There are so many more microphones in your home than you realize. Alexa is the tip of the iceberg.
Be careful what you plug in and connect to the internet.

Better Solution...
Get @Brave Browser, or other Privacy focused web browser.
... that would NOT be Edge.

Thank you @Rep_Davidson !
Have posted about this for years, more recently on @X.
Thanks to Ohio U.S. House Rep @WarrenDavidson for taking action to fix an email law that predates the Internet.

Need to address 18 U.S. Code § 2703 of the Electronic Communications Privacy Act of 1986 (ECPA)...
- NOTE 1986 -
Under ECPA, email is presumed to be abandoned after 180 days & law allows Government to compel disclosure of older email with either subpoena or court order.

Also NOT true. #AgeVerification (you left off "ication") is a reckless approach that would put ALL ADULTS data at risk. There are breaches reported often, including by Age Verification companies. It is NOT minimally burdensome on adults.
#USDataPrivacy
The same @Discord who just last year had 70,000 of their customers lose their personal data via Age Verification, is now expanding #AgeVerification & wants YOU to trust them.
BIG pass.

A small handful of senators get briefed on classified surveillance programs the rest of us never hear about.
One of them is quietly sounding the alarm about VPNs.
Is the US government running a dragnet on VPN users?

The GUARD Act removes parental choice by banning minors outright with no consent option or flexibility. It also forces all users to verify identity with IDs or biometrics, chilling anonymous speech. That’s not child safety, it’s overreach with real costs for individuals’ privacy. #AgeVerification #USDataPrivacy
"Like age-verification proposals for online services, this bill is unlikely to survive constitutional scrutiny."

This AI age verification bill raises significant privacy and speech concerns and would make policymakers not parents the decision-maker around children’s use of AI.

The "SECURE Data Act" was introduced last week in the U.S. @HouseCommerce Committee.
This is the @RepGuthrie led committee that recently advanced privacy invading tech legislation under guise of protecting children.
Ongoing 🧵...
#USDataPolicy #USDataSecurity #USDataPrivacy
Today, on behalf of @HouseCommerce and @FinancialCmte, @RepJohnJoyce and @RepHuizenga unveiled comprehensive data privacy legislation establishing data privacy protections fit for the 21st century.

Couple of good things about a government shutdown... Congress won't be spending more of OUR money, or be passing bad #BigTech bills that infringe on our #FirstAmendment rights. #NationalDebt #USDataPrivacy

Simple solution. QUIT USING #GOOGLE products.
Google is NOT an #AmericaFirst company. They mine your data and sell it.
NO sympathy here. ZERO.

Meanwhile, both @GOP & @TheDemocrats leadership sit on the sidelines when it comes to the #SurveillanceEconomy. Way past time to elect people who understand technology & who actually care about "We the People". #DataBrokers #USDataPolicy #USDataPrivacy #Privacy #Security

Insanity.
Should be illegal, but most of our elected officials have little tech knowledge. That is a CRISIS. Many of them are trying to pass laws which will have consequences they do not understand.

Can the FBI, or other government agency, obtain copies of your emails older than 6 months old without a #Warrant? Apparently the answer is still YES. This authority was given under the ECPA of 1986. Yes, 1986, before the Internet.#USDataPrivacy #Privacy #Law #USLaw

It will cost them a few million in attorney fees & maybe a (big sounding) fine. Then, once again, neither #Democrats or #Republicans will do anything to put burdens on companies to end the breach madness.See 2017 @Equifax breach.

Instead of advertising hanging out on another site, you might want to address the hundreds (thousands?) of posts on @X discussing your changes to Term of Service (TOS). As in... right now.

Frequently, you'll hear a politician say "if you are concerned, just don't use their program/website". It doesn't work that way. And those politicians are either ignorant of tech, or they are deceiving you. Unfortunately, have even heard @RandPaul say this.

Companies like Google, Meta & Apple track your searches, messages, locations & more. In a 2024 request, a journalist got 20K pages of data collected by Meta, including activity on non-Meta sites.
