"They found the analytics control and other privacy settings had no obvious effect on Apple’s data collection—the tracking remained the same whether iPhone Analytics was switched on or off.
“The level of detail is shocking for a company like Apple,” Mysk told Gizmodo."
WTF!?
"An independent test suggests Apple collects data about you and your phone when its own settings promise to “disable the sharing of Device Analytics altogether.”"
New Research Says
Apple Is Tracking You Even When Its Own Privacy Settings Say It’s Not
"For all of Apple’s talk about how private your iPhone is, the company vacuums up a lot of data about you. iPhones do have a privacy setting that is supposed to turn off that tracking. According to a new report by independent researchers, though, Apple collects extremely detailed information on you with its own apps even when you turn off tracking, an apparent direct contradiction of Apple’s own description of how the privacy protection works."

Wealthy people making decision to maximize profits is bad enough but wealthy people making decisions without any intention of them being profitable is arguably worse.

“Elon Musk admitted to his biographer that the reason the Hyperloop was announced—even tho he had no intention of pursuing it—was to try to disrupt the California high-speed rail project to get in the way of that actually succeeding.” — #ParisMarx #Gizmodo

#SquidGame #Cryptocurrency Scammers Make Off With $2.1 Million

The anonymous hucksters behind a Squid Game cryptocurrency have officially pulled the rug on the project, making off with an estimated $2.1 million. Remember on Friday morning when #Gizmodo told you it was an obvious #scam? It was only obvious because investors could purchase the crypto but couldn’t sell it. But plenty of people didn’t get the #warning in time.

Further empty Glenn Greenwald apologia for Parler proving entirely false
Gizmodo put paid Greenwald's unfounded assertions.
Greenwald tweeted:
Do you know how many of the people arrested in connection with the Capitol invasion were active users of Parler?
Zero.
https://twitter.com/ggreenwald/status/1348619731734028293
Noting his highly-conditioned and narrowly-scoped criteria (arrests are ongoing, and few to date), data obtained directly from Parler puts multiple members directly at the scene of the coup:
At least several users of the far-right social network Parler appear to be among the horde of rioters that managed to penetrate deep inside the U.S. Capitol building and into areas normally restricted to the public, according to GPS metadata linked to videos posted to the platform the day of the insurrection in Washington.
The data, obtained by a computer hacker through legal means ahead of Parler’s shutdown on Monday, offers a bird’s eye view of its users swarming the Capitol grounds after receiving encouragement from President Trump — and during a violent breach that sent lawmakers and Capitol Hill visitors scrambling amid gunshots and calls for their death. GPS coordinates taken from 618 Parler videos analyzed by Gizmodo has already been sought after by FBI as part of a sweeping nationwide search for potential suspects, at least 20 of whom are already in custody.

Greenwald is simply fabulating at this point.
Get this boy an editor. Or mental help.
