Attleboro anti-abortion center stole patient data from nearby clinic, lawsuit alleges
  • That's not at all what the article says. These women went to the actual Four Women's Health Services website, filled out a form, and were contacted by someone who didn't work at Four Women's to schedule an appointment elsewhere.

    Edit: In the article, their lawyer says, "AWHC’s outreach to Four Women’s patients appears to be the result of their unlawful infiltration of Four Women’s electronic platforms." Later in the article, a spokesperson for the EFF says what's more likely is that an employee is intentionally leaking data. Either way, there's no indication that this is the result of pregnant women being duped by a website.

  • Attleboro anti-abortion center stole patient data from nearby clinic, lawsuit alleges
  • Well, one is a clinic and the other isn't a licensed health care facility at all, so I think OP was expressing worry that the abortion clinic would be fined out of existence for HIPAA violations related to not properly securing patient data.

  • All fair points. I don't fly much and it's been such a long time since I've been carded that I don't really think about using it for stuff like that.

  • Must be nice. I can't remember the last time I drove across Louisiana and didn't get pulled over in some podunk town whose only source of income is speeding tickets. We've had digital IDs here for years, and I can't help but think that getting people to handover an unlocked phone is exactly the point.

  • I've never understood the appeal of digital driver's licenses. If I get pulled over, there's no fucking way I'm unlocking my phone and handing it to a cop.

  • That article made me realize how insane Image Generators already are.
  • From the article you clearly didn't read:

    Photography has been used in the service of deception for as long as it has existed. (Consider Victorian spirit photos, the infamous Loch Ness monster photograph, or Stalin’s photographic purges of IRL-purged comrades.)

  • My little brother was expelled from school in 1st grade for drawing a gun (which looked far more like a banana) and pointing it at another kid. That was in rural Alabama in 2000. Nothing new here.

  • Google is no longer asking — feed the AI or you’re not in search results
  • I read it on their sources page at some point, but it looks like that page has changed since last I looked.

  • Google is no longer asking — feed the AI or you’re not in search results
  • That's technically true, but it's as misleading as saying they get their search results from Yandex. Their results are aggregated from several search engines, not just Bing. They also have their own web crawler, DuckDuckBot, which absolutely respects RobotRules.

    Edit: I'm told my information is out of date. No more Yandex because of Uncle Sam. Yahoo is just Bing now, so that index doesn't count anymore. The bulk of the rest of their sources are largely inconsequential specialized search engines. Their sources page states that they "largely source from Bing".

  • DOJ attorney who led prosecution of anti-Trump protesters hit with ethics charges for allegedly hiding exculpatory evidence from defendants
  • I don't see how this is pro Trump. It's an article about how Trump's DOJ did unethical things when prosecuting the people protesting Trump's inauguration.
