DEFCON 201 @defcon201@hostux.social

Glad to see so many abandoning WhatsApp in favour of services that have a greater respect for their privacy. Facebook:

Routinely tracks users and non-users across the internet for the purpose of harvesting their data.

Maintains shadow profiles on non-users.

Has stored users’ passwords and personal data insecurely, including in plain text.

Sells user data to other companies and government entities.

Routinely censors content for political reasons.

Ever heard of Panopticon design? All centralized systems in place that collects data follow the same design pattern.

Side view and top-view of modern Panopticon are included for reference.

Wenn ihr schon alle euch von #WhatsApp entfernt ist das sehr löblich aber deinstalliert nicht einfach nur die App sondern löscht vorher euer Account unter Einstellungen -> Konto in der App. Das selbe gilt übrigens auch für #Instagram & #Facebook.

Ansonsten gratuliere ich euch zu der Entscheidung die #FB Dienste nicht mehr zu nutzen.
