Hello #Massachusetts peeps! FYI, an MA law prohibiting junk fees and other annoying and predatory practices goes into effect today in the commonwealth.
Merchants are now required to tell you all fees and the total cost up-front, before you provide any personal information.
There are also rules for transparency regarding online subscriptions.
See the article below or do a news search for "Massachusetts junk fees" for additional details.

Weekly output: wireless-service satisfaction, ransomware survey, Dashlane report, Verizon fee increases, drone policy
I had one work event on my calendar this week that I don’t think rates as an appearance worth listing here, since I got roped into it at the last minute. I’d put the Internet Law & Policy Foundry’s tech-law trivia contest on my schedule Wednesday thinking it would be fun to watch, but then one of the contestants asked if I’d like to join their team–and we finished in third place. This was one of the first public trivia contests I’d joined since 1987, when I was a member of the high school team that won a New Jersey state championship, and it’s nice to see that I still have it or at least some of it.
This coming week has me traveling for work for the first time since the middle of June and to an event that first landed on my travel calendar in 2018: I’m headed to Las Vegas for the Black Hat information-security conference. The trip doesn’t include the DEF CON infosec conference that follows Black Hat, and on Patreon I explained why I opted out of that and feel a little guilty about it.
7/31/2025: People Like Wireless Service Best When It Doesn’t Involve the Big 3 Carriers, PCMag
The gap betweeen J.D. Power’s customer-satisfaction stats for the big three wireless carriers and that firm’s metrics for companies reselling the networks of AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon caught my eye.
8/1/2025: Ransomware Victims Are Still Paying Up, Some More Than Once, PCMag
This survey published by the security firm Semperis got an unfortunate news peg when the Trump administration rescinded the West Point department-chair appointment of one of the report’s expert contributors, former Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Administration head Jen Easterly.
8/1/2025: This Password Manager Caught Some of Its Own Employees Not Using Its Product, PCMag
Dashlane’s PR folks offered me this story ahead of time. Since I have always found the fallible-human element of information security to be fascinating, I accepted the offer, and then my editors concurred.
8/1/2025: Months After Freezing Wireless Rates But Not Fees, Verizon Slips in a Fee Increase, PCMag
One of my colleagues brought this to my attention, and I was happy to set aside some time Friday morning to cover it.
8/2/2025: The Drone Industry Can’t Wait for This One Federal Regulation to Take Off, PCMag
I spent Tuesday and Wednesday at Nationals Park to cover a drone-policy conference hosted there by the trade group AUVSI, but I didn’t get around to writing it until Thursday night.

Here's your California Legislature voting...in overwhelmingly bipartisan fashion...to allow car dealers to pick your pocket with more #JunkFees.
I'll save you the read and share the relevant part here:
"The California New Car Dealers Association has donated at least $2.9 million to lawmakers since 2015"The article also has a handy table showing how reps voted, alongside the amount of money they've taken from the industry. Plenty of cowardly "No Vote Recorded" entries in there too...

CW: re: ptpol digital
O capítulo de soberania digital sofreu uma evolução positiva no número e detalhe de medidas. São 21 pontos, que tentarei aqui enumerar sem estar a replicar o texto: direito à internet, internet sem censura, encriptação, #netneutrality, #routerfreedom, #privacidade, direito ao esquecimento, incentivo (em que formato?) à interoperabilidade e migração entre plataformas, dar força à Lei das Normas Abertas, não à #vigilância e à #discriminação, combate à #desinformação e discurso de #ódio.
Querem rever a transposição da diretiva de direitos de autor (para as exceções de TDM *na investigação* [no ano passado era para todos], e artigos 15º e 17º). Querem "expandir a cláusula de fair use", só que não há clausula nenhuma, não há fair use na europa...
Defendem #PublicMoneyPublicCode, redes descentralizadas (#fediverso ?), rever os #artigo15 e #artigo17 da directiva de direitos de autor, "garantir o acesso às aplicações da Administração Pública a todos os cidadãos sem discriminação a um determinado fornecedor ou plataforma", ensinar métodos e técnicas em vez de software específico, interoperabilidade obrigatória e fazer um levantamento da actual situação de vendor lock-in.
Preocupam-se com os direitos, possibilidades de discriminação e insegurança advindos da #IA e #IoT, combatem as #JunkFees.
