See your identity pieced together from stolen data

quote [ "Companies are trying to use the sheer scale and profitability of their shady data practices to shield them from the law."

And with Experian disclosing a breach in 2015 and then another in 2020, it's clear these firms are attractive targets for cybercrime.

In fact, one of the largest breaches collated by Have I Been Pwned has also been traced back to a "likely" customer of data-enrichment company People Data Labs. ]

HaveIBeenPwned.com is around for a while now. I didn't know that most of the breaches orginated at data vendors, though.

Tesla Employees Have Been Meme-ing Your Private Car Videos

quote [ What kind of videos would employees share? Former staffers remember stuff like â??dogs, interesting cars, and clips of people recorded by Tesla cameras tripping and fallingâ? all being big hits. In one popular video, the carâ??s ownerâ??a manâ??approached the vehicle totally naked. In another instance, employees enthusiastically shared a video of a child on a bike getting hit by a car (the child and the bike â??flewâ? in opposite directions, former employees said). ]

It's probably been almost a decade, but I'd just like apologize for ever suggesting the existence of this company might be a positive thing.

Women Used the Rule of Law to Challenge Trumpism

quote [ In 1873, the U.S. Supreme Court decided that women had no constitutional right to practice law...in a constitutional democracy, enduring power lies in the people who step into the fight.. by the bookâ??s conclusion, the narrative is complicated; chapters that bring us to the present day reveal a reluctant but palpable doubt as to whether American constitutional democracy will, in fact, ultimately empower women.. ]

A way of connecting dots, including anti-Muslim laws, anti semitism Charlottesville, misogyny Kavanaugh's confirmation attack on Christine Blasey, women's rights Supreme Court Dobbs (repeal of Row V Wade) to say dignity, equality, justice, law, truth and reason are merely abstract words.
