Our FOIA lawsuit obtained documents showing the Dept. of Homeland Security uses fake social media accounts to surveil people — with insufficient protections for Americans’ privacy rights.

Apple's statement is the death knell for the idea that it's possible to scan everyone's comms AND preserve privacy.

Apple has many of the best cryptographers + software eng on earth + infinite $.

If they can't, no one can. (They can't. No one can.)

"I thought ChatGPT was a search engine".

It is NOT a search engine. Nor, by the way are the version of it included in Bing or Google's Bard.

My heart breaks for trans kids and their families in Alabama, where a felony ban on gender-affirming care took effect at midnight last night. We face a national threat from a movement that wants to dictate if and when you have children as well as how you raise them.
