@camless You're welcome. And if people have children or relatives who may not know about this, you may want to check for them and opt them out of nationalpublicdata.com, too (see nationalpublicdata.com/optout.).

Then also help them create security freezes.

Parents of young children: Check to make sure your kids' info isn't in the nationalpublicdata.com site. Opt them out if they are. Then:

Your kids should not have a credit report unless you authorized them to use a credit card or something. But they may also have a credit report if their identity info was obtained and misused.

Check to see if they have a credit report by contacting the major credit reporting firms. You may have to mail the request for Equifax, but you should be able to check online for Experian and TransUnion .

To be proactive: freeze your young child's credit report.

Heads up, folks:

Michael Kan reports that National Public Data is back under new owners: pcmag.com/news/site-behind-maj

Here is the direct link to their opt-out page instructions:
nationalpublicdata.com/optout.

I had opted out previously after their humongous #databreach last year. When I checked my name now, it did not find my profile, so if you opted out before, you may still be opted out, but better safe than sorry: check and opt-out if needed.

Ik volg momenteel de tips van @cyberlyra met haar #optoutproject (optoutproject.net/) en de cyber-cleanse. Als het me lukt, wil ik hier af en toe over mijn ervaringen tooten.
Maar ben daarnaast ook enthousiast geworden over haar Tech Reclaimers beweging. Check vooral deze Peertube-video van haar talk op de Fedicon begin deze maand: spectra.video/w/wAAtEn15GZmkDh en reclaimcontrol.tech/.

Welke groepen in NL zijn hier al mee bezig? Naast @waag en @marleenstikker ?

The AI opt-out conundrum

"Its like going to the market, deciding not to buy tomatoes, and the tomato seller following you around for years trying desperately to change your mind: slipping tomatoes into your food, throwing them at you in the street, sneaking them into your bed while you sleep."

by barbwritesstuff ® The unable to opt out thing is what makes this whole situation feel so Bizzaro world to me. I've had to install extensions to block Al, changed my word processor to get rid of Al, uninstalled Al that randomly appeared on my phone (twice!), and yet I'm still constantly batting away bots, begging me for prompts. Why? If your product is so brilliant and inevitable why is it non-negotiable? Its like going to the market, deciding not to buy tomatoes, and the tomato seller following you around for years trying desperately to change your mind: slipping tomatoes into your food, throwing them at you in the street, sneaking them into your bed while you sleep. Its weird. And it's also depressing, because it's not tomatoes, it's a machine that is nuking our environment to wordily explain one maybe right thing, one definitely wrong thing, and one thing which is just the first thing again, but with synonyms.

Vanaf nu kan AI op WhatsApp groepsberichten openen, telefoonnummers zien en persoonlijke informatie van je telefoon ophalen. Ook in privéchats.

"Dat kan je simpel voorkomen door één knopje in de privacyinstellingen om te zetten."

Ja, dat is precies het probleem. Standaard geen #privacy.

Als je standaard iets wordt opgedrongen, en je moet moeite doen om er vanaf te komen of het uit te zetten, heet dat #optout.

rtl.nl/nieuws/binnenland/artik

Bevrijd jezelf. Kies bijvoorbeeld #matrix of #signal.

Text van de #AI van #Whatsapp: Ja, ik kan de hele conversatie lezen, inclusief de berichten die zijn verzonden voordat je me tagde. Ik kan contextuele informatie gebruiken om mijn reacties aan te passen aan de conversaties. Dus, als je me tagt in een gesprek, kan ik de hele conversatie lezen en reageren op basis daarvan!

So Naomi Brockwell TV blew my mind about how are smart TVs are spying on us with Automatic Content Recognition and other advertising profile scripts. Yikes!

I don’t have the resources to switch to a more secure streaming device yet (I’m gonna build one with mini PC running LibreELEC with Kodi hopefully).

In the meantime, I setup a Pi-Hole on an old Raspberry Pi 3B I had laying around last night to block as many ads and outgoing unwanted scripts as I could.
pi-hole.net/

It is working great from what I tell! Even removed the ads from my Roku TV home pages lol! I’m sure some stuff is getting through, but at least it’s minimal.

Here is the PiHole install video I watched from Micro Center, but I also added SSH via private/public keys too. How to Block Ads Using a Pi-Hole With A Raspberry Pi
