I am happy to find that there is someone left in Google that will "do the right thing".

Host proof storage too. Opt in, not out.

Makes me nostalgic for 2006, when Google were exciting inovators...

I read Citizen's Lab's efforts as well with admiration.

It's just getting hard not to feel targeted from places that are supposed to be allies.

It's not exactly magnanimous of Google to deign us worthy of reading our own log files.

If the information noted in the article was not already logged, that's incompetence. If this logging is new, I think it is going to be used commercially for Google's planned September lock-down of Android.

That said, I'm not inclined to trust 🇺🇸 technology any more than 🇨🇳, or 🇷🇺 for that matter. All of those countries require certain computers, such as my phone, betray me. All collect, distribute and exploit personal information. None give me practical legal recourse, even when their own information laws are broken.

It's from Google, so immediately distrust.

Security researchers: We found the problem! It's called Android.

part of Android's Advanced Protection Mode
So it's not in AOSP but in GMS, heh...]]>https://board.circlewithadot.net/post/https://nya.one/notes/am6r8skxhkow03tshttps://board.circlewithadot.net/post/https://nya.one/notes/am6r8skxhkow03tsTue, 12 May 2026 22:16:49 GMT<![CDATA[Reply to Google has rolled out a new feature for Android called "Intrusion Logging" that helps security researchers do forensic analysis to find spyware. on Tue, 12 May 2026 22:03:53 GMT]]>@evacide

And because it's coming from google, I don't trust whatever it is to not harm the disadvantaged and/or repressed. I'm suspicious and my immediate thought is not, in fact, "oh how cool", but "oh how will they use this to be more fascist". They've done a great PR job.

- Doesn't offset their cyberfascist clampdown on making merely "source available" at best…
