Important exchange in Chatrie today about the privacy implications of the case. Depending on what the Supreme Court decides, all data of your data stored on the cloud - such as your emails - could be open to government searches without a warrant.

The hunger American lovers of liberty have for currency innovation (which is central to the founding of the nation) must continue to filter down into the global south. We unfortunately have mounting authoritarianism in certain nations because the leaders fundamentally misunderstand the underlying technology. Lawmakers in the US still seem to get it. Export crypto education. P.S. Cypherpunks are alive - you just need to know where to look. x.com/farzamehsani/s…

Pains me to say this but the cypher punk era of Bitcoin is dead. It was taken out back and shot in the head so people could get VC checks and a big house. It will take 30-40 years of Bitcoin marinating in the global economy before we see a resurgence in the cypher punk era.

🚨 @timburchett says there are “quite a few” Republicans who won’t back this version of the FISA bill like him. “They keep coming up with the same stuff, thinking we're gonna repackage it. It’s just the same stuff.” “I would trash it and I’d start over.”

This is horrifying Rep Lauren Boebert “They're scanning our faces in public places at protests, even at our children's schools. The government is building secret databases they can go through anytime that they feel like it” “This is an absolute egregious reach on our Fourth Amendment rights. They're creating a digital footprint of your entire life without a single warrant or even probable cause.” “Your morning commute to work, it's tracked dropping off your kids at their soccer practice that's logged, visiting a church or a gun range recorded forever in government, in a government-accessible database.” In response to this, Rep Lauren Boebert and Rep Thomas Massie introduce their new Surveillance Accountability Act (H.R. 8470) This bill will require probable-cause warrants for many forms of government surveillance, including warrantless facial recognition in public spaces This includes protests, schools, places of worship, automated license plate readers and even access to commercial data This bill must pass

For those of us who have just bought a massive smart TV to watch every minute of the upcoming FIFA World Cup. You should know that you are not merely watching TV....the TV is watching YOU. "Automatic Content Recognition (ACR) takes snapshots of audio or video as often as every 10 milliseconds from any media source connected to your TV" "...companies gather up to 100 billion data points each day, which they use to build advertising profiles about individual viewers that can include information such as suspected race, political leanings, religious beliefs, age, and geographic location." "Fueled by ACR data, the connected TV (CTV) advertising business is extremely lucrative. One estimate predicted the total CTV ad spend to hit $33 billion in 2025 and grow to $47 billion by 2028" "While you can’t see them, what TV manufacturers and their ACR partners are doing with your data is just as creepy. Once your TV is connected to the internet, Amazon or Walmart might as well be sitting on your couch." Great write up by Grace Hermann at @FuluFoundation

Your TV has been spying on you for years. It's about to get worse. We broke down what is actually happening inside your smart TV, why it matters, and what comes next. Read the full blog: fulu.org/blog/our-tvs-h…
