In fact, half of all US police violence is enacted on people with disabilities, mainly disabled people of color. Source: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/half-people-killed-police-suffer-mental-disability-report-n538371

“Meta and Google get data from the app your boss uses to track you https://www.theverge.com/policy/935299/bossware-employer-surveillance

if the app is from the Google app store, Google uses it to track you.

if the app has a Google or Facebook login, Meta & Google use it to track you.

if the app is on an #android #TMobile phone purchased in USA or Canada, Meta, Google and Amazon use it to track you.

that’s why Google wants to kill #sideloading. they want to monopolize #stalkerware
