Found a @facebook #security & #privacy issue. When the app is open it actively uses the camera. I found a bug in the app that lets you see the camera open behind your feed. Note that I had the camera pointed at the carpet.
@CNET @WIRED @TechCrunch @ABC7 @CNN Anyone seen this??
@nytimes @nytimestech @CBSLA @CBSNews @technewsworld @PrivacyProject
@TheVergeNews @FoxNews @cnnbrk @NBCNews
Update, I have been able to confirm this across 5 different iPhones all running 13.2.2. I will note that iPhones running iOS 12 don't show the camera (not to say that it's not being used).
Anyone else seen this?
Thoughts?

This afternoon, Twitter and Facebook announced they identified and took down a significant disinformation campaign backed by the Chinese government and aimed at undermining the legitimacy of the protests in Hong Kong. Twitter removed 200,000+ accounts.

"As Twitter is blocked in PRC, many of these accounts accessed Twitter using VPNs. However, some accounts accessed Twitter from specific unblocked IP addresses originating in mainland China."
Twitter followed up this takedown with another major announcement: Twitter will no longer accept advertising from state-controlled (either financially or editorially) news media. Presumably, this should apply to RT, Sputnik, Xinhua, etc.

Thread: A new report from @PrivacyInt raises serious privacy concerns about the app @TrueCaller, which presents concrete risks for people in vulnerable situations, including journalists and human rights defenders: ow.ly/d44W50urXJD #Privacy #SafetyofJournalists
.@TrueCaller is especially popular in India and Sub-Saharan Africa. It enables its users to filter unwanted calls by identifying the number calling them from its database. Users can tag their contacts, adding them to TrueCaller’s database, under the name entered by the user.
However, as @PrivacyInt reports, the implications for people who end up in @TrueCaller's database raise worrying #privacy and #SafetyOfJournalists concerns. They examine the story of Chloe, an investigative journalist working for an international broadcast service.

Some of you might be aware; I have been on a 4 year quest to build a smarthome. I am using and sometimes hacking existing solutions in most cases. I found some glaring lapses of security and privacy. A thread on @Xiaomi/@XiaomiIndia #security #privacy #iot @internetofshit
First up; my favourite robot which keeps my home clean. The Roborock S55 uses SLAM technology with cameras & sensors to generate a model of the house. It cleans really well & it leaks even better as it doesn't use HTTPS to communicate. It misses its home and keeps calling back!
Next up; one of the cheapest smart cameras in the market. The Xiaomi XiaoFang WiFi camera does 1080p video and costs less than Rs. 1200. I have many around the house for security purposes. It is a great oxymoron as its a security device with no security.

Here's someone who's highly engaged in politics, news and society but didn't know about #MyHROptOut until this morning.

If you're in media and wondering if this needs more coverage, here's your answer. #MyHealthRecord #Privacy
Opting out doesn't appear to be going well for people so far. I've seen multiple reports of long wait times on the phone and web server crashes.

I've you're planning to opt out, I'd suggest maybe not doing it today, but definitely not waiting too long.

#MyHealthRecord #Privacy
For the record, I've gone back and forward on opting out myself.

As a journalist with strong interests in tech and privacy, I really want to see the system for myself. Kick its tyres and experience its flaws and limitations personally. But ...
