Clearview's "business model relies on collecting incredibly sensitive and personal information, and this [client] breach is yet another sign that the potential benefits of Clearview's technology do not outweigh the grave privacy risks it poses" -@SenMarkey cnet.com/news/clearview…
We must solve the privacy problem Clearview raises with a strong federal privacy law that gives consumers real power to stop invasive uses of technology. eff.org/deeplinks/2020…
We must also reach out to local city council, board of supervisors, and state or federal legislators to tell them we need meaningful restrictions on law enforcement use of face recognition, so that Clearview's technology doesn't end up in government hands.

E-voting is a bad idea. A team of MIT researchers finds that Voatz pairs a bad idea with bad execution internetpolicy.mit.edu/wp-content/upl… a screenshot of the first page of the PDF we link to
The team of @MIT researchers who analyzed Voatz' flawed e-voting app have a FAQ with more detail backing up their findings. internetpolicy.mit.edu/faq-on-the-sec…
MIT researchers: "It is important to improve election accessibility… for disabled people, the elderly, military and overseas voters. We disagree… that we should subject these populations to experiments that risk the safety, security, and integrity of their vote."

If you or someone you know is thinking of buying a Ring doorbell camera—or already has one—here are 10 tips to consider, and an extra not in our post:
1. You are not the only one who can access your footage.
2. Ring’s system is likely to make you paranoid. eff.org/deeplinks/2020…
3. Bad actors have used Ring cameras to look in homes and talk to children.
4. There is no conclusive evidence that Ring cameras prevent crime.
eff.org/deeplinks/2020…
Already own a Ring camera? Here are a few more tips, with detailed info in our post.

5. Don’t point your Ring camera at anyone’s property but your own.
6. Tell police to get a warrant.
7. Use strong passwords and unique usernames.

Meet the world's first cheetah cubs conceived through in vitro fertilisation.

The two healthy babies were born Monday and are bonding with their mother Isabelle.

Artificial insemination of cheetahs is hard so this is an important success for the species.
Scientists estimate that there are just 7,500 cheetahs left in the wild, with 90% of the population having been lost in the last hundred years.

Around 5,000-6,000 have been lost in the last 15 years.

Threats to the species include loss of habitat, loss of prey, and poaching.
Cheetahs now occupy only about 10% of their historic range.

The map below is from 2015 but gives you a sense of how dramatically cheetah habitat has shrunk under the pressure of various threats.

The situation is likely even worse now.

THREAD! *open letter*
To the critics, those who question, those who want more information, those that want to help Mr. #JulianAssange & the #transparency movement.

I have seen your questions, DMs and blog posts & since I know criticism is hard to take I will address some issues.
This thread will contain criticism of both my friends and the ones running the operation to save Mr. Assanges life. In both cases it is constructive criticism. Not because I'm so smart, but because I've been around more blocks than you know. Why? Because I dont advertise my work.
First a few direct experience based undeniable truths
- Courage Foundation know they shit
- Wikileaks have weathered more storms than you have seen
- Not all anomalies are born from ineptitude
- We all love transparency but even WL need to keep cards close 2 their vest (cont.)

I need to motivate and write sumthin for my blog but everything is either too "big and messy" or "feels not worth the effort now"

Until I got this idea to play with FANDOM TERMINOLOGY SHITFIGHTS
and the current anime season's take on guys hangin' out in a band;

(Oh snap! Muddy-kun is gonna frick this one up in classic gettit-wrong fashion)

No..wait... Have been watching it on a certain "grey" aggregator site, fun to read comments too.

Of course commenters are all sloppy with terms: "GAY" "Yaoi" "shonen-ai".

By ep5 all I can guess is that one chara has a man-crush and another, a roomie. Read in what you will -- or am I erasing? Or am I reluctant to be trolled by the writers?

Besides the point. What we got here is an almost genre-perfect take on a "guys friendships" story.

It’s #Monday, I’m boozing it up at a 4 seat bar, the #barkeep is a long pourer, and I’m all fucking set if I get something stuck between my teeth.👇🙃 #RandomThoughts #drinking #OutAndAbout
Shooting the shit with a friend, she’s proud to be doing well with her plants - unusual for her.

The key was a #video explaining the benefits of pruning.

She needs REASONS. She got them.

Apparently, pruning in a particular manner stimulates growth hormones.

Of course, this led to me initiating a discussion about the #movie I just watched on Hulu, called “The German Doctor.”

The main character was Josef Mengele. #ThisHappened

People, this is why I’m known in my circles as “The Black Hole Of Conversation.” SMTH
