Lawmakers must act to protect users’ metadata, and “people should make use of technologies which either do not retain metadata past the time where it is necessary to provision services, or do not collect it at all,” EFF’s @legind.bsky.social told @Metro.co.uk. metro.co.uk/2025/08/21/...
This 'invisible' data trail can reveal your location and sexuality to scammers

Social media platforms like Meta’s still have a long way to go toward being transparent and helping users understand how to adjust their own settings to avoid content they don’t want, EFF’s Corynne McSherry told CBS News.
Meta says it didn't force users to follow President Trump on Facebook and Instagram
The company also said it was working to resolve an issue where some words, including "Democrats" and "Republican," were blocked from Instagram search.

Scientists, academics, researchers: We’re excited to share that @altmetric.com is now tracking mentions of your research on Bluesky! 🧪
There are already many articles for which there is more attention on Bluesky than on other comparable micro-blogging sites, meaning the academic community and the general public have clearly adopted Bluesky as one of its core places to disseminate and discuss new research.

Blakiston’s fish owls are so large that, as adults, they don’t really have natural predators. I’m aware of only one case of predation, when a Eurasian lynx surprised one along a riverbank while it was concentrating on the water & watching for fish 1/4 🌍🦉

Sexual dimorphism is the difference in morphology between male and female members of the same species. Sexual dimorphism includes differences in size, coloration, or body structure between the sexes. For example, the male northern cardinal has a bright red plumage while the female has a duller pluma
