Unfortunately, while I was a big fan of thermal screening for pandemic mitigation, the potential use of thermal cameras to remotely detect early pregnancy either immediately, or through logging longitudinal variation makes this measure unacceptable.https://t.co/peHO878IfP

Well shit.
By 2024 at earliest and 2028 at absolute latest, the US will be under soft fascist (but still fascist) minority party rule.
It is now inevitable.
If half of the population is effectively designated as second class citizens, what exactly does the United States offer to the world in this era of great power competition?

Nada.
I think the first time I mentioned digital surveillance being used to target women seeking abortions in NYT was 2014? 2012?
โSeriousโ people literally mocked us for raising the possibility. Privacy advocates were mocked as alarmist luddites for a long time.
Well, here we are. https://t.co/llbmJgivRw

I remember those days. I also remember being personally mocked and banned from a forum in 1998 for saying the DMCA would inevitably be used by corporations to prevent people from repairing physical objects.
Most people have the imagination of a tree stump.
“Delete this app/turn off this option” guidelines are proliferating.
Sure delete that and turn off the option.
But here’s reality: it won’t be enough in today’s surveillance environment, especially with law-enforcement powers.
Probably not even enough to avoid many vigilantes.

I don’t think people realize how pervasive our surveillance infrastructure is now. It’s about me, Zeynep, and some guy in Croatia who really understand it.
But you’re about to find out, especially if you live in a red state. Oh yes you are.
The first ten on today’s playlist:
if red states thought they had an issue with attracting or retaining medical professionals before Roe fell, well, hoo boy

Ayup. Red states are gonna get pretty hellish in the near future. Their economies and standards of living will decline quite a lot, inevitably. The fall of Roe won’t be the only reason (more is coming), but it will be the start of it.
People who think SCOTUS won’t come for contraception next. LOL. How does it feel to be wrong and a fucking idiot?
I canโt feel that sad or mad because Iโm in shock trying to wrap my head around how much worse weโre in for. Roe falling is just the beginning. Things are going to get fucking bad bad bad bad.

Agreed. Especially in the red states. They are going to have reduced standards of living and outright theocracy again in most. Time to flee if you can. You have a few years before it gets really bad, but be gone before 2024 or it’s gonna suck.
Unless you’re a conservative in which case, fuck you.
Going to see a huge exodus from red states in the next 1-2 years.
We will be part of it.
