「テスラ・テイクダウン」デモ参加者は3月29日に世界的な行動を計画しており、事態は醜くなるかもしれない」: #TechCrunch

「「テスラ・テイクダウン」の主催者は、今週末の世界的な行動の最大の日を約束し、政府支出を削減するイーロン・マスクの役割に平和的に異議を唱えるために、テスラのショールーム、ディーラー、さらには充電ステーションの前で抗議するよう数千人に呼びかけている。

テスラへの抗議が広がるにつれ、反発も広がっている。 看板を掲げる活動家は、火炎瓶を投げる覆面の破壊者と混同されている。 ソーシャルメディア上でも、ワシントンでも、その区別は急速に薄れつつある。

ドナルド・トランプ大統領はテスラへの攻撃を「国内テロ」と呼び、「テロリストの凶悪犯」をエルサルバドルの刑務所に送ると脅した。

パム・ボンディ米司法長官は、攻撃が "単独犯 "によって実行されたことを示す証拠があるにもかかわらず、「これらの犯罪を調整し、資金を提供するために舞台裏で活動している者」を訴追すると約束した。 」

NSO Group e i suoi clienti stanno perdendo la loro battaglia per restare nell'ombra e i suoi clienti continuano a farsi beccare con le mani nella marmellata

Giovedì, Amnesty International ha pubblicato un nuovo rapporto che descrive in dettaglio i tentativi di hackeraggio contro due giornalisti serbi, presumibilmente effettuati con lo spyware #Pegasus di #NSO Group.

"Amnesty International ha trascorso anni a monitorare lo spyware Pegasus di NSO Group e il modo in cui è stato utilizzato per colpire attivisti e giornalisti", ha riferito a #TechCrunch Donncha Ó Cearbhaill, responsabile del Security Lab di Amnesty. "Questa ricerca tecnica ha permesso ad Amnesty di identificare siti Web dannosi utilizzati per distribuire lo spyware Pegasus, incluso lo specifico dominio Pegasus utilizzato in questa campagna".

「DiscordがIPOを検討中」: #TechCrunch

「毎月2億人以上のユーザーを持つチャットアプリのDiscordが、IPOに向けて初期段階の話し合いを行っているとニューヨーク・タイムズ紙が報じた。

NYTの情報筋によると、Discordの投資銀行との話し合いはまだ手探り状態であり、計画は変更される可能性があるという。 Discordはその計画について多くの関心が寄せられていることを理解しているが、噂や憶測についてはコメントしないと広報担当者はTechCrunchに語った。

DiscordがIPOを検討したのはこれが初めてではない。

サンフランシスコを拠点とするこの新興企業は、2021年にマイクロソフトによる100億ドルの買収を断念し、独立を保って株式公開することを検討した。 Discordは2021年の5億ドルの資金調達で、最後に147億ドルと評価された。」

Thanks to everyone in the fediverse who has favorited, boosted, and reached out to me supportively over the injunction and takedown order that I wouldn't comply with (overview: infosec.exchange/@PogoWasRight)

Special thanks to @zackwhittaker for reporting about it all on #TechCrunch:

Infosec ExchangeDissent Doe :cupofcoffee: (@PogoWasRight@infosec.exchange)Here's my post on the court injunction my site got hit with: HCRG Care's lawyers claimed an injunction issued in a "private" hearing required us to remove two posts. We didn't comply. HCRG Care was represented by the Pinsent Masons law firm in the UK in this matter. The injunction was issued by the High Court of Justice, King's Bench Division, Media and Communications List by the Honorable Mr. Justice Soole. Pinsent Mason's attempt to get my web host to remove my posts also failed. As always, I feel blessed to have the legal support of Covington and Burling's Kurt Wimmer Pro Media Freedom Initiative, which has represented my site pro bono for the last 16 years. Read about the letter, the injunction, and why the High Court's over-reaching injunction endangers UK journalists and doesn't serve the public well. https://databreaches.net/2025/03/05/hcrg-cares-lawyers-claimed-an-injunction-issued-in-a-private-hearing-required-us-to-remove-two-posts-we-didnt-comply/ Oh, and I'm not the only one ignoring the injunction. Medusa also got served with the injunction via tox chat, they tell me. And like other injunctions they have received, they are ignoring it.

