Forced Consent & Consent Bypass

16 June 2025
Meta announced today that it also wants to introduce ads on WhatsApp, which will be based on personal data from Facebook and Instagram. This further integrates WhatsApp into other Meta services - an originally independent app, which initially was available for just $1 per year without ads or data usage.

Glad to see you write on this topic. But I found the article a little less accessible than others you’ve authored recently. I’ll keep an eye out for a long form video on this topic to better understand your points.

Signal doesn’t have a backdoor. But that doesn’t stop ppl from welcoming in strangers through the front door.

Will Trump Have The US Government BUY Zcash?
Will Trump Have The US Government BUY Zcash? YouTube video by Zcash Media

We made a video about Trump’s plans for supporting “American” cryptocurrencies. It’s about how one could even decide what an American crypto is and whether Zcash should be considered American or not.

That’s why it’s incredibly important for folks to turn on things like Advanced Data Protection (end-to-end encryption for iCloud.) Go into Settings on your iPhone, type “Advanced”.

Watch Duty - Wildfire Maps & Alerts Real-time information about wildfire and firefighting efforts nearby

Not lost on me that it's nonprofit tech, app.watchduty.org, showing up & actually working in the midst of the LA fires (donate to them!)

Meanwhile platforms fail to surface key news, vital info is paywalled...

As I've been saying, we need a new tech paradigm, yesterday!

The enormous quantity and quality of great things about this movie outweigh any flaws imo. I’m glad he swung for the stars with this sprawling, intense, and high-stakes film. Even tho I always loved it over the years, the recent imax showing really impacted me.
