As an expert on sexual violence, I have to add that these ethical violations are a nightmare for interviews on sensitive subjects. I would never recommend ANY survivor goes public with their story at an outlet that would do this to them.

I'm the token expert voice saying that inconsistencies in victim's narratives are common in an otherwise brutally bad piece of journalism full of tropes about how not to report on sexual assault.

Spectre is my favorite vulnerability class because it’s inherent to the way the system is built, and the only real way to fix it for good is to burn it all down. As an anarchist, I can appreciate that

I seem to remember a lot of the action thrillers moved to areas without cell coverage. I think we might see a similar move in stories now. With an added benefit for the camera companies to make such places look like crime infested backwaters.

I was watching an action thriller and got to thinking about how the cell phone changed the genre 30 years ago and how cameras feeding AI will likely change the genre now. The hero cannot just move through a metro area without being seen, tracked, and likely identified.
