Most of the LinkedIn anomaly isn’t real. It’s from the extensive education partnerships w/ Microsoft. They link every student in orgs to a LinkedIn. It's why so many know they have it, but don't understand it. For under 25s it‘s another logo in the Outlook address thing

When any measurable attention is given to content surfaced in feeds, users are bundled up and segmented for targeting. Today’s feed is intentionally fragmented - a multiverse of hyper content, priming topics and product categories that can be followed by ads & sponsored content

“…sent from from comprised law enforcement systems?” Fair’s fair; this fact makes it a different story, and the headline above is a little misleading nitter.gq/WilliamTurton/status/1…

Too complex for Twitter, but the gist here is while we know cookie-based consent is a novelty, PII is broadcast & processed pre-consent by devices at multiple software+hardware levels. And prerequisite for access to web, email & apps. And declining consent can make matters worse

I did a high-level scan of the last three days of the subreddit. ~250k posts/comments. I can compare this data over a longer time span soon, but essentially there’s a doubling of $wsb moderator [deleted] posts each day as a percentage of total post volume:

I’ve watched as WSB nerd quant culture was supplanted by every YOLOer wanting to make a quick $ w/zero effort or “DD.” The core WSB group (~250k max) are not the ppl being ostracized in screenshots & quoted threads in media right now. These are the new opportunists, the impostors

Country-specific categorical - Screening and Self-Reporting (ie, Track and Trace) Covid iOS app permissions breakdowns!

And another preview, this one for coded SDKs

This is a good example of contextual correlation & implicit bias creep. Not a noise issue. Client-side ML & resulting model may exacerbate this bias. The more you type ^he who should not be named^ in a political action context, the more you train local algo to rec it @tim_cook
