Oh yes, because nothing says 'privacy' like a 7-minute diatribe about #KYC and phone usage 🤣. Clearly, the real threat to society is not the deluge of scam calls, but the audacity of the #FCC trying to make phone lines less like a minefield of fraud. Bravo, FCC, for daring to imagine a world where #robocalls aren't the highlight of our day! 📞💥

Weekly output: Craig Newmark + Count von Count, T-Mobile freebies, Android fake call detection, election security
I’m on my way to the other half of the world tonight–once again, I’m speaking at Web Summit Rio. This time the organizers (who as per our usual arrangement are picking up airfare and lodging) have me moderating four panels. All of them are about AI in some way, and two only got added to my schedule this weekend.
6/1/2026: ‘Craigslist Founder Teams Up With a Muppet to Persuade People to Stop Clicking on Scams, PCMag
For the second time in six months, I had a video conversation with Craiglist founder-turned philanthropist about his Take9 efforts to get people to take a beat before clicking through sketchy links. This time, we discussed how Newmark has enlisted the help of a vaguely vampiric purple potentate–Sesame Street’s Count von Count–in this effort.
6/2/2026: T-Mobile Offers Fresh Set of Freebies for 10th Anniversary of T-Mobile Tuesdays, PCMag
T-Mobile offered an advance on this news but got the final version of their press release to me way too late in the workday on Monday. My editors were fine with me filing something Tuesday afternoon.
6/3/2026: Google Will Soon Spot Fake Calls on Supported Android Phones, PCMag
I noted some of the software dependencies of the new fake-call-detection feature, but Ars Technica’s Ryan Whitwam (once again) went into much more detail about them in his writeup.
6/3/2026: Report Cites Misinformation As Key Threat to Election Security, Doesn’t Name the Biggest Offenders, PCMag
The chance to quiz one of Check Point’s security experts about this report made for a more interesting post. Having to update it with a clarification about leaked credentials from the Democratic fundraising platform ActBlue made for a more time-consuming post.

Ông trùm lừa đảo Chen Zhi bị truy tố, nhưng các cuộc gọi scam vẫn tiếp tục hoành hành bất chấp nỗ lực của cơ quan chức năng toàn cầu. Với quy mô ngành công nghiệp lừa đảo lên tới 64 tỷ USD, việc triệt phá tận gốc vẫn vô cùng khó khăn do mạng lưới hoạt động phức tạp, liên kết跨国 và sử dụng công nghệ tinh vi.

#ScamCalls from a Belgian number. (+32)
Last week it was “Blockchain Support”. This week it is an automated message from #PayPal telling me I have received a suspicious inbound transaction.
What did I do?
1) Said as little as possible (AI voice cloning is a bitch of a risk, but a recording of phrases is also a risk)
2) Hung up immediately.
3) logged onto PayPal to look for any alerts.
4) Blocked number.
I do not have a miraculous windfall or mysterious outflow in my (unused) PayPal account. -
