ICE Block “is not uploading your location at all, when you make a report that report isn’t associated with your device in any way, and there are no third party services that it talks to or sends data to,” EFF’s @cooperq told @404mediaco. 404media.co/immigration-raid-t…

Immigration Raid Tracking App ‘ICE Block’ Keeps Your Data Private, Researcher Finds

The app, which jumped to the top of an App Store chart, lets users report sightings of ICE officials.

Security Vulnerabilities in ICEBlock - Schneier on Security

The ICEBlock tool has vulnerabilities: The developer of ICEBlock, an iOS app for anonymously reporting sightings of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials, promises that it “ensures user privacy by storing no personal data.

And from the WTAF dept, quite a bombshell from ProPublica today:

"Microsoft is using engineers in China to help maintain the Defense Department’s computer systems — with minimal supervision by U.S. personnel — leaving some of the nation’s most sensitive data vulnerable to hacking from its leading cyber adversary, a ProPublica investigation has found."

"The arrangement, which was critical to Microsoft winning the federal government’s cloud computing business a decade ago, relies on U.S. citizens with security clearances to oversee the work and serve as a barrier against espionage and sabotage."

"But these workers, known as “digital escorts,” often lack the technical expertise to police foreign engineers with far more advanced skills, ProPublica found. Some are former military personnel with little coding experience who are paid barely more than minimum wage for the work."

Microsoft “Digital Escorts” Could Expose Defense Dept. Data to Chinese Hackers

The Pentagon bans foreign citizens from accessing highly sensitive data, but Microsoft bypasses this by using engineers in China and elsewhere to remotely instruct American “escorts” who may lack expertise to identify malicious code.

I've just finished reading _Technofeudalism_ by Yanis Varoufakis. If he's right, then it's politically urgent to escape from the clutches of Meta, Google, Amazon and the like as soon as possible.

Varoufakis' arguments reminded me of _Chokepoint Capitalism_ by Rebecca Giblin and @pluralistic, though according to Varoufakis the dominance of Amazon and the like has killed off capitalism and is a form of feudalism. I still want to compare these two analyses more carefully.

But Varoufakis' argument is: these platforms have managed to lure people in to work for them for free, and with every post and update on their platforms, these exploitative and massively dangerous companies grow stronger and harder to defeat. On the other hand, if the people take back social media and the internet more generally, there's a real opportunity for building a counter-movement with these technologies.

The lesson I take from this: getting people to quit the capitalist platforms and join the #Fediverse is part of political organisation, and possibly an important part if you consider the way people are tethered to their Instagram and Tiktok.

Let me repeat this: Convincing and helping comrades to quit the capitalist platforms and join the Fediverse is an important form of revolutionary political organisation. ✊

In the event that the Trump administration's claims regarding Jeffrey Epstein remain unconvincing to MAGA supporters, here's a way out of the mess: Name a special prosecutor who will investigate the matter until shortly after the midterm elections. While the investigation is ongoing, the special prosecutor will say that he can't discuss anything due to the ongoing investigation. After the midterms, he can announce that he has come to the same conclusions as Bondi. Done.

Alex Jones & MTG said Trump is wrong sending weapons to Ukraine & there's no plan. Of course Trump planned.

I don't like it, but situations are fluid. Allies become enemies. Enemies become allies. The bottom line is about resources, money, food, alliances. Whoever has the most wins.

Putin & Zel are tyrants, but Zelensky offered rare minerals. Putin offered nothing. Trump plays the long-game. His Admin plays the short game. In the end, we come out on top. Same in Middle East & Arctic. 🤷‍♀️ Imo.

@mos_8502 it's probably not profitable to keep them in production forever. I mean, there's a limited pool of buyers, and the maker needs to buy a bunch at once to keep prices low. So, it's smart to make exactly as much as you can sell in some short period of time, say six months. Gotta minimize inventory management costs, etc.

I don't really blame them. And, I mean, nobody is relying on these things for their livelihood. Governments aren't asking for two suppliers and an SLA.

"Dear Mr. Biden,

to follow up on our last letter to you:

We do sincerely apologize, if we do not consider the giraffe, that you had beautifully cut out of National Geographic Magazine and glued onto a canvas, to be worth '30.000 US Dollars', as you had propositioned as a form of settlement of your outstanding legal fees.

Also, we generally use 'sales tax' on invoices, as required by law, not '10% for the big guy'.
We can't accommodate your requests to the contrary here, unfortunately.

The same applies to 'just tack it onto the federal debt', as you suggested.
We're unable to, since we are a law firm, not Congress.

To briefly address the rest of your, at times somewhat incoherent, letter, we'd also like to mention, that we do not take any 'snow', illicit 'hot pix' of 'really young' minors, nor any promises of having 'Budanov take out whoever you want' as valid payment options.

We'd like to, again, apologize profusely for any inconvenience caused, Mr. Biden!
