"In the US, a limited liability company (LLC) is a business structure that normally protects other assets of its owners for example if a credit of the business can not be paid back. However, for privacy reasons lots of individuals buying a house hid their real identity from the public database of home owners by doing the purchase via an LLC. This practice protected your identity from being disclosed in public records which are vacuumed up by data brokers. This private way of making purchases protected those in danger of stalkers, domestic violence, and other immediate physical threats. Unfortunately, the Corporate Transparency Act is threatening this important longstanding legal #privacy practice."

Seeing tech companies coming up with more and more fanciful excuses to not use humans for moderation and to use an algorithm instead.
This time, it's "the algorithm will be more accurate than a human in the future" which is both irrelevant (and probably bullshit).

Since someone brought him up with me, I'm just going to say that I don't approve of the antics of Alexandre de Moraes. He seems extreme (even if you don't like some of the people he targets).
I would still push to get Julian Assange released. Don't rely on Biden.
I'm on a green potion site, lol.
@gustavoturner The FSC might be interested in this one. Australia is carrying out a consultation regarding censorship.

#Terraformars is not to be confused with Transformers, the show with the giant intelligent space robots which turn into vehicles, lol. The a near the end is also deliberate.
I don't really see the value in smartwatches, to be honest, when you already have a computer in your pocket.
Now that there are smartwatches, next there should be a badge you tap then say "Hello Enterprise" into, lol.
Be careful, if someone drops a nuke, you might end up with a guy in a wheelchair with powerful psychic powers and a guy wearing a metallic helmet terrorizing you, lol.
In #Terraformars, mankind's greatest enemy are cockroaches which evolved into big muscular men, lol. #anime

"A Māori mum misidentified as a trespassed “thief” at a Rotorua supermarket trialling facial recognition technology says she felt “racially discriminated” against and embarrassed during the “horrible” birthday incident."
"Last week #Privacy Commissioner Michael Webster launched an inquiry into Foodstuffs’ facial recognition trial to monitor whether it complied with the Privacy Act and was effective in reducing harmful behaviour at those supermarkets.
In a written statement, a spokesperson from the Commissioner’s office said he was concerned about “bias and accuracy” and facial recognition technology (FRT) not being “a proven tool” to reduce harmful behaviour in supermarkets."

How to make Light roll in his grave: Get his notebook, get the Death Eraser (which was removed after the first short story), and rub all the names out, lol. #anime
