Yikes! Another example of how your data truly isn't private in the United States. This is what happens when the government distracts people about TikTok, instead of addressing the real issues concerning data privacy. www.pcmag.com/news/ftc-com...
FTC: Companies Are Using Your Data for Individualized 'Surveillance Pricing'
According to a new FTC report, retailers are hiring 'intermediary firms' to algorithmically tweak and target their prices, so you may be paying more based on your web history and profile.

The fact that the government thinks banning #TikTok prevents the app on people's phones from still doing nefarious things, really just shows you how little they know about technology. Banning it was stupid as it only backlashed, like the war on drugs, people find a way to still use it via VPN, etc.

And there it is. Scam and grift revealed. Watch who gets rich off this. Interested also to see how legacy media covers this, which has been putrid so far.

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1k/month. A year later, nearly half had housing.
They also had fewer ER visits, nights spent in a hospital, and jail stays.
The report estimates that this reduction in public service use SAVED the city $589k.

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1,000 a month. A year later, nearly half of participants said they had housing.
Participants in Denver's basic-income program reported having more-secure housing, though results were similar in the trial and control groups.

Anyone else watch Jon Stewart on Monday? I honestly can't agree with him more about how I feel in regards to the "game" the Dems and Republicans are playing. Then last night Bill Clinton was on Late Night with Stephen Colbert and he just seemed like, "hey, everything is fine!". Dems need to fight.

Already love this platform. The only question is: Do I permanently delete my X account? I've had it for so long... and maybe there's some hope for it... someday?

I will never understand how a billionaire, the richest man on Earth, spent millions to buy an election for ANOTHER billionaire, and told us that his policies would cause all of us non-billionaires “temporary hardship...”
...and the public didn't tell BOTH OF THEM to fuck off.

I’ve been waiting for people to move off X/Twitter. I was heavily invested in Twitter as a place of community and digital sociology since the days of Ferguson. Bluesky is now that place.
Here are some Bluesky Starter Packs. These will help you build back community.
