Back in January, I requested a copy of my personal data from Comcast. It took them months, but they finally got back to me.I'm going through the zip file now. It's a pile of poorly documented CSVs. Below, they show data from a data broker about how often I vote.Why the fuck does my Internet provider have information about how often I vote?

@thenewoil "KFF Health News and The Markup also found Rite Aid sending the names of patients’ specific prescriptions to Facebook." I hope they're sued for every penny they're worth.

“Google says it received a record 60,472 search warrants in the US last year”. We need to reign in geofence and search history warrants.https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2023-09-28/google-user-data-is-police-s-top-shortcut-for-solving-crimes#xj4y7vzkg

@debacle @Linux XMPP is dramatically less secure and private than Signal even when used with OMEMO. It leaks profile data, contacts, group membership, etc. Signal protects all of these things. It’s bad advice to use XMPP.
