"Federal Grants (to local LE) Send Warzone Tech To USA Streets" To Tracking Wireless / Bluetooth Signals & More

(self driving tech also carries plenty to offer)

Yet another reminder: the very tech developed & many support for overseas use, eventually makes its way back home

No company calls it quits after war - they localize, lobby PD

#Apple recently introduced a new URI scheme so that #iOS users in the #EU can install marketplace apps from the browser. #Safari handles the scheme insecurely leaving users exposed to tracking.

It stands to reason that if you want to get a hold of a lot of data, which technically has value, your job would be the devalue said data as much as possible.

This is what happened to the #internet citc 2000, when #ads covered every single page like a plague of locusts. Your eyeball time was devalued.

Then, #Facebook basically devalued your personal information by making it normal to give all of it away.

Now Facebook wants $10 to remove ads, but not #tracking.
