1. The second worst thing imo is that the federal government could turn off transponders, making ICE flights harder to track.
BUT, going dark is still pretty rare, even for the military. And I said *harder* to track, not impossible.✊

Most discussions about “misinformation” treat the problem as if people simply don’t have good enough critical-thinking skills. It sounds intuitive, but it’s not entirely accurate. The problem isn’t just individual ignorance, it’s the structure of the information environment people are placed into.

The Supreme Court is the place where America's nine wisest judges gather in a room to decide that, under the law, state lawmakers get a free pass to racially gerrymander their states, as long as they wait until the election is a couple months away

Is Your Android TV Streaming Box Part of a Botnet?
On the surface, the Superbox media streaming devices for sale at retailers like BestBuy and Walmart may seem like a steal: They offer unlimited access to more than 2,200 pay-per-view and streaming services like Netflix, ESPN and Hulu, all for a one-time fee of around $400. But security experts warn these TV boxes require intrusive software that forces the user's network to relay Internet traffic for others, traffic that is often tied to cybercrime activity such as advertising fraud and account takeovers.
