Scoop: House Oversight is officially investigating military use of facial recognition, according to a letter sent to top military officials this year obtained by

Gotta say I respect the guy for getting out of his bubble, coming here to the very real place where I live, and talking to me, a real person. Would have been easy to just sit there in his gated D.C. house and make up some composite character that supports all his preconceptions.https://twitter.com/twopartysucks/status/1179954887909621760 …

Anyhow, I have to get back to my tattered community and talk to my broken family about complex issues like why urban and rural America are drifting further apart. But if I don't read at least 6 more hinterland safaris about Trump voters sticking with him, I'm sticking with him.

Hi it's me. I don't have the luxury of following Twitter all day because I'm too busy being actual and real. But I heard some of you cultural liberals have been doubting my existence so I'm just here to say I am definitely a real human and not a sockpuppet David just made up.

This is the same airline, same plane, same time, same exact flight from Philadelphia. Yet I have to pay American Airlines an extra $260 *not* to fly from Baltimore to Philadelphia first. If you can explain how this makes sense, I will buy you a cheesesteak *and* a crab cake.

Wanted to fly from Philadelphia to Columbus but the tickets were too expensive ($390). So then I check Baltimore to Columbus and it's a fraction of the price ($130). Great! But there's one downside: I have to make a connection. Guess where the flight connects through....pic.twitter.com/vt6jXICOng

To sum up: Yang claims his plan would treat data like private property, which would be a radical shift but also a dangerous one. Yang's actual plan would treat data basically the way CCPA does, which would be neither radical nor dangerous (but also not super-effective).

An important point here is that, while Yang's plan claims to make people's data their property, its actual proposals add up to something far less than that.pic.twitter.com/eQIv22t6LS

This
@cnet piece helpfully grounds the critique of Yang's plan in the specifics of our current tech moment—Alexa everywhere, predatory targeted ads, and the use of data for behavioral manipulation.https://www.cnet.com/news/andrew-yangs-privacy-proposal-sounds-great-but-could-be-awful/ …Show this threadThanks.

Here is a good thread on what's wrong with Yang's approach, and how its seemingly common-sense proposals might end up entrenching a broken system more than fixing it.https://twitter.com/LAM_Barrett/status/1179809977042493440 …

Here is Yang's plan: https://www.yang2020.com/policies/data-property-right/ … It lays out a number of rights which all sound logical enough at first glance. But study after study shows the context in which consumers make privacy decisions is antithetical to the sort of rational calculus this approach assumes.pic.twitter.com/hSIcH4MzCF

Andrew Yang's new privacy plan calls for treating online data as a property right, giving users clearer disclosures and more control over their info. But a growing body of research suggests this is a flawed model for privacy. I wrote about it last month:https://onezero.medium.com/how-much-is-your-privacy-really-worth-421796dd9220 …

This is a really sharp essay by
@David_P_Priest that is proximately about Andrew Yang's privacy plan but also about what privacy means in 2019 to tech companies, consumers, politicians and society.https://www.cnet.com/news/andrew-yangs-privacy-proposal-sounds-great-but-could-be-awful/ …Thanks.

"An EV is not better for the environment if you live in a coal-reliant area" is a myth that I am guilty of repeating, and recently learned that it's not true. https://twitter.com/stephenjudkins/status/1179823405920448512 …

Here is a Finnish game in which you play an entry-level social media troll who joins a disinfo campaign that's trying to sow anti-immigrant propaganda across social media. It's a jarring perspective to be put in that role.https://trollfactory.yle.fi/
