Orange County Court says Kars4Kids can no longer run its jingle ads in California, after a lawsuit alleging that donations do not go to underprivileged CA kids but instead to funding trips to Israel for Orthodox Jewish 17/18yos in New York and New Jersey.
For the record, Memorial Stadium was dedicated and named for the 112 University of Missouri students and alumni who died fighting for our country in World War I. #MIZ
Incredibly stupid move by Meta, even more so given the upcoming midterms. This should blow back in every way possible. Big Tech is antithetical to a well functioning democracy.
Credit to Jacob for putting this together. It's very helpful.
But also.... maybe leagues and networks shouldn't make this so confusing to the point where a full 16-box flow chart is required to figure out how to watch baseball.
Ring paid somewhere between $8 and $10 million for a 30-second Super Bowl spot to tell 120 million viewers that their cameras now scan neighborhoods using AI.
The math is wild. Ring has roughly 20 million devices in American homes. Search Party is enabled by default. The opt-out rate on default settings in consumer tech is historically around 5%. So approximately 19 million cameras are now running AI pattern matching on anything that moves past your front door. Today the target is dogs. The same infrastructure already handles “Familiar Faces,” which builds biometric profiles of every person your camera sees, whether they know about it or not.
Ring settled with the FTC for $5.8 million after employees had unrestricted access to customers’ bedroom and bathroom footage for years. They’re now partnered with Flock Safety, which routes footage to local law enforcement. ICE has accessed Flock data through local police departments acting as intermediaries. Senator Markey’s investigation found Ring’s privacy protections only apply to device owners. If you’re a neighbor, a delivery driver, a passerby, you have no rights and no recourse.
This tells you everything about Amazon’s actual product. The customer paid for the camera. The customer pays the electricity. The customer pays the $3.99/month subscription. And Amazon gets a surveillance grid that would cost tens of billions to build from scratch, with an AI layer activated by default, and a law enforcement pipeline already connected.
They wrapped all of that in a lost puppy commercial because that’s the only version of this story anyone would willingly opt into.
A “fake American citizen?”
Didn’t you MOVE to Puerto Rico to avoid paying your taxes while kids across America go hungry?
Meanwhile Benito actually funds low income kids’ access to arts and sports programs, while you defund them.
Of course you’re mad. He makes you look small.
When I lived in San Francisco and traveled for work, people in other states would act horrified when I said I was in from SF. Meanwhile I’m in Birmingham, AL which has a significantly higher violent crime rate. People consume whatever fits their own bias.
What if I told you California’s beaches are cleaner and safer because of numerous state and local government regulations reducing pollution and development?
These environmental policies require taxes and fees.
The US is quietly deporting Palestinians arrested by ICE to the West Bank using a private jet belonging to Trump’s friend, an American-Israeli billionaire.
Two deportation flights using the jet in the past two weeks suggest a dramatic shift in policy.
Me, @Ghousoon & @guardian.
“If you give more tax cuts to corporations, those corporations will create more jobs,” is the lie politicians who are funded by corporations tell people to justify giving their corporate donors more tax cuts.
Trump’s corporate and billionaire tax cuts create profits — not jobs.
