Picked up my notebook this morning — full of notes from a recent reporting trip — and got hit with another wave of grief over all the stories that now won't be told. I'm looking for work, preferably in Kyiv, should anyone need a dogged, empathetic reporter. DM/email.

It appears games company VOODOO has been fined for using iOS's IDFV (analytics) despite getting a "reject" signal from the ATT popup

Mursal Nabizada was a member of the Afghan parliament. She stayed in Afghanistan. She did not leave after the Taliban took over the country.
MP Nabizada was shot dead in her home today.
Afghanistan is hell on earth for women.

There's a lot worth reading in the FB binding decision—probably the most succinct encapsulation of the EDPB's position is at the bottom of para 101
"The GDPR... treats personal data as a fundamental right... and not as a commodity data subjects can trade away through a contract"
Does this include how to lose $200 billion in 30 days?

Subscription based but maybe worth to buy the whole @TheEconomist issue. 2 articles: one about optical data-processing and this one about using photonic processing to accelerate #FullyHomomorphicEncryption

It’s okay because 20% of no revenue is €0
IMPORTANT: @elonmusk's new policy preventing linking to competitors is in DIRECT VIOLATION of European Union rules.
Penalty can be a fine of up to 20% of Twitter's annual revenue

A must-read on @elonmusk from Linette Lopez, one of the journalists that Musk has suspended from Twitter.
She has covered his business activities with a critical eye for years.

NEW: Twitter's suspensions of prominent journalists were internally labeled "direction of Ella," referring to Ella Irwin, Twitter's Trust and Safety head who has carried out many of Musk's orders.

Holy Shit. Elon Musk just popped into a Twitter Spaces chat with a bunch of journalists. He was called out by journalist Drew Harrell, who he banned, for lying about posting links to his private information, then leaves almost immediately after being pressed. Here is the exchange

My team met with @Twitter today. They told us that they're not going to retaliate against independent journalists or researchers who publish criticisms of the platform.
Less than 12 hours later, multiple technology reporters have been suspended. What's the deal, @elonmusk?
Journalists who cover Elon Musk have been suspended on Twitter tonight: @Donie O'Sullivan from CNN, Aaron Rupar and the Washington Post's @drewharwell.
Rupar tells me he has "no idea" why it happened.
