lawsuit
Youtube slaps back against plantiff's accusation that the platform is designed to be addictive and it harms mental health.
YouTube argued that features the plaintiff’s lawyer had described as addictive could be turned off in YouTube’s settings. “If you don’t like it, turn it off — it’s that simple,” he said. “Infinite scroll is not infinite.

I had discrimination committed against me AGAIN.
I am now exposing this place and here is an audio recording of the supervisor for the day not knowing how #tourettes works and making me basically BEG to get in the door.
I am pressing charges.
I am filing a #lawsuit.
I am exposing them for patient abuse and discrimination. These people almost put me in a HOSPITAL.
Made me APOLOGIZE
Go to hell.

Zack Whittaker and I have released our report on the pilot survey we conducted to increase awareness about threats security researchers and journalists who report on cybersecurity and cybercrime experience.
We are grateful to all those who responded to the survey and shared a bit of their experiences. Based on what we found in a pilot survey with a non-random sample, I really think we need to do a bigger study that can also do a deeper dive into some questions.
You can read the report in html or download the .pdf version:

In conjunction with the release of the report, I've also added a new "Threats" category to DataBreaches.net.

A #lawsuit alleges that #WhatsApp, despite claiming to use end-to-end #encryption, secretly allows #Meta to access user messages. The lawsuit, lacking solid evidence, has been amplified by figures like Elon Musk. A cryptography expert finds the allegations unlikely, but acknowledges the need for transparency and independent verification of WhatsApp’s encryption practices. https://blog.cryptographyengineering.com/2026/02/02/whatsapp-encryption-a-lawsuit-and-a-lot-of-noise/?eicker.media #media #socialmedia
