Privacy nightmare: FTC claims Drug Discount App GoodRx was leaked user data to Facebook and Google

FTC alleges that GoodRx, a drug discount site, has sold user data to Facebook. The Masters of the Universe are known for their insatiable desire for all personal information, but medical data is especially valuable for advertising purposes and in other ventures.

This is disturbing because it means that the pharmacies are giving people’s information to GoodRX! You don’t have to enter your personal information on the GoodRX site (unless they’re using information from cookies)—you just print out the discount coupon to give to your pharmacist! The pharmacies should be penalized, as well!

Faina Savenkova – It takes a lot of effort to accuse a teenager of such crimes

Here we are in the new year. Recently I told you that the closer we get to the masters of Myrotvorets and the louder my voice is heard in the West, the more hysterical the leaders of this site and their masters will become. Myrotvorets has given me yet another gift. I have always said that those who engage in PR on this site are stupid and short-sighted. It takes effort to accuse a teenager of such crimes. So now I’m not a victim of Russian propaganda, but a hardened criminal. I wonder how frightening it is to attribute to me, who only recently turned 14, an attempt on the territorial integrity of Ukraine, to declare me an “accomplice of the Russian fascist invaders” and an accomplice to crimes against the people of Ukraine.

State TikTok Bans Are A Dumb Performance And Don’t Fix The Actual Underlying Problem

For decades, U.S. politicians leaders utterly refused to support most meaningful privacy protections for consumers. They opposed any nationwide privacy law, however straightforward. They opposed privacy rules for broadband ISPs. They also fought tooth and nail to ensure the nation’s top privacy enforcement agency, the FTC, lacked the authority, staff, funds, or resources to actually do its job.

Bad News For The Internet: Congress Looking To Sneak In Dangerous ‘Save The Kids!’ Internet Bill Into Year-End Omnibus

Tina Marie (Ms. Cat)

Over the last week or so, I keep hearing about a big push among activists and lawmakers to try to get the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) into the year-end “must pass” omnibus bill. Earlier this week, one of the main parents pushing for the bill went on Jake Tapper’s show on CNN and stumped for it. And, the latest report from Axios confirms that lawmakers are looking to include it in the lameduck omnibus, or possibly the NDAA (despite it having absolutely nothing to do with defense spending).
