ShadowDragon is using data from sites like Etsy, Reddit, Tinder & Duolingo for U.S. government surveillance. Sign Mozilla’s petition to demand stronger privacy protections and block shady surveillance tools.
Looks like Mozilla is just relying on Someone Else’s (in this case, 404 Media’s) coverage of this
a new investigation by 404 Media has revealed that ShadowDragon, a U.S. government contractor, is exploiting publicly available data from websites and services like Etsy, Reddit, Tinder, and Duolingo — to fuel mass surveillance programs for U.S. government agencies like Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
And to my eyes it looks like they’re relying on Someone Else (you) to petition them, although to be fair they do say:
Mozilla will directly pressure 30 companies, chosen based on their size, the volume of user data they hold, the vulnerability of their users, and the value of their data to ShadowDragon — especially platforms where users share sensitive information, including personal communications, affiliations, political speech, geolocation, and immigration status.
… Which is good, whatever directly pressuring means.
Hilarious coming from them
not disagreeing with you but i couldnt find EFF talking about it lately unless i missed it
