Per Cognyte's own PR, such deals pave the way to sell more of its tech into the US. Among Cognyte's other products are predictive AI, social media surveillance, and an SS7 tool for finding a phone with just a number. It's also invested in adint, which gets user locations from mobile ads.

Engaging in mental gymnastics to justify what's convenient but unevidenced, unjust but personally beneficial, 'rewires your neural map' in ways that degrade your overall ability to understand and analyze the world around you, which is a precondition for intelligence and creativity.

Google is hosting a CBP app that uses facial recognition to identify immigrants, while simultaneously removing apps that report the location of ICE officials because Google sees ICE as a vulnerable group. “Big tech has made their choice.” www.404media.co/google-has-c...

Did you know, GrapheneOS will have an opt-in built-in network location feature in the near future. We have an experimental implementation which we're testing already. It will not be enabled by default for privacy reasons. It will have support for choosing between multiple services.

One of the most important political messages on the internet.

anyone who thinks the way to head off the tide of fascism is by limiting the range of political choices to either fascists or pro business neoliberal technocrats is dooming us to fascism. David Graeber.

Reading Signal's post on their latest forward-thinking feature, Sparse Post Quantum Ratchet (SPQR). SPQR, part of Signal's continued development building-in features that combat future privacy concerns with developments in quantum computing. While Meta, Google, etc invest in chatbots no one wants.

Meta illegaly downloaded 80+ terabytes of books from LibGen, Anna's Archive, and Z-library to train their AI models. In 2010, Aaron Swartz downloaded only 70 GBs of articles from JSTOR (0.0875% of Meta). Faced $1 million in fine and 35 years in jail. Took his own life in 2013.

“Torrenting from a corporate laptop doesn’t feel right”: Meta emails unsealed

A photo of Aaron Swartz (1986-2013) when he was 19.

Last month, Meta admitted to torrenting a controversial large dataset known as LibGen, which includes tens of millions of pirated books. But details around the torrenting were murky until yesterday, when Meta's unredacted emails were made public for the first time. The new evidence showed that Meta torrented "at least 81.7 terabytes of data across multiple shadow libraries through the site Anna’s Archive, including at least 35.7 terabytes of data from Z-Library and LibGen," the authors' court filing said. And "Meta also previously torrented 80.6 terabytes of data from LibGen."

Just have to say that the $Trump meme coin is a gift to all of us who are not fans of his. It’s just a matter of time until a lot of people lose money from this. I’m a crypto fan. This is not crypto any more than Madoff was just buying and selling shares of stock

Re: Zuckerberg's announcement: Censorship of Palestinians & pro-Palestine voices has been pervasive across Meta's platforms. A lot of people who claim to be pro-free speech go very quiet when it's those voices being quashed or they want that kind of speech suppressed.
