**[The requisition of garbage collectors began in Paris following the mobilization against the pension reform. After a refusal from the mayor of Paris, we learned in the press that the prefect of Paris has retrieved the contact details of the agents to requisition them. The method raises questions.](https://blog.davidlibeau.fr/le-prefet-a-fait-valoir-la-substitution-pour-obtenir-les-donnees-personnelles-des-eboueurs-de-paris/)** (Automatic translation) [@privacy](https://lemmy.ml/c/privacy) > In addition to the conditions of urgency and breach of good order or health, it is clearly specified that an order is required to requisition any goods or services . In the case of the garbage collectors in Paris, it is their personal data that has been transmitted to the prefecture. The problem is that it seems difficult to qualify the list of service agents as a good. In any case, this raises questions. > > Recently the CNIL recalled the rules for the sale of files when Camaieu was put up for sale. The CNIL specified for example that this was possible but that informing people was important. > > In the case of garbage collectors, the situation is all the more complex as there was no requisition order until after the transmission of the list of 4000 agents of the city of Paris. The provisions of the General Code of Local Authorities on requisition have not been updated since the GDPR and seem quite obsolete. > > If we were in the context of a requisition, the basis of lawfulness of the mayor of Paris would probably have been the legal obligation. However, a recital of the GDPR on requisitions by public authorities casts doubt on the legality of the operation since recital 31 in question indicates that requisitions of this type "should not relate to the entirety of a file » . > > If the transmission of data had come within the scope of this recital, this would potentially mean that the request for all the names and addresses of the cleaning service agents could have posed a problem since it could have been considered that it related to the entire file. This would have remained at the discretion of the CNIL as the supervisory authority. ### [Linked here is the full post written by ](https://blog.davidlibeau.fr/le-prefet-a-fait-valoir-la-substitution-pour-obtenir-les-donnees-personnelles-des-eboueurs-de-paris/) [@David](https://mastodon.xyz/users/David) ### [![](https://poliverso.org/photo/media/6032735 "")](https://blog.davidlibeau.fr/le-prefet-a-fait-valoir-la-substitution-pour-obtenir-les-donnees-personnelles-des-eboueurs-de-paris/)

Energized GitHub has been unmaintained since few months, and is showing 404 error on HOSTS files. Here is a copy of Energized Ultimate HOSTS file, and alternative HOSTS ruleset providers to consider.

Calling the FBI’s past abuses of Section 702 “egregious,” Darin LaHood—who is leading the House Intelligence Committee's working group pushing to reauthorize Section 702 amid a steeply divided Congress—said that “ironically,” being targeted by the FBI gives him a “unique perspective” on “what’s wrong with the FBI.”

Third-party doctrine - Wikipedia
The third-party doctrine is a United States legal doctrine that holds that people who voluntarily give information to third parties—such as banks, phone companies, internet service providers (ISPs), and e-mail servers—have "no reasonable expectation of privacy" in that information. A lack of privacy protection allows the United States government to obtain information from third parties without a legal warrant and without otherwise complying with the Fourth Amendment prohibition against search and seizure without probable cause and a judicial search warrant.[1]

You are not just being tracked by a network of cameras, new tech can also detect who has been with you. US-based firm Vintra sells its co-appearance feature to the San Francisco 49ers, the IRS and police departments across the country, and the Chinese government uses co-appearance to spot protesters and dissidents.

Kind reminder: your whole internet traffic, encryption, backups, communication, shopping, writings, business interaction, etc are transferred through your router. Many internet service providers across Europe impose their own routers to consumers. This is a clear contradiction with the 🌐 Net Neutrality principle.
