Facebook isn't an American company in any traditional sense.

It's an international corp with 3B users. Countries have every right to regulate if It impacts their citizens. That's normal business.

Many US States unhappy with Meta: privacy & teenager policies.

Also: US telling Tiktok what to do...

Back in 2021 Zuckerberg testified to Congress about content moderation. Facebook asked Congress to tell them how to moderate.

FB would love the Gov to take moderation off their plate. Gov becomes the bad guy. Facebook can shrug. Moderation becomes actual, not imagined Free Speech issue.

Matthew Livelsberger's digital footprint is interesting.

ObscurelQ helped independently vet email address, find new clues.

Over a million views because of how contentious that authenticity has been.

Still some life in the Ducks.
We'll see how much. 🤔

It's never over till it's over.
But I'd like to report a mugging. #buckeyes #ducks

But I agree with you that it has impact on speech even if that's not the intent of the ban.

The Tiktok Ban is not about foreign ownership. It's not about speech.

It's not about harvesting data of US citizens. (very bad, but can get elsewhere).

It's about China being able to inject, manip narratives in US brainspace. This kind of "narrative warfare" is a new and crucial battleground.

Would a Digital Footprint Wipe Have Saved the CEO of United Healthcare?

Maybe. On its own? Probably not.

But paired with smarter security strategies and broader protection for the people closest to them? It's a different story.

That transparency is interesting. But I suspect it could be abused.

Know the old scam where crap sold via mail order, ord never delivered, then $$ sent back but from an account like "Nazi Party of Richmond"?

The scammed would never cash the checks. 😯

But times change, deposits not in person.

Did you admit to using ChatGPT, Zach? Or use Midjourney to generate an image?

I understand those can be Capital offenses to some.

The publication above is from @daniel-solove.bsky.social. I like his insights.

He has a lot of accolades. But this one simply floors me:
* He is the most-cited legal scholar born after 1970.

Let that sink in.

I'm such a privacy geek...

Publications like this make me imitate Steve Martin in The Jerk: "The new phone books here!"

Financial institutions monetizing consumer data, selling income, expenses, balances to third parties.

Fed protections don't address new tactics.

State laws might fix, if stop GLBA exemptions.
