It’s absurd that American authorities can purchase personal data – that they’re not allowed to gather themselves without a warrant – directly from data brokers. This violates the Fourth Amendment, and it’s time to close the data broker loophole. Today, @RepThomasMassie, @RepBoebert and @naomibrockwell at the @LudlowInstitute introduced the Surveillance Accountability Act. It requires warrants based on probable cause for all government surveillance and data access. You can read more about it at surveillanceaccountability.com

And P.S. if you go to Helium because of the more compact UI... I'm cooking something that'll make you think twice. Stay tuned

Brave just dropped Brave Origin: a paid, debloated version of their browser. No AI, no crypto, no rewards, no telemetry. $60 one-time (free on Linux!) We've been manually stripping this stuff out for years and so I have some thoughts... Watch on YouTube: youtu.be/3i5KH0l895o

After a rigorous vetting process, we've brought on a new chief video officer. Qualifications: top-tier nap skills and unmatched ability to block the mouse & keyboard. We're in good paws 🐾

Interesting....one of our most popular videos was a Brave debloat guide. Could be demand for this.

Got to try it out, really exciting first launch! Shared thoughts here: youtu.be/NcpEwYMXYBQ
