Always listen to Carole Cadwalladr on these critical matters. Buckle-up, folks. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/article/2024/aug/18/inciting-rioters-in-britain-was-a-test-run-for-elon-musk-just-see-what-he-plans-for-america
Inciting rioters in Britain was a test run for Elon Musk. Just see what he plans for America

The presidential election is three months away. What if the billionaire contests the result? What if he decides democracy is overrated?

Next was a fantastic panel on the integration of privacy and antitrust at CEPR with @johnnyryan, Dina H. Srinivasan, @jasonkint, Simeon Thornton, and Alessandro Acquisti. While this panel is from a few years ago, the topics they cover are still very relevant, and Acquisti presents compelling evidence of the unmeasured costs of privacy violations. Highly recommend https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K6QawAyAKRk (4/5) #privacy #antitrust #law
Panel 1: Privacy & Antitrust: "Integration", not just "Intersection"

“One in eight Instagram users under the age of 16 said they experienced unwanted sexual advances on the platform in the previous week.” https://www.wsj.com/tech/instagram-facebook-teens-harassment-safety-5d991be1
His Job Was to Make Instagram Safe for Teens. His 14-Year-Old Showed Him What the App Was Really Like.

When a Meta security expert told Mark Zuckerberg that Instagram’s approach to protecting teens wasn’t working, the CEO didn’t reply. Now the former insider is set to tell Congress about the predatory behavior.

Meta is now being actively sued by:
-shareholders (covering up data breach)
-pension funds (overpaying regulators to protect ceo)
-advertisers (inflating reach)
-state AGs (harming children)
-FTC (abusing market power)
-EU (human right to privacy)

…but it’s Meta earnings day!!!

Saw many people giving 'instructions' on how to make Chrome not spy on you.
Why not just use a privacy friendly browser and save all the hassle? I've been using @bravebrowser for years now and I am VERY happy!

Google gets its way, bakes a user-tracking ad platform directly into Chrome

Chrome now directly tracks users, generates a “topic” list it shares with advertisers.

Japan Earthquake Alert App (1.9 million followers) Says Sayonara to X

"[..]We have decided that if we were to spend over ¥700,000 per month that it would be better if this money could go to developing our NERV app and strengthening our ActivityPub servers instead of X’s API. Therefore, we are beginning to cut down on our posts on X."
