Law enforcement has sneakily gotten around obtaining warrants for getting access to people’s locations. Instead they’re buying them off shady data brokers that feed on our personal data from our pockets. Read more on what your apps may share about you: privacyinternational.org/cas…

Ending the Partnership model of GPs doesn’t seem to be about better care for patients It appears to be motivated by other reasons Why not invest in the current model providing 20% more with fewer GPs? Why enforce a change rather than just invest? Who holds the data?

"Open"AI 💰Raises $1bn in seed capital—sorry, "donations". 💻Releases GPT-2 open source. 💰Goes for-profit. 💰Gets $1bn from Microsoft. 💻Releases GPT-3 with limited info. 💰Gets another ~$10bn off Microsoft. 💻Completely black-boxes GPT-4. That is some serious audacity.

Facebook's new opt-out form is very hard to find. After a lot of digging and several preliminary clicks, I ended up here. I'm now going to live-tweet the process of objecting to Meta's ad-targeting. This is pretty niche stuff. So if you're interested, I like you. 🧵

Facebook may have your phone number, even if you never shared it. Now it has a secret tool to let you delete it. businessinsider.com/facebook… The privacy of others matters. Think when an app asks to upload your contact details. I've never given Facebook my mobile number but it has it

My son has set the house up with a Pi-Hole. It’s a raspberry pi running Ad blocking on the whole house’s network. We’re a few hours in and we’re seeing effects, as well as some teething problems.
