Jon S. von Tetzchner<p>So why is Microsoft insisting on pushing out a feature it is very clear users just do not want? What is the point of it? It just does not make any sense. Recall makes no sense. It is one of rather many functions that Microsoft wants to force people into using.</p><p>Personally I also do not want Copilot on my computer and the idea that there can be a key on my keyboard that I can press that will enable by mistake it is not what I would think most people want.</p><p>I believe that there should be a very clear line between what is on your computer and what is in the cloud. Forcing people to log into a Microsoft online account to use their computer is crazy. Having people mistakenly enabling OneDrive is another disaster. </p><p>I guess this is all a great opportunity for Linux.</p><p><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Microsoft" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Microsoft</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Spyware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Spyware</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Recall" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Recall</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Windows" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Windows</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Linux</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Computer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Computer</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cj3xjrj7v78o" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">bbc.com/news/articles/cj3xjrj7</span><span class="invisible">v78o</span></a></p>

Frankreich will die polizeiliche Überwachung von Handys und Laptops erlauben

"Nach einer geplanten Justizreform könnten Behörden Kamera, Mikrofon und GPS einzelner Mobilgeräte überwachen. Bürgerrechtsorganisationen warnen vor Missbrauch."

​​Die #Spyware #Pegasus hat die digitale #Überwachung revolutioniert.
Indem sie Sicherheitsbehörden ermöglicht, unbemerkt die volle Kontrolle über Smartphones zu übernehmen, hat sie die Jagd auf Kriminelle und Terroristen erleichtert.

Aber Recherchen einer internationalen Recherchekooperation, an der auch #dieZEIT beteiligt war, haben gezeigt:

Pegasus wurde massenhaft missbraucht, um Menschenrechte, Freiheit und Demokratie einzuschränken.

Die Spyware steht im Zusammenhang mit Morden, Wahlmanipulationen und Angriffen auf die #Pressefreiheit.

In sechs Folgen

erzählen Reporterinnen und Reporter der ZEIT die Geschichte der vielleicht gefährlichsten Software der Welt, ihrer Erfinder, ihrer Jäger und ihrer Opfer.

Dieser #Podcast wird produziert von Pool Artists.
