Podcast appearances and mentions of Geoffrey A Fowler

On this airing of Your Money Matters, Jon Hansen is joined by Tech Columnist for The Washington Post, Geoffrey A. Fowler, to talk about Amazon Clinic and why you might want to think twice before clicking on the terms and agreements to join.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 1: According to a report from The Washington Post, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is expected to adopt a “controversial facial recognition technology for passenger screening at 16 major domestic airports.” Geoffrey A. Fowler writes, “[a]ny time data gets collected somewhere, it could also be stolen — and you only get one face. The TSA says all its databases are encrypted to reduce hacking risk. But in 2019, the Department of Homeland Security disclosed that photos of travelers were taken in a data breach, accessed through the network of one of its subcontractors.” The “one to one” facial verification testing could be rolled out nationally by the end of 2023. According to reports from The Gateway Pundit and Libs of TikTok, Hunterdon Central Regional High School in Flemington, New Jersey held a “drag show” in which students dressed up and performed. Department of Energy's Samuel Brinton, who oversees nuclear waste management, has been placed on leave, according to the Biden Administration. Brinton has been accused of stealing a suitcase with contents worth over $2,300. After making numerous anti-Semitic statements on Thursday, Kanye West was banned from Twitter, according to the platform's owner Elon Musk. During an interview with Andrew Ross Sorkin at The New York Times' DealBook conference, Netflix CEO Reed Hastings expressed excitement about Elon Musk's plans for Twitter. Hastings also defended his company's decision to be the home of comedian Dave Chappelle's sometimes controversial stand-up specials.

Over the past six years in particular, we have learned that FBI officials routinely deceive not only the public but also the institutions designed to protect the public from FBI overreach. Agents lie to supervisors. Supervisors lie to judges. FBI directors mislead Congress.

Herman writes, “Republicans ignore early voting and mail-in balloting at their peril. According to Gallup, from 2010 to 2014 Republicans had the edge in early voting. But in the 2018 midterms, the GOP lead had slipped to 46% compared with 44.7% for Democrats. By the Biden-Trump election, the Democrats had a 54% to 32% advantage over Republicans, with 38% of independents voting before Election Day.” Read the article at: https://www.wsj.com/articles/gop-needs-to-embrace-early-voting-election-day-ballot-harvesting-social-media-absentee-habits-pennsylvania-11669913240?mod=opinion_lead_pos5 6:45pm- On behalf of Elon Musk and Twitter, investigative journalist Matt Taibbi released a series of tweets documenting Twitter's efforts to suppress the Hunter Biden laptop story prior to the 2022 Presidential election. Taibbi wrote, “[b]y 2020, requests from connected actors to delete tweets were routine. One executive would write to another: ‘More to review from the Biden team.' The reply would come back: ‘Handled.'”

Today on “Post Reports,” we talk to tech columnist Geoffrey A. Fowler about how apps are spying on our kids — and what we can do to stop it. Read more:Geoff has been looking at tech from a consumer perspective in his series We the Users, and he says apps are spying on our kids at a scale that should shock you. More than two-thirds of the 1,000 most popular iPhone apps likely to be used by children collect and send their personal information out to the advertising industry, according to a major new study shared with Geoff by fraud and compliance software company Pixalate. On Android, 79 percent of popular kids apps do the same. On today's show, Geoff tells us who the biggest offenders are, and what parents can do to protect their kids' privacy online.

GeekWire editor Todd Bishop: A few weeks ago, I started wearing a new health band. It regularly eavesdrops on my side of conversations, and it has a lot of opinions about them. “You had three phrases that sounded annoyed, irritated or disgusted," a section in the app reported on a recent evening, recapping my daily interactions. Not only that, but I had "one phrase that sounded stubborn or condescending.” Another feature invites me to strip down to my underwear for a picture. "Find a well-lit area and try to avoid light from behind," a voice from the app instructed me as it prepared to conduct a high-tech, 3D body scan. "Change into minimal clothing so the camera can see your body.” Yes, as you might have guessed by now, this is the Amazon Halo band and subscription service, part of the tech giant’s big move into health and wellness. Thanks to its revelations, I am now painfully aware of my tone of voice, and more empathetic toward my family and friends who have to put up with me. I've informed the Amazon team of a feature request from my wife, who would like to receive an emailed report on my tone of voice at the end of each day. As for the body scan, let's just say this is one image that I won't be publishing with this story, and you're welcome. You might have seen reviews of Halo. The Washington Post’s Geoffrey A. Fowler and Heather Kelly wrote that it “collects the most intimate information we’ve seen from a consumer health gadget — and makes the absolute least use of it.” Based on my own experience, I agree with the first point, but not the second. Yes, Halo pushes the limits of my comfort zone at times. I have yet to get the motivation to take a second body scan after the first experience. But I have also started to rely on several of the features, including the in-depth sleep analysis and the tone assessment — two big areas where I personally have lots of room for improvement.  The band is comfortable to wear, and the programs in the app are useful. Just this week I boosted my time in deep sleep after doing a recommended progressive muscle relaxation exercise available in the Halo app before bed. And despite concerns from U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar and others about the personal data Halo collects, I've found Amazon to be transparent about what it's doing, and clear in enabling me as the user to choose to participate, or not, in the more invasive aspects of the app. Yet Amazon could be doing even more to build trust. On this episode of the GeekWire Health Tech Podcast, we explore the future of health — and test the limits of personal privacy — through Amazon’s new health band and service. We talk with the principal medical officer on the Amazon Halo team to get the inside details on what the company is doing, and we hear an outside assessment of Amazon’s privacy and security promises from an independent expert.

Over the last few months, simmering behind the daily updates of COVID-19 cases, a social media app has been under scrutiny. TikTok, owned by Chinese-based company ByteDance has become massively popular with users around the world, however privacy concerns around data has seen it banned in India, and chatter suggests that the USA and Australia may follow suit.But as many of the estimated 500 million worldwide TikTok users have suggested, many of whom are teenagers, isn’t it all just a bit of harmless fun?To help talk through this conundrum, I've invited Josh Hawkins - better known as Hi Josh - on to the show. Josh came to fame on YouTube throwing stuff over his shoulder, but has since branched out with videos on Facebook, Instagram, and yes, TikTok. In total, his videos have been viewed more than 350 million times, including a couple million on TikTok. Together we discussed the popularity of TikTok, the risks involved, and the way in which the platform has been defending itself among the Australian public.Find Josh Hawkins on Instagram @hijosh, Facebook @hijosh, and on YouTube at @hijosh.

Author of Books for Living Interview starts at 19:07 and ends at 43:15 "One of the reasons I come back to Lin Yutang is a marvelous story he tells, in 1937, about being in the most famous tea house in China. And the tourists there are so busy taking photographs of themselves drinking tea that they don't enjoy the tea. And I thought to myself, ‘We blame too much on the machines.' Constant connectivity is our fault. It's not the fault of the little items we hold in our hands. And it's been a problem—distraction and impatience have been with us since the dawn of time. So my first thing is to blame myself and not the machine. News “How Alexa Won CES” (video) by Geoffrey A.
