works for us, not against us.

Say it louder for those who weren't paying attention.
When you share a photo with your friends, your intent is to share it with your friends. Not app developers, service providers, data brokers, hackers, or governments.
It's important we fight for a world where you're still allowed to make that choice.
