Twitch recently made changes to its terms of service, allowing artistic depictions of nudity while still prohibiting explicit sexual content. However, after facing community concerns, Twitch decided to reverse the new policy, stating that they went too far with the change.
YouTube has removed public code that indicates whether a channel is monetized or not. This change prevents users from easily determining which channels are earning money. The removal of this information also impacted several internet tools that relied on it.
The decrease in transparency from platforms like Twitch and YouTube raises questions about the level of control and moderation these platforms have over their content. Additionally, it emphasizes the challenges platforms face in balancing freedom of expression with community concerns.
After a two-year investigation, the California DMV accuses Tesla of misleading advertising concerning its Full Self-Driving feature. Tesla argues that the DMV tacitly accepted its marketing because it started using the term in 2016 and the DMV didn't act until 2021.
Tesla argues that California's false advertising rules for autonomous vehicles inappropriately restrict constitutionally protected speech that is truthful and non-misleading. They also claim that the DMV took too long to bring up the issue, as Tesla started using the term Full Self-Driving in 2016 and the DMV didn't act until 2021.
While it's hard to pinpoint a specific instance, legitimate criticism is taken seriously and acted upon. Notable feedback includes concerns about sponsored content, trustworthiness, and transparency. The goal is to continuously improve and address viewer concerns to maintain integrity and avoid any conflicts of interest.
Ubiquity users reported a bug that allowed them to see and receive notifications from other users' security cameras through Ubiquity's Unify Cloud Portal. The issue was caused by a misconfiguration in an upgrade to the Unify Cloud infrastructure. Only 12 accounts were affected and the problem has been fixed. Ubiquity will contact affected users.
Google will no longer have access to users' location histories in its Maps app, preventing the company from answering geofence warrants. This change will impact nearly all geofence warrants in the US, as Google receives 25% of its warrants from these requests. The decision is seen as a response to the administrative workload rather than a move to protect user privacy.
It is important to prioritize proper data hygiene and personal responsibility when it comes to storing valuable information, such as photos. Convincing someone to let us set up a server instead of relying on flash drives is not recommended, as it places the responsibility on us if something goes wrong. It is essential to recognize that individuals must take ownership of their own data and make informed decisions about its storage.
While parental supervision is crucial, it is unrealistic to expect perfect monitoring or to shield children from all potentially harmful content online. Instead of trying to protect kids from everything, it is more important to have open conversations with them, teach them critical thinking skills, and guide them to make responsible choices. Parents should recognize that exposing children to challenging situations can help them develop important life skills like discretion, tact, and decision-making.
