The trouble is that like all its competitors, #MySpace will likely collect data from its users and sell it to the highest bidder.
The fact that “privacy” isn’t even mentioned in any of the so called rumours (which in fact are deliberate leaks) should tell us everything.
So, no. Nothing to get excited about. New launch same tactics.

When stopped by Police Sargent Drone, step away from the car and put hands in the air! <joke> 😃
Drone as a First Responder - DFR! DFR programs are exploding across the USA.
As of Feb 2026, over 1,000 public safety agencies—police, fire, emergency management agencies, have received Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) waivers needed to automate drone operations and launch a DFR program.
Concerns re invasion of privacy and the safety of "automated" flight operations are being flagged already.

The spirit of #EMFCamp lives on...
While walking along the #archives conference hotel rooms corridor, I wondered if the impact report could include how many attendees opted out of daily housekeeping for #sustainability reasons. Or perhaps it may also be an #introvert thing.

CW: Data collection
Box Tops for Education is now Box Tops for Data Collection and education funding is a side benefit. This means that privacy-conscious people have to choose between getting their data from what they buy taken and helping with funding for their schools.

We will be present at VLCTechFest this Saturday to talk about the problems caused by the massive data collections made by companies and States, and their impacts on our daily lives and democratises.
The talk will be given by @Skyper, and its description is as follows:
"But I Have Nothing To Hide! Or How Big Techs and States made you believe so
Data collection has become something that is hard to avoid in our modern societies. From telemetry to sensible personal data, many companies and even state actors rely on it for carrying out their operations. But is it really an issue? After all, I have nothing to hide.
What if I tell you that women were persecuted in the USA because they played to Candy Crush or used Tinder, and that their location data were sold to law enforcement which now criminalises people going to abortion clinics in some states? Or that it isn’t that difficult to figure out the real identity of spies with publicly sold data for little money? And when the data isn’t already available, state actors don’t hesitate to hack their own population, including in democratic countries like France and Spain.
Data collection has tangible impacts on our societies and democracies. Whether it’s for making business profits or controlling its own population while weakening adversary countries, the goal is the same: control. And with the current AI trend, data collection is reaching unprecedented highs.
So, what can we do about it in 2026? Thankfully, many technical and legal solutions exist, and we all have a role to play in it. Whether you are an entrepreneur, someone involved into the creation of a software, or a simple user, your choices can have a positive impact."
It is a free event, so come join us if you can!

Fact of the Day: Did you know 'ZoneAlarm' (the PC 'security' suite) is made and run from Israel?
ZoneAlarm, which is listed as "Number 1 Security Suite" in a Google search, is owned by 'Check Point Software Technologies Ltd', an Israeli based company in Tel Aviv. It recently spent $600 million to market their products to people (results from Google) -
- Marketing Spend: As of 2025, Check Point reported substantial investments in "Selling and Marketing" to drive its Infinity Platform and AI-driven security solutions.
- In previous fiscal years (e.g., 2022), the company's "Selling and Marketing" expenses were over $600 million. While this figure covers sales team salaries, events, and other marketing activities, search engine advertising is also a part of this budget.
"search engine advertising is also a part of this budget", so google is being paid to recommend this software to you as "number 1" despite it's many controversies over the years from illegal data collection to scare tactic campaigns.
Check Point Software bought the rights to ZoneAlarm on March 29th 2004, from the Wiki;
- "As of January 2006, ZoneAlarm was reportedly sending data to the company's servers in a covert fashion. A developer dismissed allegations that ZoneAlarm was spying on its clients, saying that it was an issue related to software updates and that it would be fixed."
- "On September 2, 2010, the free version of ZoneAlarm started showing a 'Global Virus Alert' popup as a scareware tactic to get users to switch to their paid security suite. The popup was turned off by ZoneAlarm marketing team after an uproar from disgruntled users, many of whom uninstalled the software."

So the question remains: Are you really ok with having Israel access your data and monitor your activity on and offline if you currently have it installed?
TinyWall is a far better firewall option which is opensource, low system resource usage, no data collection and no telemetry, and because it's open source you can even download and read through the code if you really want to. 👍

A quotation from Arthur Conan Doyle
I have no data yet. It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts.
Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930) British writer and physician
Story (1891-07), “A Scandal in Bohemia,” ch. 1 [Holmes], The Strand Magazine, Vol. 2, No. 1More about this quote: wist.info/doyle-arthur-conan/5…

Listen, here's the #SiliconValley agenda for #AI:
* Race to #MonopolyByDefault (everyone wants to usurp #Google's throne)
* Increase #DataCollection, #Tracking, #Profiling tenfold by having users WILLINGLY give away their financial information
* Sell said data, manipulate markets with it and generally do a bit of mass- AND targeted psychological manipulation
* Sell the systems to #authoritarian states to form a #SurveillanceState
* Eventually build the same at homehttps://www.theverge.com/ai-artificial-intelligence/923684/musk-brockman-altman-openai-trial