Since 2022 the companies that profit from the #Internet have been shedding technical staff in the belief of the power of #AI to replace their #workforce. What are they replacing or redirecting this capacity with?

“Mozilla is eliminating its advocacy division, which fought for a free and open web: The #MozillaFoundation laid off 30 percent of its workforce and completely eliminated its advocacy and global programs divisions, #TechCrunch reports.

While Mozilla is best known for its Firefox web browser, the Mozilla Foundation — the parent of the #MozillaCorporation — describes itself as standing up “for the health of the internet.” With its advocacy and global programs divisions gone, its impact may be lessened going forward.

“Fighting for a free and open internet will always be core to our mission, and advocacy continues to be a critical tool in that work. We’re revisiting how we pursue that work, not stopping it,” #BrandonBorrman, the Mozilla Foundation’s communications chief, said in an email to The Verge. Borrman declined to confirm exactly how many people were laid off, but said it was about “30% of the current team.”

This is Mozilla’s second round of layoffs this year. In February, the Mozilla Corporation laid off around 60 workers said it would be making a “strategic correction” that would involve involve cutting back its work on a Mastodon instance. Mozilla shut down its virtual 3D platform and refocused its efforts on #Firefox and #AI. The Mozilla Foundation had around 120 employees before this more recent round of layoffs, according to TechCrunch.

“Navigating this topsy-turvy, distracting time requires laser focus — and sometimes saying goodbye to the excellent work that has gotten us this far because it won’t get us to the next peak,” wrote Syed, who previously worked as the chief executive of The Markup, an investigative news site. “Lofty goals demand hard choices.”

「DOGEのHRメールが『Bee Movie』スパム扱いされる」: #TechCrunch

「週末、イーロン・マスクは440億ドルを投じて買収したプラットフォーム『X』でフォロワーにアンケートを実施し、連邦政府職員は今週達成した5つのことをリストにしたメールを彼のチームに送ることを義務付けるべきかどうかを尋ねた。

賛成票が70%を超えたため、マスクはそれを実行した。

連邦政府職員は今週末、米国人事管理局(OPM)から電子メールを受け取った。「(ドナルド・トランプ大統領の)指示に従い、すべての連邦政府職員は間もなく、先週何ができたかを把握するよう求める電子メールを受け取ることになる。

連邦政府職員が職を失う恐れがあるため、Reddit、TikTok、Threads、Blueskyなどのソーシャルメディア・プラットフォームの人々は、現在公開されているメールアドレスに無意味なスパムを送るよう、互いに呼びかけている。」

「ノイズキャンセリングヘッドホンが頭を混乱させている?」: #TechCrunch

「ヘッドホンを耳に近づけて大音量で聞くと、聴力に悪影響があることは誰もが知っている。

しかし、BBCの報道によれば、最近のイヤホンで大人気のノイズキャンセリング機能に関して、新たな健康上の懸念が浮上している可能性があるという。

記事では、聴力検査で正常と判定されたものの、音に集中できず、その後音声処理障害(APD)と診断された25歳の英国人女性を含め、ノイズキャンセリング機能を使って厄介な周囲の雑音を定期的に遮断しようとする人々の脳が、この技術によって本質的に再配線されている可能性があるかどうかを考察している。

APDは、音や話し言葉を理解する脳の能力に影響を及ぼす神経学的疾患である。

英国国民保健サービスの5つの聴覚科がBBCに語ったところによると、音を処理する能力に関連する同様の問題を抱えた若者の紹介件数が増加しているという。」
