#Webloc, a global #geolocation #surveillance system developed by #Cobwebs Technologies and now sold by #Penlink, monitors hundreds of millions of people using data from #consumerapps and #digitaladvertising. The system, sold as an add-on to the Tangles intelligence system, provides access to location data from up to 500 million mobile devices. https://citizenlab.ca/research/analysis-of-penlinks-ad-based-geolocation-surveillance-tech/?eicker.news #tech #media #news

Feeling a bit tired today. A bit slow, a touch methodical.

Chilled dew lit up the spiderwebs though, and I spotted both a birds nest fungi and an actual bird's nest! Nourishing discoveries, both.

Cheers friends.

Halloween horror and entangled wildlife

"There’s been carnage in the suburbs, as Australians once again embrace a tradition of hanging plastic spider webs to celebrate Halloween.... A distressed kookaburra “gave up” on life after becoming entangled, while a world away in an outback town, a honeyeater was discovered hanging from a tree by a string of fluorescent orange web."

"The Tucson Police Department has deployed a controversial AI-powered surveillance tool that is also being used by Immigration and Customs Enforcement to scour social media, track locations and much more, according to documents obtained by the Arizona Mirror.

In August 2023, the Tucson Police Department signed a 28-month contract with Cobwebs Technologies for its “Tangles Open-Source Intelligence” software. The police department then sent a request to the Arizona Department of Emergency and Military Affairs to get reimbursed from the state’s Border Security Fund.

In the reimbursement document, which the Electronic Frontier Foundation received in response to a public records request and provided to the Mirror, TPD requested the state reimburse it $277,500.23 for the purchase and installation of the software."

Another early morning ruck. #rucking #walking #hiking #mentalhealth #keepmoving #cobwebs

The other day when I finally got around to cleaning the computer out, and literally the cobwebs, I wondered to myself wtf spider is the one that always makes webs inside the case and is never seen. I think I might have found the subject. I just saw it crawling along but after taking the photos I noticed there was a random array of the fine webs on another loop of cable above this that look like what was inside.

After hot sunshine for two days it's very autumnal today with cobwebs and mist. #autumn #cobwebs

@Schubertsworld agreed Israel has software that spies on your Facebook , Instagram and WhatsApp which can extract personal details like last location. They also sell it to US law enforcement. 😐

Look, I just went down an admittedly shallow rabbit-hole, but from what I can tell, The Internet is wrong about something. The reality is this:

SPIDERWEBS are made by spiders.
COB WEBS are made by dust flying around and sticking to other dust in corners.
