Google is trying to buy code from some Android developers as part of a "confidential" program.

SOND, a startup that farms you for your vitals while you sleep (and will never share that data with the insurance industry, pinky promise), exits stealth with $7M

“…the device tracks signals like respiration, heart rate variability, cardiorespiratory coupling, sleep staging, body position, snoring, and seismocardiography (SCG, or the mechanical vibrations of the chest wall produced by the beating heart).

This sensor data streams in real time to a cloud-based AI sleep coach that then selects a sleep audio program, or generates one on demand, learning over time which ones work best for the individual user.”

I don’t understand why one of the largest factory farms for human beings is acting this way.

I never thought the factory farm for human beings I work at would farm me is the new leopards eating people’s faces.

I guess when I was telling people that Big Tech (aka People Farmers) never delete your data but just set a deleted=true flag, I was being overly generous.

It’s amazing given how much insight I have into their bullshit that their bullshit still never ceases to surprise me.

Call data centres what they really are: data farms.

It’s where they farm you for your data.

You are the livestock being farmed.

“A jury in LA has delivered a damning verdict for two of the world's most popular digital platforms, Instagram and YouTube.

It ruled those apps are addictive, and deliberately engineered that way – and that its owners have been negligent in their safeguarding of the children who have used them.

Some experts have described the verdict as big tech's "big tobacco" moment, and we know how that worked out - although it didn't stop people smoking altogether.”

What next for big tech after landmark social media addiction verdict?

The ruling could be the beginning of the end of social media as we know it, writes the BBC's technology editor Zoe Kleinman.
