Hey #Sling #SlingTV, why am I paying ~$50/mo to not be able to watch TV?
FYI, I’m using #ProtonVPN on my router not to circumvent media deals or whatever TF your rules are, but to protect my family’s privacy from my ISP and fascist government. The VPN server I’m connected to is local, you just don’t like that you can’t track my viewing habits, I’m guessing.
Well fuck you then.

Years late and trillions of data points short.
Microsoft launching a "research project" to track AI data sources *now* is completely meaningless. The models are already trained on YOUR stolen data.
This is like robbing a bank and then "exploring" ways to return *some* of the cash... maybe. Pure theater. Don't fall for it.

This was really interesting and horrifying to read. It makes me want to buy a $20 burner smart phone for online shopping with a VPN.
But even scarier than the price gouging stuff, how do I know that Rite Aid didn’t sell information about me they obtained from facial recognition software when I went into their store/pharmacy to the government? They know I’m disabled because I’m on Medicare and I’m younger than 65. My disability doesn’t involve my ability to walk around a store, but if yours does will Rite Aid tell the government that they have video of you walking for 10 minutes just fine? Will that mess with your disability review? Maybe, who would even know?
