Now THIS is how you use your wealth and platform for good!

Evan Spiegel and Miranda Kerr just wiped out $550 million in medical debt for over 260,000 Californians, partnering with RIP Medical Debt to make it happen. The $550 million figure is staggering when you remember that medical debt is typically purchased for pennies on the dollar, meaning their actual outlay was a fraction of that, but the relief felt by those 260,000 people is very, very real! Check out what they had to say above.

Civil rights attorney Alejandra Caraballo has published a data analysis of New York Times trans coverage, and the findings are getting a lot of attention. According to the analysis, something shifted editorially around 2022 — stories that had previously centered trans people’s lives and rights started giving way to a steadier diet of medical doubt and political conflict framing. GLAAD and other advocacy organizations say they saw this coming and have been raising the alarm for years.

!! OMG, Pokémon Go data: From catching Pikachu to training military drones !!

Remember 2016? You were wandering into traffic trying to catch a Snorlax, and we were ALL doing it, don’t lie. Well, it turns out those little video scans you submitted of real-world landmarks during gameplay weren’t just for funsies… they were being fed into a massive 3D geospatial model that a Niantic spinoff called Niantic Spatial has been cooking with ever since.

The technology, a visual positioning system that works without GPS, is genuinely impressive: Delivery robots use it to navigate city streets. Cute, right? Very sci-fi, very “the future is now,” very. Oh. It’s also been integrated into military-grade software for drones and ground vehicles.

Yes, the same app that had your aunt wandering around a cemetery at midnight looking for a Gastly has, allegedly, contributed data to weapons programs. Users are… how do we put this… unthrilled. Critics are pointing out that “informed consent” is doing some very heavy lifting here when nobody signed up to crowdsource surveillance infrastructure for warfare. The developers insist the data is anonymized and used only for AI training, which is exactly what someone would say, isn’t it.

Oh, dystopia! We always knew those Pokémon were up to something.

Labour rights are SW rights. Pull up if you can!
