Attached: 1 image As part of a new report on digital advertising as a security threat published today by @johnnyryan@eupolicy.social and me (https://www.iccl.ie/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Europes-hidden-security-crisis.pdf), and previously unreported: We reveal 'Patternz', a global mass surveillance system that harvests digital advertising data on behalf of 'national security agencies'. Patternz is operated by a company based in Israel and/or Singapore. It claims to collect data about 5 billion users from 87 ad exchanges and SSPs via 6 data centers around the world. Thread:

    Not surprised this exists since there’s commercial stuff like for reveal and eltoro’s venue replay around. Spooky link for the curious: https://eltoro.com/product/venue-replay-to-direct-mail/
