We live in a time where privacy is something we actually have to work to enjoy. Achieving a level of privacy we once had takes work, and you need to start thinking beyond a single desktop, laptop, tablet, or phone -- all the way to your LAN. Also: Beware the 'Hi, how are you?' text. It's a scam - here's how it works Before I scare you all off, understand that this begins on the desktop and works its way out to the LAN.
The groups argued that KlammereFyr removed the artistic context and immorally sexualized actors, sometimes by cropping scenes or "changing the lighting to accentuate certain features," TorrentFreak reported. To groups, it seemed clear that KlammereFyr was violating a rarely tested part of copyright law that protects artists' "integrity" by shielding their "moral rights." In Denmark, the "right of integrity means that even in cases where you are allowed to make use of a work, you are not allowed to change it

The house is positioned on the site with the aim of responding in a relatively simple way to two central questions: How can it capture a panoramic view of the horizon, which also brings us the presence of the sea? How can it embrace outdoor spaces that simultaneously protect the residents' privacy from neighbors' views and ensure comfort on days of strong wind?
When you married into your husband's family, they welcomed you as one of their own. If I read your letter correctly, they view you as a family member, and your family as blended into their own. Because you need more privacy and boundaries than you have been able to establish, you may need your husband to help you get the message across in a way they can accept without becoming offended.
When I was a teenager, I arrived at a friend's house and she accidentally texted me instead of her then boyfriend. "Saoirse is here," she wrote, "we're heading to the shop, OK?" You can imagine my bewilderment when I received the text, and again when I asked if she had meant to send it to her dad or something, and was told that no, her boyfriend just likes to know where she is to make sure she's safe.
Scanner encryption, the process of shifting officers and dispatch communication to a private channel, will align the city's police department with other law enforcement offices in the East Bay that began encrypting their feeds in October. Berkeley's decision to fully encrypt has been influenced by multiple factors. A 2020 memo by former Attorney General Xavier Becerra called on agencies to protect peoples' sensitive identifiable information like their names, addresses, birthdates and social security numbers from scanner traffic that was available to the public.
Discord is expanding the safety controls parents and guardians have access to in its Family Center, including increased visibility of their teens' activity, allowing guardians to control sensitive content filtering and data privacy settings, and giving them more control over who can DM their teens. New Social Permissions toggles will allow guardians to choose whether their teens can receive direct messages only from friends or from anyone who's a member of the same servers as them. However, Discord is still promising teens that, "As always, guardians can't see the content of the messages you send."
It will be based on two government-built systems - Gov.uk One Login and Gov.uk Wallet. One Login is a single account for accessing public services online, which the government says more than 12 million people have already signed up to. By this time next year that might be as many as 20 million, as people registering as company directors will have to verify their identity through One Login from 18 November.
"R unpacking items from a box," read one notification from the Nest camera on a shelf in the kitchen. "Jenni cuts a pie / B walks into the kitchen, washes dishes in the sink / Jenni gets a drink from the refrigerator," it continued. Sometimes, the alerts sounded like the start of a joke, "A dog, a person, and two cats walk into the room / Two chickens walk across the patio."
On September 3, Illinois prison officials moved - by emergency rule - to replace most physical mail with scanned copies, though a key legislative panel has already pushed back. At the same time, New York is installing mail scanners in prisons, raising alarms about privacy and attorney-client privilege. Texas has already shifted to " digital mail," where letters are scanned and delivered on tablets or as photocopies. Though billed as a way to reduce contraband, these "paperless" policies constrict how people read, write, and organize behind prison walls.
Your next video call might include an invisible polygraph examiner. Google and competitors are racing to deploy AI systems that promise to catch lies through voice patterns, facial microexpressions, and language analysis. The pitch sounds compelling: revolutionary accuracy in detecting deception, finally replacing those notoriously unreliable polygraph machines. The reality is more sobering. Peer-reviewed research consistently shows multimodal AI lie detection maxing out around 75-79% accuracy in controlled settings-impressive, but nowhere near the bold marketing claims circulating in tech circles.
