"“I’m here to tell you if you’ve ever been on a dating app that wanted your location, or if you ever granted a weather app permission to know where you are 24/7, there’s a good chance a detailed log of your precise movement patterns has been vacuumed up and saved in some data bank somewhere that tens of thousands of total strangers have access to,” writes Tau.
Unraveling the story of how these strangers—everyone from government intelligence agents and local law enforcement officers to private investigators and employees of ad tech companies—gained access to our personal information is the ambitious task Tau sets for himself, and he begins where you might expect: the immediate aftermath of 9/11.
At no other point in US history was the government’s appetite for data more voracious than in the days after the attacks, says Tau. It was a hunger that just so happened to coincide with the advent of new technologies, devices, and platforms that excelled at harvesting and serving up personal information that had zero legal privacy protections.
Over the course of 22 chapters, Tau gives readers a rare glimpse inside the shadowy industry, “built by corporate America and blessed by government lawyers,” that emerged in the years and decades following the 9/11 attacks. In the hands of a less skilled reporter, this labyrinthine world of shell companies, data vendors, and intelligence agencies could easily become overwhelming or incomprehensible. But Tau goes to great lengths to connect dots and plots, explaining how a perfect storm of business motivations, technological breakthroughs, government paranoia, and lax or nonexistent privacy laws combined to produce the “digital panopticon” we are all now living in."

Is it really true that I, as the person who posted something, cannot delete a #comment or #reply on that thing?
There's several individual replies on #posts of mine that I want to #delete, but I cannot see any way to do so, I've asked before with no #answers. This seems like a serious flaw on #Mastodon; what if someone added a malicious link, or incorrect/ dangerous instructions, on my post?

> Tech Companies Apparently Do Not Understand Why We Dislike AI
soatok.blog/2025/05/04/tech-co… by Dhole Moments.
Let us be blunt: it is NOT that they do not understand it. It IS that they DGAF whether we object or not; they are shoving it down our throats no matter what, and there are plenty of twatwaffles willing to embrace it. Still, piece is worth #reading.
Tech Companies Apparently Do Not Understand Why We Dislike AI - Dhole Moments
It’s becoming increasingly apparent that one of the reasons why tech companies are so enthusiastic about shoving AI into every product and service is that they fundamentally do not understand…Dhole Moments
Das Bild zeigt eine vierpanelige Komik, die in einem Klassenzimmer spielt. Der Hauptcharakter ist ein gelbes, humanoides Wesen mit einem runden Kopf und großen Augen. In den ersten beiden Panels sitzt das Wesen auf einem Stuhl und schaukt gelangweilt vor sich hin. Die anderen Schüler im Hintergrund sind ebenfalls gelb und wirken uninteressiert.
Im dritten Panel wird der Charakter plötzlich in eine dynamische Pose gebracht, mit weit aufgerissenen Augen und einem erschrockenen Gesichtsausdruck, während er auf dem Stuhl nach hinten rutscht. Der Hintergrund ist mit Strahlen um das Wesen herum, um die plötzliche Bewegung zu betonen.
Im vierten Panel sitzt das Wesen wieder aufrecht auf dem Stuhl, mit einem angespannten Gesichtsausdruck und Schweißperlen auf der Stirn, was auf die unerwartete Bewegung hinweist. Die anderen Schüler im Hintergrund bleiben unverändert.
Die Komik spielt auf die typische Situation in einer Klassenzimmer-Situation an, in der ein Schüler plötzlich aufsteht und die anderen überrascht reagiert.

in reply to 🚀🦍 | Arne | CodeNaga • • •The image shows a close-up view of a mixture of fruits in a glass container. The fruits include green gooseberries and red currants, along with some black berries, all submerged in a red liquid, likely juice. The gooseberries are oval-shaped with a translucent skin, revealing the seeds inside, while the currants are small and round. The liquid appears to be a mixture of the fruits' juices, giving it a rich, red color. The container has a glass surface with condensation, suggesting it might be in a cool environment or recently heated. The background is blurred, with hints of green and brown, possibly indicating a kitchen setting.
