Seeing reports that Huawei is censoring posts about the #A4Revolution in #China, automatically deleting photos from phones w/o informing users. (https://twitter.com/MsMelChen/status/1597807914395500545)
This is why privacy advocates criticized #Apple for trying to launch a feature last year to scan all photos on user devices—before they’re uploaded to iCloud.
Even if the feature is developed for good purposes (like stopping CSAM), the risks to #privacy are dangerous.

Inför en kommande studie genomför vi nu en pilotstudie där vi prövar olika frågor som handlar om åsikter, kunskaper och uppfattningar kring samhälle och politik, till exempel var man skulle placera sig på en politisk vänster-högerskala och vilka uppfattningar man har om brottslighet och invandring.
Att delta i pilotstudien tar bara cirka 10 minuter, och all information hanteras anonymt. Jag vore tacksam om så många som möjligt kunde delta i denna pilotstudie.
The Biopinion, in Biophotonics Nov-Dec 2022 issue, discusses the problem "Medical research has a long, unfortunate track record of excluding ethnic and racial minority groups from clinical trials... [...] This has led to increased morbidity and mortality in minority groups. [...] We found that industry-sponsored trials (as opposed to investigator-initiated ones) were significantly less likely to include people of color than non-industry-sponsored trials." USA study.

I installed Linux Mint operating system with full disc encryption. To do that, I must also choose between LVM and ZFS. I selected LVM as I have used that before and has worked without any issue. But maybe the ZFS file system (I suppose that means instead of eg ext4) would have more benefits, but then I have to learn it. What would be your choice and why? #Linux #LinuxMint #LVM #ZFS #encryption #fileSystem https://www.hemrin.com/walking-to-linux/369-installation-linux-mint-21-advanced-options

When you fire most of your content moderation teams, it becomes quite difficult to fight bots or for Twitter to be a truthful source of news about an important protest movement. Just sayin'.