At the top of many people's privacy concerns is what data is being gathered about them as they browse the web. That information creates a profile of a person's interests that is used by a variety of companies to target ads. Windows 11 does this with the use of an advertising ID. The ID doesn't just gather information about you when you browse the web, but also when you use Windows 11 apps.
Not all pens are created equal. Some just write, but MedPen listens, learns, and secures your conversations. This Kickstarter sensation is redefining what it means to take notes, offering a tool that's as concerned with your privacy as it is with your productivity. It proposes a future where our most basic analog tools are imbued with smart, discreet capabilities, yet it does so with a refreshing focus on user control.
Several months after AI-powered age verification rolled out to YouTube, age checks are hitting another Google service. Over the past several days, users have spotted a new age verification system appearing on the Google Play Store. When attempting to download certain apps, users are greeted with a verification pop-up asking to confirm their age. According to reports from people who have already seen this pop-up, you aren't able to download many apps until this is done.
Samsung is actually doing it: The company is launching ads on its Family Hub smart refrigerators. The fridges have a large display that typically shows stuff like time, the weather, camera streams, and family photos. They are being updated with a new design, smarter AI, and a new widget for the Cover screen that will show news, weather forecasts, and - fanfare - "curated advertisements."
"[They] live under the constant gaze of DAS surveillance as the NYPD mounted a box with two cameras directly outside their home, aimed at their living room and bedroom windows," the lawsuit states. "The cameras' presence has transformed what should be their place of safety into a space of anxiety. They have covered their windows with foil to block the cameras' view, depriving themselves of sunlight and the simple enjoyment of looking outside."
Nearly two dozen Michigan House Republicans have signed on to a resolution calling for Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson to share the state's complete voter rolls with the Trump administration, without redactions of potentially sensitive identifying information. Michigan is one of several states being sued by the U.S. Justice Department over their refusal to share unredacted voter rolls in response to requests from the agency.
At its core, EmbeddingGemma serves as a text embedding model. It translates text, such as notes, emails, or documents, into specialized numerical codes called vectors. These vectors represent the meaning of the text in a high-dimensional space, allowing devices to grasp context rather than just matching keywords. This fundamental capability enables much more intelligent and helpful search, organization, and other AI functionalities, powering generative AI experiences directly on user hardware.
If you've been following the wave of age-gating laws sweeping across the country and , you've probably noticed that lawmakers, tech companies, and advocates all seem to be using different terms for what sounds like the same thing. Age verification, age assurance, age estimation, age gating-they get thrown around interchangeably, but they technically mean different things. And those differences matter a lot when we're talking about your rights, your privacy, your data, and who gets to access information online.
In England's schools, children are not only pupils but also data subjects. From the moment they are born, a digital record begins to take shape - one that will follow them through nursery, primary school, secondary education, and in many cases well into adulthood. What was once a matter of paper registers and filing cabinets has become a complex infrastructure of digital systems, databases, and analytics tools, managed by both the state and private companies, for AI, surveillance, and more.
Kids watch a lot of YouTube. Google's keenly aware of that: It offers a version of the YouTube app that's explicitly made for children's content in YouTube Kids, and earlier this year, rolled out a controversial AI-based age estimation system to automatically flag accounts that may be used by minors. These measures are meant in part to help Google avoid legal trouble - like a 2019 class-action suit filed in California accusing Google and YouTube of violating privacy laws by collecting information about minors
You may be taking on too much responsibility for S and T's relationship dynamics. If a simple request about feeling secure in the place where you're sleeping hurts her or drives a wedge in her marriage, that's largely her responsibility. I don't write this to be callous. But think of what you're actually asking: You don't want to be filmed while you sleep. This is not unreasonable in the least.
Some grocery stores owned by Sobeys Inc. are the latest Toronto stores to test body-worn cameras. In a statement, the retailer confirmed it's piloting the project after the bodycams were spotted on FreshCo cashiers in a store located at Sherbourne and Isabella streets. The cameras are being used to combat harassment and assault directed toward employees and to prevent shoplifting and other crimes, Sobeys spokesperson Caitlin Gray said.
