Congress Moves to Ban Apps Owned by Foreign Adversaries
- By Press Release
Time’s Up TikTok
The social media app TikTok quickly rose to fame during the pandemic lockdowns. With nowhere to go and little socialization, the newest video platform was ripe for people, especially youth, to connect with friends and find entertainment. TikTok’s boom has brought new fame and creative content, but it held a dirty little secret: it is really nothing more than spyware from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
In 2020, President Donald Trump’s strict policies against Chinese involvement in U.S. affairs extended to TikTok. He issued an executive order prohibiting U.S. companies from engaging in business with ByteDance, Ltd., the Chinese company that owns TikTok. A full ban of TikTok on federal devices was also enacted. Lawsuits held up the process of implementation which allowed President Joe Biden to repeal the initiative one year later. Trump still believes that TikTok is a national security problem but is concerned that if the platform were to disappear, it would send more users over to Facebook and Instagram which have had their own wealth of corrupt issues.
Department of Transportation Looking Into Disabling Cars At-Will
- By Eagle Forum
The Biden administration is trying to be a “backseat driver” by encroaching on our property and privacy rights. The Department of Transportation (DOT) has started the process of implementing a device mandate in all new cars that would spy on our driving and have the ability to disable the car. Mandating a kill switch in our vehicles would be the death of our automobile autonomy.
BMW i3 Owners Shocked By $30,000 Battery Replacement, One Quoted $71,000!
- By Stephen Rivers - Carscoops.com
First released in 2013, the i3 marked BMW‘s initial foray into the realm of mainstream electric vehicles. Primarily designed as a city car rather than a long-distance traveler, it wrapped up its U.S. journey in 2021 with approximately 45,100 units sold on this side of the pond.
Three years after its demise, the BMW i3 remains a dapper little puddle jumper that isn’t too expensive on the used-car market. Like most luxury cars though, and especially ones from established European marques, it’s not the initial cost but the lurking maintenance expenses that can catch you off guard.
Artificial Intelligence, Real Ignorance, and Our New Idolatry
- By Jared Bridges - Editor-in-Chief of The Washington Stand
Almost a decade ago, on a whim, I answered an unknown call to my cell phone. It was some sort of survey, and I for once decided to play along to see where it was going. There was something peculiar about the way the voice on the other end spoke that raised my suspicions, so I asked, “Are you a robot?” The voice chuckled and replied, “Am I that bad? I hope my boss isn’t listening to this call.” He then proceeded with the survey. Still not completely convinced, I interjected, “Sorry, but before I go on, I just need you to answer one question for me: What color is the sky?” The voice then quickly said, “Hmmm. I’ll have to research that and someone will get back to you.”
Threats On Digital Liberty
- By The John Birch Society
You are invited to attend a webinar on the threats on your digital liberty. The webinar takes place May 24, 2022 at 8pm Eastern Time. It will be given live by digital privacy expert Mitchell Shaw.
In the digital age, there is no clear line of separation between digital liberty and any other liberty. As overreaching government agencies and nosy corporations harvest your personal data, your privacy and liberty erode. In this live webinar, Mr. Shaw reveals the ways personal data — including e-mails, texts, browsing histories, and more — is mined and used to create a startlingly accurate picture of each of us. He also shows — in clear layman’s terms and without technical jargon — the tools and practices you need to protect your privacy and liberty from a culture of surveillance.
The webinar is sponsored by the Winter Garden Florida JBS Chapter. You can register for free HERE.
Yes, Your Mobile Carrier Is Probably Spying on You, But You Can Do Something About It
- By C. Mitchell Shaw - The New American
In the world that exists after Ed Snowden’s 2013 revelations, it is well-known that government agencies routinely spy on American citizens. But many seem to not know that tech companies make large profits doing the same and selling private data to advertisers.
That ignorance is on full display in an article published in the Washington Post’s “Help Desk” section on April 22. Tatum Hunter answers a query from a reader about whether or not mobile carriers harvest users’ data for profit. She admits, “I had no idea wireless carriers were in the business of peeking in on my activities and using that information to market to me.”
Her admission comes in the wake of her discovery that such surveillance is a common business practice in the industry. She writes:
Is Elon Musk Buying Twitter to Turn It Into a Free-speech Platform?
- By C. Mitchell Shaw - The New American
A week after teasing that he may start his own social-media platform to compete with Twitter, Tesla CEO Elon Musk was reported Monday to have purchased a 9.2-percent stake in Twitter. This makes Musk the largest shareholder — with four times as many shares as Twitter founder Jack Dorsey.
Musk and Twitter have a bit of history — much of it contentious. As Bloomberg reported:
