Edward Snowden said it the best:
"When you say 'I don't care about the right to privacy because I have nothing to hide,' that's no different than saying 'I don't care about freedom of speech because I have nothing to say.'"
"Simply because you are following the law, doesn't mean that you'll be exempt from governmental interference in your private life."
Your AI is using your company's data and learning from how you use it.
Every prompt, document, spreadsheet, and customer record can become part of your AI workflow if you don't have clear governance.
Before your team uses AI, ask five questions:
What data is shared?
Where is it processed?
Is it used to train models?
Who can access it?
How long is it retained?
Companies that govern AI will outperform companies that simply adopt AI.
ANCA's Elizabeth Chouldjian to @AlphaNewsAM [in Armenian]: Azerbaijan's release of hostages, the safe return of Artsakh's displaced population, and withdrawal of occupying forces from Armenia's sovereign territory are not bargaining chips - these are preconditions for real peace.
Full breakdown on the House Foreign Affairs Committee's July 22nd vote demanding Azerbaijan release Armenian hostages: https://t.co/JZbb7VZZnk
Forty-four to seven.
To free Armenian hostages.
That was the vote this week in the US House Foreign Affairs Committee.
To pass a bipartisan measure – pushed by Congressman Brad Sherman and backed by Chairman Brian Mast.
The good news is that a solid majority of Republicans and Democrats got it right – over 85%.
That’s a tribute to your work – educating legislators.
Because of you, Members of Congress know what a real peace requires.
That Azerbaijan releasing hostages represents a basic obligation under international law.
A core requirement, a necessary precondition, of peace
Not an Azerbaijani bargaining chip to force yet more unilateral Armenian concessions.
That’s true as well for the safe return of Armenian refugees to Artsakh
The withdrawal of Azerbaijani occupation forces from Armenian territory
And the protection of Armenian heritage and our Christian holy sites
The bad news is that seven of them got it wrong.
We’ve taken a strong step forward. But we’ve got a long road ahead.
We won’t rest until our hostages are home.
Join with the ANCA in holding Azerbaijan accountable and strengthening Armenian security – online, in your communities, and in Washington, DC.
Biggest loophole in the AI act remains intact: “… It lists the exceptions where national authorities remain competent”.
It means ~authorities can do anything the act forbids, including prohibited and high risk systems.

BREAKING: House Foreign Affairs Committee Calls for Azerbaijan’s Immediate Release of Armenian Hostages
- ANCA-Backed Sherman Amendment to H.R. 9087 Adopted by Full Committee by Vote of 44-7
“The Committee did the right thing. Azerbaijan’s release of Armenian hostages, the safe return of Artsakh refugees, and the withdrawal of Azerbaijani occupation forces from Armenian territory – these are preconditions for peace, non-negotiable requirements of any durable settlement – not bargaining chips for Baku to force yet more unilateral Armenian concessions.” - ANCA Executive Director Aram Hamparian
ARIZONA ARMENIANS: Contact Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) about his cruel vote AGAINST Azerbaijan releasing Christian Armenian hostages (1,000+ days in captivity).
Call (202) 225-2635
Post @RepAndyBiggsAZ
FYI: Biggs is running for governor of Arizona this November.
“Peace” but without mentioning release of Armenian hostages illegally held in Azerbaijan, end of Azerbaijan's occupation of Armenia's sovereign territory, right of Armenians of Artsakh/Nagorno-Karabakh to return home safely, & protection of Armenian religious & cultural heritage.

A new study found VITAMIN C + GRAPE SEED EXTRACT shrunk cancerous tumors BETTER than one of the strongest chemotherapies in existence WITHOUT destroying the body.
In animal models:
✅Vit C + GSE (non-toxic): 77% tumor reduction
🚫Doxorubicin ("RED DEVIL"): 69% tumor reduction
