Verizon’s NFL Covid-19 Screening Cameras Are Based on Bad Science
▻https://theintercept.com/2021/03/03/covid-verizon-nfl-fever-thermal-imaging

Verizon’s 5G-powered fever-detecting cameras appear to be sourced from a company under State Department sanctions and probably don’t work. Technology companies have spent the past year in a manic sprint to reimagine (or at least re-market) their wares as coronavirus response tools, with often less than stellar results. Next up is telecom mammoth Verizon, whose latest initiative cashes in on 5G hype and Covid-19 fears and is not only technologically pointless, according to experts, but based (...)

SAN FRANCISCO/NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. authorities investigating Alphabet Inc’s GOOGL.O Google for anticompetitive behavior have recently begun probing the company’s $116 billion-a-year advertising business. Attorneys general for 50 U.S. states and territories along with the U.S. Department of Justice appear to be acting on accusations from rivals, lawmakers and consumer advocacy groups that the biggest seller of online ads engages in unfair tactics. Google disputes its dominance. “Ad tech (...)

Use Signal and add a PIN code to your phone’s SIM card to help protect against spying. Federal agents from the Department of Homeland Security and the Justice Department used “a sophisticated cell phone cloning attack—the details of which remain classified—to intercept protesters’ phone communications” in Portland this summer, Ken Klippenstein reported this week in The Nation. Put aside for the moment that, if the report is true, federal agents conducted sophisticated electronic surveillance (...)

AT&T’s current 5G is slower than 4G in nearly every city tested by PCMag
▻https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2020/09/atts-current-5g-is-slower-than-4g-in-nearly-every-city-tested-by-pcmag

AT&T phones often get just 5MHz of 5G spectrum, slowing them down in speed tests. AT&T smartphone users who see their network indicators switch from “4G” to “5G” shouldn’t necessarily expect that they’re about to get faster speeds. In PCMag’s annual mobile-network testing, released today, 5G phones connected to AT&T got slower speeds than 4G phones in 21 out of 22 cities. PCMag concluded that “AT&T 5G right now appears to be essentially worthless,” though AT&T’s average (...)

Telecom companies are at the core of the world’s communication universe. Since the coronavirus pandemic, they’ve been passing even more sensitive data to governments. It’s time they were held as accountable as Google and Facebook. The texts can arrive at any time. Recipients are told they’ve been exposed to the coronavirus and must immediately begin a two-week period of isolation. For some, the frustration of knowing the routines of daily life must suddenly stop can be exacerbated by the fact (...)

ISPs have spent years imposing unnecessary and expensive broadband caps to make an extra buck. With a looming public health crisis, telecom experts say it’s time to suspend them. For years, US broadband providers have taken advantage of a lack of US competition by imposing arbitrary and expensive broadband usage caps and “overage fees.” With the country facing a massive surge in videoconferencing and home learning thanks to the coronavirus epidemic, experts say it’s time for broadband (...)

The Rise of the Video Surveillance Industrial Complex
▻https://theintercept.com/2020/01/27/surveillance-cctv-smart-camera-networks

There’s widespread concern that video cameras will use facial recognition software to track our every public move. Far less remarked upon — but every bit as alarming — is the exponential expansion of “smart” video surveillance networks. Private businesses and homes are starting to plug their cameras into police networks, and rapid advances in artificial intelligence are investing closed-circuit television, or CCTV, networks with the power for total public surveillance. In the not-so-distant (...)

Verizon spied on consumers for decades—then lobbied fiercely to prevent the government from doing anything about it. Now it wants you to trust it with your web searches. Verizon has spent the better part of the last decade mired in privacy scandals and lobbying the government to ignore or legalize its bad behavior. Now it’s launching a new privacy-centric search engine, apparently hoping you forgot all of that ever happened. The company on Tuesday unveiled OneSearch, a new search engine (...)

Eavesdropping bureaucrats have been replaced by algorithm-driven facial recognition technology. But the real impact of indiscriminate surveillance may be in our minds. We live in a world where school cameras monitor children’s emotions, countries collect people’s DNA en masse, and no digital communication seems truly private. In response, we use encrypted chat apps on our phones, wear masks during protests to combat facial recognition technology, and try vainly to hide our most personal (...)

The F.B.I. has used secret subpoenas to obtain personal data from far more companies than previously disclosed, newly released documents show. The requests, which the F.B.I. says are critical to its counterterrorism efforts, have raised privacy concerns for years but have been associated mainly with tech companies. Now, records show how far beyond Silicon Valley the practice extends — encompassing scores of banks, credit agencies, cellphone carriers and even universities. The demands can (...)
