A coworker brought up LinkedIn Learning; my only recent referent for that has been some Facebook ads telling me I might be entitled to financial compensation if I'd used it. Just looked up what that's about: www.courthousenews.com/judge-advanc...
Judge advances data privacy class action against LinkedIn
The judge rejected LinkedIn's argument that no one would have been able to sift through the amount of data shared and so privacy wasn't violated.

I read a book called IBM and the Holocaust and let me tell you, this goes nowhere good. Nazis used innocently-collected census data long after the fact to find people, and we are long past "it can't happen here." Census data privacy IS ESSENTIAL TO OUR SAFETY.
And this is where the evil of autocracy strikes.
No, Plantir isn't enough, they want to use the census for nefarious reasons - from apprehending folks to changing the congressional seats allocated.
Once they have such data, manipulation will happen.
Stop them. 😡

The Republican Plan to Reform the Census Could Put Everyone’s Privacy at Risk
A little-known algorithmic process called “differential privacy” helps keep census data anonymous. Conservatives want it gone.

Registered with a city platform to put a comment on upcoming council motion and the email went to my spam folder due to a DMARC failure, so now I'm emailing a bunch of people at the city to get them to make their vendor fix it. Email geek civic busybody mode: engage!

DMARC is a goal and then a maintenance practice. Orgs need to be prepared to maintain DMARC compliance as part of their regular audit and security. You wouldn't let all your former employees keep active logins and keys to the office, right?? So don't continue authorizing old vendors, either!
What Happens After p=reject? No matter where you are in your DMARC deployment project, it’s important to know that reaching a policy of p=reject marks the beginning of ongoing #DMARC maintenance and management: dmarcian.com/life-after-r... #EmailAuthentication #Cybersecurity

One of the reasons I love email and have made it the center of my career is that it is so flexible and extensible and, yes, irrepressible.
“Protocols, not platforms”, in part, explains why fascists haven’t tried to do a conservative takeover of email, *because no one entity owns email* lol.
You literally can’t stop or control email because it’s a protocol. If you could, spam would have been solved decades ago. You can’t “kill” email!!
