While under US sanctions, where did Huawei get the advanced chips for its latest Mate 60 Pro smartphone? Under the US sanctions, SMIC (the most plausible scenario) should not have been able to make advanced chips for Huawei. https://t.co/v9nI4KbcnF

Re: Zoom's forced "consent" on letting their AI train using your calls, a little brush up on the GDPR
https://t.co/BQ3V9IvdyI

[Chris Derps @ChrisDerps]

The way they phrase it is fuckin dodgy - you automatically "consent" when you use Zoom per their ToS. There is no opt-out, which is in breach of GDPR btw because consent needs to be freely given and not conditional to the use of a service.

Zoom denies training AI on calls without consent https://t.co/r6tcQWx1RJ

[Remmelt Ellen 🛑 @RemmeltE]

The most tortured ToS edit:

“You…grant…Zoom a perpetual…licence to…use…Customer Content…for artificial intelligence training.”

“Notwithstanding the above, Zoom will not use audio, video, or chat Customer Content to train AI without your consent.”

[Gabor Gurbacs @gaborgurbacs]

Wow. New Zoom Terms of Service (10.2) stipulate that you as a user consent to allow AI to train on and use all of your data, including video, audio, facial, biometric data, etc... It's time to switch to @keet_io.

[Chris Derps @ChrisDerps]

@tedgioia @Zoom If their service provision enforces consent (you have to agree to use our service), they still "get your consent", though by force.

"poor waif in his underwear" is not an expression any US official would use, but it does happen to be a translation of an idiomatic russian phrase. Sounds like Hersh is getting duped by a Russian source pretending to be American

[Chris Hayes @chrislhayes]

honestly I did not start out this way, but I've absolutely come around to the view that he's just a weird dude who fell into lots of money despite himself

[Chris Derps @ChrisDerps]

Yeahhhh what's the payout rate

I spoke to Inner Mongolians who say the Chinese government is wiping out their culture.

Their families have been harassed by authorities, language classes shut down and land taken away.

Alan Davies news! He is no longer the person tweeting from @alandavies1. That is an imposter who is attempting to elicit donations in Bitcoin! Alan can’t regain control of the account due to the exciting new way Twitter is run. But you can now find him here: @alandaviescomic

Hi @Independent would you mind editing or removing this Facebook post, it suggests I’m the person in question and frankly the comments are disgusting.
