I also now sneak apps on user’s phones that the user never installed or authorized to just to gather as much private data about the user as possible… hope user shurely does not mind right?
here is what GrapheneOS has to say about it: https://grapheneos.social/@GrapheneOS/113969399311251057
to at least partly mitigate these privacy problems that can result into severe problems try GrapheneOS (ironically only available for Google Pixel phones)
“Fitzgerald helped halt that. He co-organised company protests over Project Maven (Algorithmic Warfare Cross Functional Team) a deal Google did with the department of defence to develop AI for analysing drone footage, which Googlers feared could lead to automated targeting” (https://techcentral.co.za/google-has-made-a-dangerous-u-turn-on-ai/258907/)
“in 2018, Google employees, including Meredith Whittaker, staged walkouts protesting Google’s involvement in Project Maven.[9][10] Subsequently, Google did not renew the contract with Pentagon.[11]
She says: use signal not whatsapp (which belongs to meta facebook) (follow her on Mastodon)
“There are 6 steps in the kill chain: identify, locate, filter down to the lawful valid targets, prioritize, assign them to firing units, and fire.[13] Of these 6 steps, Maven can perform 4. A senior targeting officer estimates that with Maven, he could decide on 80 targets per hour, vs 30 targets per hour without Maven.[12]”
“In the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, Maven was used to display information on the Ukrainian will to resist Russian forces, and locations of Russian equipment.
In February 2024, Maven was used for narrowing targets for airstrikes in Iraq and Syria. It was also used for locating rocket launchers in Yemen and surface vessels in the Red Sea, some of which were destroyed in February 2024 according to CENTCOM.[12][14]” (Wiki)
better use other captchas:
Isn’t that “great”, NO Google is NOT DOING THE RIGHT THING, ok admittingly China and other high-tech nations are (probably) trying to do the same (anyone who can build smart phones + smart phone software (Israel?)) gather as much data about users as possible in order to let AI predict what users are thinking about this and that and are going to think tomorrow in order to manipulate them today, for geopolitical outcomes, if that’s not 1984 really don’t know what is.
Mrs Whittaker is doing the RIGHT THING, Google and others are not (new Google motto)
more possibly (more privacy enhancing?) firmware for Android devices: https://e.foundation/
