So it turns out the recently charged discord leak suspect was repeatedly caught mishandling classified info, rifling through documents that had nothing to do with his job, and all he ever seemed to get were warnings. One has to wonder how many times were they planning on turning a blind eye to him abusing his access before they finally handed out real consequences.

If the NSA is in your threat model, putting a cover over your webcam won't be enough. They have many other ways of peering into the dark recesses of your life.

I think a lot of people would be willing if it meant they could get to their destination on time without missing any flights.

Somebody is exceptionally lucky to still be alive after being shot at 47 times, with 9 actually hitting him. I'm glad he survived, of course, so this is a happy fail; but it also illustrates how terrible some cops (deputies in this case) are at their job. If their trigger fingers are that itchy and their aim is that bad, the argument could be made that they shouldn't be carrying guns at all because they're a menace to the public. So much for being highly trained professionals.

Considering cookies are one of the technologies that allow you to be tracked online, maybe you should be a little more discerning about which sites you accept cookies from.

Clearview AI, the biometric surveillance company everyone loves to hate because they add you to their system without your consent, is apparently ignoring French regulators trying to call it to heel over violations of the European Union's GDPR. While they haven't paid the fines yet, they're now going to be growing by the day, and the EU has already thrown out existing data transfer arrangements with the US over GDPR violations (like the Cambridge Analytica scandal) in the past.

It probably shouldn't come as any great surprise that Twitter's new encrypted DMs are a mess. When you consider everything that's been going on at Twitter for the last several months, and also how difficult it is to get encryption right, it stands to reason that they may not really have the right talent for it anymore.
Not that that helps the users at all. If you're a high risk user you should probably treat Twitter's encrypted DMs as though they're not encrypted. If you aren't a high risk user, then you should probably treat them as if they're giving you a false sense of security.

It seems that once upon a time America actually appreciated and valued the idea of privacy. If people want to make America great again, they should go back to that.
