#UK Pulls Back From Clash With Big Tech Over Private Messaging -Slashdot

The UK government will concede it will not use controversial powers in the #onlinesafetybill to scan messaging apps for harmful content until it is "technically feasible" to do so, postponing measures that critics say threaten users' #privacy. Financial Times

When #Durham came before the cmte, #House #Republicans eagerly picked over the scraps in his final report, which has been much criticized, & they treated him as a hero. But under questioning from Democratic & Republican members, Durham #misrepresented key aspects of the #Russia scandal, suggesting he was either unfamiliar w/basic facts or was purposefully trying to #mislead the cmte & the American public.

Skim milk masquerades as cream;
Highlows pass as patent leathers;
Jackdaws strut in peacock's feathers."

@aarondleong that’s not true.

It takes either someone who has been #brainwashed, #deluded, or maybe just a special kind of 🤬 to endanger our #security & #trust in the eyes of the world.

Still, as a #veteran I can proudly say that only the #extremists and #mislead would do that

Unfortunately, when you take into account that I left the service before this time of #AmericanExtremism…

honestly, when I think of where most service people come from, I do get a bit nervous- for lots of reasons

@garry

More horseshit pumped out to blunt the demand for transition off carbon fuel. This is a dishonest distraction.

They might get the price down to impossibly low, if you dont count all the other costs of using the system, plus ignored costs.

Costs like what do you do a trillion tons of CO2? Or a hundred trillion tons?

Removing just Canadas planned releases would cost several hundred $trillion under even this distraction.

There is a never ending stream of these #observationalStudies that are just poorly reported as news article and can profoundly #mislead people.

#Caffeine constricts blood vessels. It is not new that people with very high #BP is at higher risk from high dose caffeine.

Of course, caffeine has some benefits for perfectly healthy people when taken in moderation. Duh! Like anything.

#GreenTea doesn't need high praise. Taking pill form can be #hepatoxic.

"If they could moderate their degree of confidence appropriately, they would be less likely to #mislead.

For example, a model like Meta’s Atlas or DeepMind’s RETRO that synthesizes multiple articles into one answer might infer a degree of confidence based on the reputations of the sources it draws from and the agreement among them, and then change its communication style accordingly."
