An alarming warning went out this week. U.S. service members received urgent orders from the Department of War: turn off location services on ALL electronic devices immediately. If the military is that concerned about surveillance through everyday tech, it raises an obvious question for the rest of us. Apart...

If there’s one lesson people are beginning to realize about modern technology, it’s this: The devices we rely on every day aren’t just tools. They’re surveillance systems. 👉 Learn more: Your phone tracks your location. Your apps collect your behavior. And now, AI integrated directly into your computer can record what you do on your screen every few seconds. Your emails. Your messages. Your searches. Even things you type but never send. That isn’t speculation. It’s the direction Big Tech has already taken. And the uncomfortable truth is that the people building these systems know exactly how powerful they are. Many of the same tech leaders who sell these devices to billions of users take extraordinary precautions with their own technology, covering cameras and limiting the very tools they encourage everyone else to use. Because data is power. And the more data that flows through these systems, the more influence the companies behind them gain over the digital world we all live in. But the playing field doesn’t have to stay that way. On Thursday, privacy experts Glenn and Eric Meder are hosting a free Privacy Academy webinar explaining exactly how these systems work and what people can do about them. During the training, they walk through how modern operating systems collect and analyze your behavior, how AI tools can build detailed behavioral profiles, and why many of the privacy settings people rely on don’t actually stop data collection. More importantly, they explain a practical alternative. Instead of relying on software designed around data collection, they show how privacy-focused systems like Linux can give users far more control over their own computers. And they break it down step by step so everyday people—not just programmers or tech experts—can understand how to make the transition. Because once you understand how these systems work, protecting your privacy becomes far easier than most people think. The free webinar is happening Thursday, March 5 at 7 PM Central, and it’s open to anyone who wants to understand how Big Tech is gathering data—and how to stop it. 👉 Register here: You can’t control the direction the tech industry chooses to take. But you can control how much access those systems have to your life. We want to thank Privacy Academy for helping everyday people understand how the digital world really works and for being a proud sponsor of this program. If you’re interested in learning more, visit do your own research, and decide if the training is right for you. Because when it comes to privacy, the most important step is understanding the system you’re living inside.

Comedian Jimmy Carr on why everyone's panicking about the wrong AI threat: Most people are worried AI will take their job. Jimmy Carr thinks that fear, while valid, is a distraction from two much bigger threats. "People are worried about the wrong thing with AI. In my humble opinion, people are worried about losing their job, right? Perfectly valid thing to worry about, but I think you're worried about the wrong thing." The first threat he points to is the collapsing cost of authoritarian control: "The cost of running an authoritarian regime like the Stasi has come down by 10 orders of magnitude in the last 3 years. In East Germany, that was like 20% of GDP on spying on people. Now? You've got cameras, AI, and everyone's got a phone on them. We're tracking everything at all times." In other words, what once required a fifth of a country's entire economy can now be done with infrastructure most of us already carry in our pockets. Jimmy Carr then makes a chilling historical case for why digital ID specifically should worry us: "More Jews died in the Netherlands than in France. You know why? Better records. Holland kept better records. So they knew where everyone was." Records aren't neutral. In the wrong hands, comprehensive data on a population becomes a weapon, and AI is helping build the most comprehensive records in human history. The second threat is what happens when we turn AI loose on the foundations of science itself: "If you take the compute power of AI and point it as at physics, now everything else in science is stamp collecting. Right. Physics is the real thing. That gave us everything. Every bit of technology that we have comes from the physics department." Jimmy isn't entirely doom-and-gloom about it. He sees the upside clearly: "We could have a world of plenty. If we increase productivity by 50 times and there's a human flourishing, fantastic. I hope that's the world we live in. But it could go another way."

Director James Cameron on why Big Tech owning AGI is scarier than any science fiction he's ever made: "AGI will not emerge from a government funded program. It will emerge from one of the tech giants currently funding this multi-billion dollar research." And when that happens, he warns, you won't get a vote on it: "So then you'll be living in a world that you didn't agree to, didn't vote for, that you are co-inhabiting with a super intelligent alien species that answers to the goals and rules of a corporation." A corporation that already knows everything about you: "An entity which has access to the comms, beliefs, everything you ever said, and the whereabouts of every person in the country via your personal data." From there, the slide toward something far darker is shorter than most people think: "Surveillance capitalism can toggle pretty quickly into digital totalitarianism." And even the best-case outcome isn't reassuring. Tech giants becoming the self-appointed arbiters of human good is, as he puts it, the fox guarding the hen house. He's not buying the idea that these companies would stay benevolent with that kind of power: "They would never ever think of using that power against us and strip mining us for our last drop of cash." The sarcasm is the point. Cameron has spent four decades imagining worst-case futures on screen. His verdict on this one: "That's a scarier scenario than what I presented in the Terminator 40 years ago, if for no other reason than it's no longer science fiction."
