@daveyalba @leah_nylen Is there a transcript of his testimony available?

[Lee Hepner @LeeHepner]

Varian is behaving very hostile to the DOJ, despite his damning testimony. Here was a good exchange:

Dintzer/DOJ: Defaults are powerful, are they not?

Varian: I don’t know if I’d say that.

Dintzer: You coined the phrase “power of defaults,” did you not?

@TRosenstock @BridMcGrath @TG4TV @TheRollingWave Is this podcast still available somewhere? The link on the newstalk page isn't working.

@eric_seufert Updates will be added here: https://t.co/65BDDZ51Mf

[Alan Toner @AlanToner4]

@eric_seufert No. They contacted relevant industry actors and competitors with questions, but there has been no public communication beyond the press release and an official document to open proceedings.

If you're in London, check this out. Tim Robinson's Connemara trilogy is an incredible achievement. I never met him and Máiréad, but once west of An Cheathrú Rua, his voice is in my head, helping me to look more deeply, and listen more carefully.

@francescamari @nytimes @NYTmag Thx for this piece. For some years I lived beside Mitchell-Lama complex in W'burg (Lindsay Park). It was striking how racially mixed it was, an outlier in the NY I knew. Please write a detailed exploration of the ML program and its erosion through privatization and buy outs.

In this thread, I want to share some additional details about what the file from Xandr/Microsoft, which was reported yesterday (https://t.co/uJ7MpmIbgB), reveals about how hundreds of consumer data brokers trade personal information on billions of people at a global level.⬇️

The ad industry surveils users behaviour on/offline to classify them in 'segments' which can be sold to advertisers. This process includes observation and inference on sensitive health, political and financial data. @WolfieChristl found the dirt: https://t.co/H9lhXu8Pku

@Meavmusic @AnnaRodgersDocs @quietgirlfilm I've never heard 'hábú' before, is it a phrase specific to An Rinn?
