The latest version of Firefox comes with "total cookie protection" built in. What does that mean? blog.mozilla.org/security/2021/…
@EFF
Normally, third-party trackers use cookies to identify you across different websites, allowing them to build invasive behavioral profiles. Firefox's new feature prevents trackers from seeing the same identifier on different sites, which makes it much harder to track you.
@EFF
Firefox's Enhanced Tracking Protection already blocked cookies for most known trackers. Total cookie protection will prevent anyone - even new or obscure trackers - from using cookies to follow you around.
@EFF
Want even more protection? EFF's Privacy Badger extension learns about trackers, then blocks them outright. In Chrome and Firefox, Privacy Badger protects you from cookie tracking as well as more unconventional privacy threats. eff.org/pb

For the first time, Twitter has applied its policy on "hateful" conduct against the LGBT community to a Turkish politician. This decision comes in the midst of discussions around Turkish draconian Social Media Law. 1/ reuters.com/article/turkey…
Turkey’s government has been working to control foreign social media platforms for many years. Under the new Social Media Law, failure to appoint a local representative leads to stiff fines, advertisement ban, and throttling of the provider’s bandwidth. 2/

The Turkish Internet Law and amendments require large platforms to appoint a local representative, localize their data, and speed up the removal of content on-demand from the Turkish government. 3/ eff.org/deeplinks/2020…

Ten years ago today, Tunisian street vendor Mohamed Bouazizi set himself on fire in protest over injustice, igniting uprisings that became the Arab Spring movement. Tech platforms took credit at the time, but continue to silence voices in the region. eff.org/deeplinks/2020…
EFF joins dozens of human rights and civil liberties organizations in calling on Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube to end the arbitrary censorship of communities across the region, which has become dangerously common. eff.org/deeplinks/2020…
Concrete steps must be taken to ensure that platforms promote human rights. It is not enough to provide lip service to the importance of connecting people. eff.org/deeplinks/2020…

El quinto informe anual ¿Quem Defende Seus Dados? de @InternetLabbr identifica las medidas que las telcos deben tomar para proteger la privacidad y la protección de datos en Brasil. /1
eff.org/es/deeplinks/2…
El informe publicado por @InternetLabbr evalúa a las telcos en políticas de protección de datos, pautas de aplicación de la ley, defensa de usuarios en cortes y debates políticos y notificación a los usuarios. /2 quemdefendeseusdados.org.br/en/
En claro contraste con la versión 2016 del informe de @InternetLabbr, la mitad de las telcos (Claro, NET, TIM y Algar) mejoran en la protección de datos esté 2020, impulsados principalmente por la nueva ley de protección de datos de Brasil. /3
