これ面白かった。秘匿性が高い通信アプリの筆頭格であるsignalのMeredith Whittaker(元Googleの研究者)のインタビュー。 GoogleやMicrosoft、Apple等々のテック企業は基本的にユーザーの個人情報や利用情報などのプライバシーを餌として利用することを通して利益を上げていることや、その最たる例として昨今のAI技術が使われていることを解説している。私たちがネット上で日々交わしているあらゆるメッセージは、常に誰かに利用されるリスクに晒されており、それに対して人権としてのプライバシーが主張される。 youtube.com/watch?v=8BUU...

Meta announced today that it also wants to introduce ads on WhatsApp, which will be based on personal data from Facebook and Instagram. This further integrates WhatsApp into other Meta services - an originally independent app, which initially was available for just $1 per year without ads or data usage. This also means that Meta is consolidating its social networking monopoly. EU law was actually supposed to prevent this."
