Surveillance is pervasive: Yes, you are being watched, even if no one is looking for you

Surveillance is pervasive: Yes, you are being watched, even if no one is looking for you https://share.newsbreak.com/1h6myng5 Surveillance is pervasive: Yes, you are being watched, even if no one is looking for you By Peter Krapp, Professor of Film & Media Studies, University of California, Irvine, 5 hrs agoMost Americans are aware of video surveillance of public spaces. Likewise, most people know about online tracking – andwant Congress to do something about it . But as a researcher who studies digital culture and secret communications , I believe that to understand how pervasive surveillance is, it’s important to recognize how physical and digital tracking work together. Databases can correlate location data from smartphones , the growing number of private cameras, license plate readers on police cruisers and toll roads, and facial recognition technology , so if law enforcement wants to track where you are and where you’ve been, they can. They need a warrant to use cellphone search equipment: Connecting your device to a mobile device forensic tool lets them extract and analyze all your data if they have a warrant . However, private data brokers also track this kind of data and help surveil citizens – without a warrant. There is a large market for personal data, compiled from information people volunteer, information people unwittingly yield – for example, via mobile apps – and information that is stolen in data breaches. Among the customers for this largely unregulated data are federal, state and local law enforcement agencies .

Jeff Berwick needs killing ( My 200 sats )
by professor rat 27 Jul '22

The series follows the growth of, and conflict within, the annual “Anarchapulco” conference in Acapulco, Mexico. Founded by entrepreneur and long-winded YouTuber Jeff Berwick in 2015, Anarchapulco caters to middle-to-upper class mostly white American expats who promote “free market” libertarian capitalism, as theorized by far-right thinkers like Ayn Rand and Murray Rothbard. https://anarchistnews.org/content/real-anarchists-react-%E2%80%98-anarchist… Reposts etc

science is organized crime

https://www.theguardian.com/society/2022/jul/23/alzheimers-study-fraudulent "drug, sold under the brand name Aduhelm and developed by Biogen, was the subject of its own controversy last year. As it was being considered for approval in 2021, multiple FDA officials said there was not enough evidence of its benefit to support approval. Nevertheless, the agency approved the drug, which Biogen priced at $56,000. That prompted the resignation of three FDA officials, one of whom said there was “no good evidence the drug works”." Imagine that. The corruption is so insane that even turds from the FDA don't want to promote this poison. Poor, senile, fascist turds like jim bell and the thing <pro2rat(a)yahoo.com.au> won't have any 'medicine' to 'cure' their rotten brains. What a tragedy!!!

And Now, The Research *No winter for Coinbase Ventures* Despite Coinbase’s brutal 2022, its venture arm was still the #1 most active corporate VC investor <https://cbinsights.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=0c60818e26ecdbe423a10a…> (tied with GV) in the second quarter. Coinbase Ventures and GV (Google Ventures) invested in 28 companies each in Q2’22, pulling back from their first quarter dealmaking. Overall, CVC activity fell by the largest margin in over a decade (though it remained one of the strongest quarters on record). Japan bucked that trend. Corporate venture arms in the country dominated the world stage in Q2. Of the 9 most active CVCs, 5 are now based in Japan compared to 2 in Q1’22. <https://cbinsights.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=0c60818e26ecdbe423a10a…> A government push to encourage more startup activity in the country may continue to drive a shift in dealmaking across all investor types, including CVCs.
