U.S. abortion ruling reversal sparks calls for privacy laws
Cyberscoop: This week saw the U.S. Supreme Court overturn Roe v. Wade, ending guarantees that protect a person’s constitutional right to have an abortion. The ramifications are huge — economically, socially, medically, and in terms of human rights alone — for over a hundred million people living in the United States. That’s made the need for a privacy law more urgent; the U.S. is left far behind most other Western democracies, since there are reasonable fears that data — including from period trackers — can be now used as evidence against people. Tech companies have been left scrambling to figure out what the overturning of Wade means for their employees, which matters because in the U.S. healthcare is tied (inexplicably) to employment, though much of Big Tech has remained largely silent about the ruling itself (even Apple, which says “Privacy is a fundamental human right,” has said nothing.) And now there’s renewed focus on what data tech companies collect, especially in light of @motherboard‘s reporting into the sale of location data that can identify people seeking abortions. As EFF’s director of cybersecurity @evacide notes, if companies don’t want their data turned into dragnets, “Don’t have it for sale. Don’t have it when a subpoena arrives.”

US defence contractor in talks to take over NSO Group’s hacking technology Stephanie Kirchgaessner
The US defence contractor L3Harris is in talks to take over NSO Group’s surveillance technology, in a possible deal that would give an American company control over one of the world’s most sophisticated and controversial hacking tools.
Multiple sources confirmed that discussions were centred on a sale of the Israeli company’s core technology – or code – as well as a possible transfer of NSO personnel to L3Harris. But any agreement still faces significant hurdles, including requiring the blessing of the US and Israeli governments, which have not yet given the green light to a deal.
Spyware threatens everyone’s right to free expression
The use of spyware and surveillance tools has been described as ‘the most serious crisis in civil society’. As part of the ARTICLE 19’s Boundaries of Expression series, Jo Glanville explains why these technologies not only threaten the journalists, activists, politicians, and lawyers who are targeted, it has an impact on everyone’s right to free expression.
BITCOIN IS NOT PRIVATE
NOT FINANCIAL ADVICE
Michael Saylor
“I thought I was late to #bitcoin, but apparently not.
Every full Bitcoiner (1 BTC) will be a millionaire in the next few years. Imagine swapping $21,000 today for a $1,000,000 plus later. That’s a great exchange right? Thought of another way, $1,000,000 in a few years costs $21,000 today. Everyone should have this goal.
