#Google will block Sideloading of unverified #Android Apps
Android's open nature set it apart from the iPhone as the era of touchscreen smartphones began nearly two decades ago. Little by little, Google has traded some of that openness for security, and its next initiative could make the biggest concessions yet in the name of blocking bad apps.

This is pretty great if it works: Zenni Optical can add a privacy coating to their lenses to prevent facial recognition data collection/tracking.
From their site:
“Built-In Privacy
Proprietary pink sheen coating reflects infrared light to disrupt unwanted tracking—upgrade any lens.
Our proprietary anti-infrared coating offers up to 80% more near-infrared protection than standard lenses, helping disrupt unwanted facial tracking. That subtle pink sheen? It’s the visible signal of invisible protection. Plus, it reduces glare, resists scratches, and defends against the sun’s infrared rays for added comfort and clarity.”
Step 1: Assemble a great team
Step 2: Privacy accessible to everyone
Step 3: Non-profit

Thank you to our incredible community for your support, we couldn't be here without you
If you commute by car, #police #algorithms can predict what time you’ll likely head home on any given Wednesday & what roads you’ll take to get there. The city’s computers are constantly passively compiling this information in case it is of use to them later, a version of the film [book, TYVM] “Minority Report” made real.
The #surveillance has reached such a scale that it has begun to erode a large number of people’s basic #CivilRights.
The results amount to a digital time machine that not only makes our past constantly available to #LawEnforcement officers but also can provide them with predictions about our futures.
Traces of this system have surfaced regularly in news reports for years. Journalists at multiple outlets have reported the #NYPD’s intrusive #surveillance on peaceful #protests, popular hip-hop shows & kids across the city, all in the name of fighting crime before it occurs.
#NYC’s #police force has spent >$3 billion amassing #information that reveals where you have been, whom you have interacted with & what you have said, thought & believed. Unlike previous #surveillance methods, new digital tools allow #LawEnforcement agencies to conduct surveillance persistently, universally, at an unimaginable scale. They can do so with no special #permission, no #oversight & no advance planning.
