US current politics will be a true test of American capitalism as profits and losses shift dramatically over the next few months. Corporations will need to hold the government accountable should profits fall. Deregulation seems enticing, until it backfires and profits tank. Shareholders beware.

US attorneys must look at all 922 pages of the 2025 Manifest of Leadership to see the future and find choke points to preclude legal success. That doc began w/ Reagan, just tweaked by Heritage for 2025. Predicting the next legal moves is clutch, & the citations are already there to argue against.

What does a constitutional crisis look like? Read section 7. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Will the strength of our judicial system bear the weight or crack and crumble? The more cases, the better www.eff.org/press/releas...

As is often the case, another judicial decision, one of major consequence, hinges on one word. This time it's "jeopardy"

how ironic it will be when the next presidential immunity case gets to the Supreme Court, which can't wait to grant Cert, and in one magical opinion precedent will matter again

If you're a cyber security professional, some might say hacker, sharpen your pencils. mmw, there are going to be so many vulns in this new federal 'system'.

@mcuban.bsky.social IAAL. 1st things I always read r privacy policy & TOS. It didn't take 10 minutes to go thru DeepSeek's. If u 👀 @ 'where we store your info' in priv pol, notice the space btwn the last word of the 2nd sentence & the period? Plain English That one sentence is all that matters

If you read the privacy policy, you do know where the data goes. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

FYI if you were early to Bluesky, 2FA is available but you need to Enable it

Branch Metrics, Apptentive, Adobe, New Relic, Google, Salesforce, Mixpanel, Urban Airship, just to name a few, get so much personal data from apps, often including gps coordinates and first and last name. What is the unique identifier doing, or not doing, in those cases?

under water data cables will be, if not already are, a major battleground worthy of warfare levels of protection, but are so vast in reach that said protection at full scale is nearly impossible, which provides a ripe space for mass under water target surveillance technology development

Database reconstruction theorem and attacks fascinate me

Spamouflage is a real issue, especially during election cycles

Homomorphic encryption as a solution for the tension between law enforcement's need for data and citizens' privacy? abcnews.go.com/US/criminals... I wonder what @meredithmeredith.bsky.social thinks about this?

Our data is no longer points that need to be connected like dots. Our data is now like lines that intersect with each other which together create a much more detailed image of our identity. It was one thing to control the individual points. Now it's a different battle to control all the lines.

exit page data analysis, which most privacy policies allow, is very, very valuable

QR codes continue to be a problem as an easy vector for infection. There is little to keep a bad actor from presenting seemingly legit uses of a QR code, such as a gift receipt or restaurant menu. Being cautious, dare one say 'healthy paranoid', is not an option but a necessity for staying safe.

Anything can be art when viewed from an interesting angle
