On a weekly basis Pete Weiss highlights articles and information that focus on the increasingly complex and wide ranging ways technology is used to compromise and diminish our privacy and online security, often without our situational awareness. Five highlights from this week: The DHS Is Using Google to Spy on People Who Criticize ICE, Even Outside the US; No, Grandma, Brad Pitt Isn’t Pitching Medicare on Facebook; Trump Says He Discussed ‘Standard’ AI Safety Guardrails With Xi.
