We publish a major Citizen Lab report on Webloc, an ad-based mass surveillance system that monitors the movements and personal characteristics of hundreds of millions people globally based on data obtained from mobile apps and digital advertising.

Customers include ICE, El Salvador and Hungary.

Our research shows that ad-based surveillance is now used by military, intelligence and law enforcement agencies down to local police in several countries.

OpenClaw exposure dashboard https://openclaw.allegro.earth/

This claims that nearly 500k openclaw instances are openly exposed?! can that really be true?!?!

I think "exposed" here doesn't mean that you can necessarily bypass the "security" requirements but that the instance is publicly accessible. But I'm not sure.

This seems like an awful lot of instances full stop though. I really did not expect nearly 500k claw agents to be listed

me five years ago: ohh wow, this person knows what they're talking about, they must be an expert!

me today: let's do a 10-30 minutes research on whether this person just posted an ai slop or they're a genuine person with deep interest in the topic.

I hate what the internet became...

Let’s get one thing straight: We are not a Christian nation. We are a nation where you are free to be a Christian.

Your religion guides you, not all of us. It’s as simple as that.

"We are freeing Iran from religious fanatics".
