a stupid naive question
  • You commented that it's "super weird and invasive" for an ISP to "firewall" listening ports. It just so happens that CGNAT also has the same effect and is super commonly used right now.

    I think I'm good 👍

  • Cops Released a Car’s Travel History to a Total Stranger
  • I believe that where I live the license plate numbers would also not be considered personal information. This might work here too, if a different exemption was not claimed, although I'm not aware of anyone using this technology near me.

  • I asked Food Basics if they're using facial recognition

    I wanted to know if my local Food Basics store is tracking me.

    I looked at the privacy policy on foodbasics.ca and not finding any mention of this, but wanting to be sure, I emailed their Privacy Officer.

    This is the email I sent:

    >Hello, > >I shop at the food basics store at [Address] in [City], > >I would like to know if you use facial recognition or identification technology in the store? And if so, for what purpose, and if the information is stored for how long? > >Thank you, >[Me]

    Here is the response I got:

    ! >Hello, > >I confirm that Metro does not use facial recognition technology or any other technology that allows the identification of individual at the Food Basics stores. > >Best regards >Eliane >Legal Counsel

    Just want to share to encourage everyone to learn about and exercise your consumer privacy rights.

    Peel police to announce arrests in Pearson Airport gold heist

    The timing of this immediately made me think of the article posted the other day about there being no news since it happened a year ago.

    Also found this: Arrests in $20-million Toronto airport gold heist stem from cross-border gun running plot

    This bot is literally the most annoying thing on lemmy ever.

    I hate it.
