Whistleblowers Are the Conscience of Society, Yet Suffer Gravely For Trying to Hold the Rich and Powerful Accountable For Their Sins

By Ashley Gjovik, 30 Apr 2023

[Author’s Note: I blew the whistle and was met with an experience so destructive that I did not have the words to describe what happened to me. I set out to learn if what happened to me is a known phenomenon and, if so, whether there are language and concepts to explain the experience.

New on #LLRX: The Disappeared: Indigenous Peoples and the international crime of enforced disappearance, by @cmorris and Rebekah Smith https://www.llrx.com/2023/03/the-disappeared-indigenous-peoples-and-the-international-crime-of-enforced-disappearance/

An early item from my #LLRX weekly summary

Subject: Beware of Bank-Related Scams
Source: #CISA

Release Date March 15, 2023

In light of recent bank failures, CISA warns consumers to beware of potential scams requesting your money or sensitive personal information. Exercise caution in handling emails with bank-related subject lines, attachments, or links. In addition, be wary of social media pleas, texts, or door-to-door solicitations relating to any failed bank.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), the "Receiver" of failed banks, would never contact you asking for personal details, such as bank account information, credit and debit card numbers, social security numbers, or passwords.

To avoid becoming victims of scams, consumers should review the following resources and take preventative measures:

CISA: Avoiding Social Engineering and Phishing Attacks
#FDIC Consumer News: Beware, It’s a Scam!
FDIC Consumer News: Scammers Pretending to be the FDIC
FDIC: Failed Bank Information for Silicon Valley Bank #SVB, Santa Clara, CA
FDIC: Failed Bank Information for Signature Bank, New York, NY
CISA: Phishing Infographic

Consider reporting scams and fraud to the police and file a report with the Federal Trade Commission.

#llrx Here's a #WaPo abstract that will appear in next week's Pete Recommends

In the past, courts have found that Section 230, a law shielding tech platforms from being #liable for content posted on their sites, applies to search engines when they link to or even publish excerpts of content from third-party websites.

But there’s a case to be made that the output of a #chatbot would be considered content developed, at least in part, by the search engine itself — rendering #Google or #Microsoft the “publisher or speaker” of the AI’s responses.

If judges agree, that could expose tech companies to a flood of lawsuits accusing their chatbots of everything from providing libelous descriptions to offering faulty investment advice to aiding a terrorist group in crafting its recruiting materials. ...

Subject: Watchdog: Secret Service, #ICE failed to follow federal statutes in using cell phone #tracking devices

Source: #FCW

https://fcw.com/digital-government/2023/03/watchdog-secret-service-ice-failed-follow-federal-statutes-using-cell-phone-tracking-devices/383568/

Two federal agencies failed to consistently apply court statutes and Department of Homeland Security policies for the use of cell site simulators in law enforcement cases, in part because of insufficient policy guidance, a new report claims.

> Use of the simulators — which mimic the signals used by cell towers in order to track the phones for law enforcement agencies — require that officials obtain both a search warrant supported by probable cause under the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure and a court order under the law that governs the use of pen registers and trap and trace devices.

#DHS policies governing cell site simulators offer two exceptions to the warrant requirement, including exigent circumstances where "the need to protect human life or avert serious injury; the prevention of the imminent destruction of evidence; the hot pursuit of a fleeing felon; or the prevention of escape by a suspect or convicted fugitive from justice."

The other instance is exceptional circumstances where obtaining a warrant is impractical.
