“Everything I say leaks. And it sucks, right?,” Zuckerberg said at a Meta all-hands meeting this year.

This came after Meta's $25 million settlement with Trump and the company agreeing to pay $22 million for the Trump Presidential Library. From January:

Surveillance systems have always presented counter-intelligence and public safety risks -- from backdoors to poorly regulated wares of mercenary spyware firms

Here's another example thanks to @404media.co @jasonkoebler.bsky.social who discovered a Flock camera system exposed to the internet 👇
This is 404 Media's @jasonkoebler.bsky.social waving at himself through a Flock camera; one of 60 we learned was left exposed to the open internet. Not only could anyone with a link livestream it, but some admin portals were open with no login credentials required.

I wrote about the unprecedented mass censorship and surveillance laws that Congress is trying to ram through in the name of “protecting kids” and how none of this is about protecting kids. In fact, these laws cause great harm to all of us, for @zeteo.com
Social Media Is a Literal Lifeline for Many Kids. Don't Ban Them From Using It
US politicians want to replicate Australia's draconian law prohibiting children under 16 from using social media. But experts say such bans will actually make kids 'significantly less safe online.'
