    “Women leaving the beach, going into a shop, or simply standing outside are now being approached by men usually wearing #Meta's #RayBans, the company's #smart or #AIGlasses, often in order to film the women's responses to casual questions or pick-up lines without their knowledge or consent. The women only find out about the videos of them after they gain traction, and often abuse, online”

  7. Congress members join protest against ‘#oligarch’s dinner’ for #Trump thrown by Ellisons

    Paramount Skydance CEO fetes administration as it weighs $110bn merger with CNN parent WarnerBros Discovery

    Jeremy Barr in Washington
    Thu 23 Apr 2026 20.43 EDT

    "Dozens of protesters, including members of Congress, gathered along the National Mall on Thursday to protest an 'intimate' dinner being held by #ParamountSkydance’s chief executive, #DavidEllison, 'in celebration of the first amendment' and 'honoring the Trump White House and CBS White House correspondents', and attended by Donald Trump.

    "Paramount has faced criticism for the dinner, which has been seen by some as illustrative of the cozy relationship between the #Ellisons and the White House – right as the Trump administration is weighing whether to approve the company’s $110bn merger with CNN parent company #WarnerBrosDiscovery (#WBD). The dinner comes before Saturday’s White House correspondents’ dinner, which Trump will attend. His defense secretary, #PeteHegseth, is expected to sit at one of the many tables bought by CBS News for the event.

    "Earlier Thursday, WBD shareholders voted 'overwhelmingly' to approve the merger, which will still require approval from the Department of Justice and European regulators.

    "The US representative Jamie Raskin, who has been vocal in his criticism of the Ellisons’ ownership of CBS News, referred to the event as 'a lavish oligarch’s dinner for Donald Trump'.

    " 'We’re gathered here together tonight [because] in the building behind us, David Ellison is hosting a dinner to honor President Trump, a dinner that’s designed to cement the Ellisons to the president in their years-running corrupt merger scheme,' Raskin said."

    #Greed is a wonderful thing for an #oligarch. So, you kill a few thousand, destroy a country, support a #dictator, so what? That's just the price of more #profit.

    Mastodon is a haven in comparison. But let us test the assumption:

    *clears throat*

    #Brexit was solely for the purpose of letting #British #elites do a bit of money laundering, insider trading and taking bribes from #Russian and #Saudi elites at the expense of British economy, stability and democracy.

  11. #Oligarch linked to bribery paid #PrinceAndrew £15m for mansion

    James Oliver, Will Dahlgreen and
    Andy Verity,

    "#AndrewMountbattenWindsor received millions of pounds from an oligarch using funds from a firm implicated in criminal corruption, a BBC investigation has found.

    "#Kazakh #billionaire #TimurKulibayev has told the BBC through his lawyers that he used a loan from a company called #EnviroPacific Investments to help him buy Andrew's former mansion.

    "Prosecutors in Italy concluded that the firm had received cash from a bribery scheme in 2007.

    "Weeks after the last of these payments was made, the oligarch bought #SunninghillPark in Berkshire from the then prince for £15m - with the help of funds from Enviro Pacific.

    "Kulibayev is the son-in-law of Kazakhstan's then-president and was one of the most influential officials in the central Asian country's #OilAndGas industry. The BBC has also learned that, in another case, an Italian businessman pleaded guilty to bribing the oligarch."

Note well that #Musk and #Trump are significant stakeholders in #Exxon and #Texaco #USPolitics .

  24. Weekly output: Boost Mobile, AI at BT, digital privacy, Elon Musk’s X agenda, Salt Typhoon breaches T-Mobile

    I have more than enough practice at traveling to the other side of the Atlantic, but this week’s trip to Lisbon for Web Summit had me sandbagged by jet lag almost every night. It appears that I never got my head into Western European Time, to judge from my not feeling wiped out in a “do not operate heavy machinery” way after I got home Friday night.

    11/11/2024: Boost Mobile Touts 5G Network Progress, Adds Sub-$100 5G Phone to Lineup, PCMag

    The advance copies of Boost’s PR materials were vague about some key points, but the carrier’s press rep did get back to me to clarify that the $10 billion network-buildout expense shared in them was a total estimate, not a forecast of costs to come.

    11/12/2024: Will Gen AI generate value for the corporate landscape?, Web Summit

    My first panel at this conference had me interviewing Alex Bell, BT’s digital director of service, and Michael Park, a senior vice president and global head of AI go-to-market at ServiceNow, about how the former company had enlisted the latter to put AI to work in some important IT and customer-service systems.

    11/12/2024: Secure swipe: protecting customer data, Web Summit

    My second and final panel–fewer than I usually field at this conference–put me on stage with Brittany Kaiser, the Cambridge Analytica whistleblower turned Own Your Data advocate, and Marcus Räder, founder and CEO of the lodging-services firm Hostaway, to discuss how companies collect and keep data and how they would be better off not hoarding so much customer information.

    11/14/2024: ‘Things Are Different for Elon’: Who Needs X When You Have Political Power?, PCMag

    I only wrote up one Web Summit panel for PCMag, but it was a very good one: New York Times reporters Kate Conger and Ryan Mac talking about Elon Musk’s chaotic takeover of Twitter. They went beyond their recount of that in their book Character Limit: How Elon Musk Destroyed Twitter to discuss our new oligarch-in-chief’s privileged perch in Donald Trump’s circles.

    11/16/2024: Chinese State-Sponsored ‘Salt Typhoon’ Hackers Also Breached T-Mobile, PCMag

    I usually try to avoid writing posts on the weekend, but a) this was news that had gone uncovered at my client and b) I had written less than usual over the rest of the week and c) I have bills coming that aren’t going to pay themselves.
