New: a location data vendor has admitted that users accessed data related to Planned Parenthood clinics. Came before we caused the broker, Placer, to switch off the access. Shows the risk that data brokers do pose in a post-Roe v. Wade U.S.
vice.comLocation Data Broker Admits Users Accessed Data for Planned Parenthood ClinicsThe lookups on Placer.ai were long before the repeal of Roe v. Wade, but still demonstrate the stark risk that location data firms and data brokers pose.

I’ve read Jonathan’s paper on the work done by Citizen Lab. As I told him on a call yesterday, I don’t agree with his findings. I don’t believe one can reasonably make the assumptions and conclusions he’s making, for example around Citizen Lab’s reliance on the MVT tool.

I’ve said it before and I will say it again: Jonathan is the Alex Jones of cybersecurity. His debunked research is more than mere trolling. It is now the cornerstone of the NSO apologist platform.

Again? I’m getting requests from reporters regarding this ā€œresearch,ā€ and again there’s no substance to the bold claims. It’s poorly written rubbish w/ no evidence and flawed research. What’s interesting is the effort he put in to try and make it look valid. #disinformation #fud https://t.co/CyDvAkq3wB

Remember this "exclusive" story in the Daily Star about "general Pavel", who was supposedly "dragged out of retirement" by Putin and sent to Ukraine? So yeah, turns out that's total bullshit. @Lotte_Lambrecht and I found out who's _actually_ in this photo. Follow along! 1/
