Thank you to the Daily Show, we need this right now
I'm a bit sad that last.fm isn't more popular. To preempt, yes, it's still a centralized commercial company, but at least it's agnostic about where you listen to music. Instead, most people have their listening habits locked within specific streaming platforms like Spotify or YouTube Music, and rely on them to make that information available to them once a year...

No matter what you think about TikTok, a state outlawing an app based on vague concerns and no evidence was always an alarming precedent for the First Amendment.

Montana's ban was also "technically incompetent," as one expert told me, and would have required the app stores to track whenever anyone crosses state lines. Addressing a privacy issue by mandating more surveillance by government decree

Montana can ban TikTok, but it probably can’t enforce it

The law is supposed to protect users' private data, but enforcing it, experts say, would require more data collection, not less.

Yes @emptywheel. Thank you. Now let’s ask why& what the consequences are of the media & expert analysts on cable TV constantly whitewashing Trump’s targeting of Black voters.Below are my tweets from the KKK Act suit the NAACP LDF filed right after the election. It was there in plain sight.

Trump's Attack on Black Votes Was There the Whole Time, We Just Didn't Call It a Crime - emptywheel

Trump deployed threats of violence to make it harder to count the votes of Black and Latino voters but no one treated it as a crime.

I agree with CISA here (and have publicly for years) - security access logs for customers own services shouldn't be locked behind E5 per user licensing.

Yes, it will cost Microsoft money in upsell. They're more profitable than a large portion of the UK economy; they can afford it.

I should also point out the reason Microsoft was able to tell orgs specifically that they'd be targeted even when they didn't have E5 is MS already store the logs anyway.

Staring down 2 full pages of starred emails (i.e., "respond to this person") from just the last 5 days. Was just thinking how badly I need some time off. This is not helping.
