Simply incredible—all 5 of the "third party" privacy and consumer groups Facebook said it consulted before rolling out its Ray Ban AR camera glasses to ensure privacy was "baked in" from the start are *funded by Facebook*. Every single one of them.

A great figure from #IPCC #AR6 integrating historic (@ed_hawkins) & future (@alxrdk) warming stripes.
The most striking element for me is that from today, the temperature only goes up.

I’m glad that Apple is feeling the heat and changing their policy. But this illustrates something important: in building this system, the *only limiting principle* is how much heat Apple can tolerate before it changes its policies. reuters.com/technology/after…

Now that Apple has willingly built spyware into iOS and macOS, within 10 years this tech will:
(1) be mandated by government in all end-to-end encrypted apps; and
(2) expand to scan for terrorism, disinformation, "misinformation", then eventually political images and memes.

Prosecutors in Missouri literally argue that innocence simply doesn’t matter. The state Supreme Court agreed with them! They are ok with a innocent man rotting away in prison. This is America. cbsnews.com/news/why-are-wro…

1: The black box algorithm.
2: Unsupported claims of efficacy/biased research.
3. Disproportionate impact on marginalized groups.
4: Research showing ineffectiveness.
5. A stereotypical tech bro.

I sometimes hear from techies, especially those with a stake in the online ad biz: "You know, people don't *really* care about their online privacy."
First, some really do.
Second, a lot more *would* if they understood what it is you're doing. washingtonpost.com/technolog…
