#TodayILearned more about Spyware😡🤢
I haven‘t read Ronan Farrow‘s reporting on Pegasus, but this 61 minute documentary on HBO Max gives a great overview.
Tagged the book that‘s lauded as the best owner‘s manual on going off the digital grid. We‘ve got the book and someday I‘ll read it. Just doesn‘t seem like there‘s much you can do to minimize intrusions unless you‘re truly willing to give up connected tech. I‘m not there, yet.

DogMomIrene @Bookwormjillk Exactly! 😓 1mo
Suet624 Remember when we heard our tv‘s were catching what we said? I remember the Good Wife having surveillance as a running part of a season? I know ads will pop up on Facebook if I talk about a product with a friend. 1mo

DogMomIrene @Suet624 I never watched The Good Wife, but sounds like they were on top of issues. AI has really upped the creepy factor for me. I had blogged about caring for my dogs. Took a long hiatus because of life stuff, but started to get back into it… only to realize that anything I create and place online will be used to train AI. I‘m in the process of closing up my blog and related accounts. I‘ll stick to reading and just posting about books. 1mo
Suet624 Wow. That‘s a huge bummer to have to stop writing your blog. 😳😩 1mo
MemoirsForMe Oh, this book and AI give me the creeps too. Big digital brother is always watching. 😬 1mo
DogMomIrene @MemoirsForMe Yes! I‘ve been deleting various online accounts for a few weeks now. Being thoughtful about which accounts, like Litsy, that I‘ll keep. 1mo
MemoirsForMe Ditto! 1mo
Amiable I love Ronan Farrow‘s work. I saw him in person in Hartford a year or so ago —he was on a panel that discussed the dissemination of disinformation and the future of the media. 1mo
DogMomIrene @Amiable Would have loved to have heard him speak on a panel. I love his work too. I haven‘t read his books, but they‘re on the TBR. Also, would love to read a book from him on disinformation and how it spreads. 1mo
