I read all of X Money's FAQs, terms, and little footnotes, so you don't have to...

@mrose.ink confirmed my suspicions that the Google and Reddit fight with a web scraper over public search results is exactly as weird as I thought it was.

For folks reaching out: Kroll will likely extend the deadline to sign up for free monitoring if you ask. Most likely, they will not tell you specifically how your data got breached, though, and the process to get the extension will likely require more than one call. arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

My SSN was exposed in a breach at Columbia—a school I have no connection withColumbia admits last year’s data breach exposed victims beyond its students, staff.arstechnica.com

Columbia’s hidden victims are a weird case, a data breach expert told me, bc normally it’s shady data brokers covering up data no one knows they got, not trusted institutions. And we’ll never know how they got it, bc they somehow deleted those files but not the SSNs. arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

It took months of asking questions for Columbia to finally explain how my SSN got swept into its data breach, along with an untold number of other victims who never attended, applied to, or worked for the school and were never publicly acknowledged until now. arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

I had not seen US cops recently charged a man for using Grok to make CSAM as recently as March, which seems relevant as the first state prepares to ban nudifying apps.

I used to cover school shootings for Teen Vogue, so trust me when I say these cases are extremely hard to read. One mother whose daughter is still fighting for her life said she would do anything to go back, while Sam Altman says he's deeply sorry for OpenAI's actions arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

Ahead of the next Mar-a-Lago gala, I talked to a researcher analyzing suspected insider trading on Trump's memecoin and an ethicist who (with a grain of salt) thinks a crackdown on Trump's crypto empires may be coming soon... arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

I think it's hard for NCMEC to discuss platform failings outside of these big lawsuits. So it interested me that NCMEC joined law enforcement in testifying that Meta's CSAM reporting is "useless" due to an over-reliance on AI: arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

Nobody wants age gates, especially when they don't understand how the age gates work. I tried to get the next wave of age check tech makers to talk directly about what's coming and why it's no longer acceptable to just say "trust us": arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

Users hate it, but age-check tech is coming. Here's how it works.On-device face scans and cross-platform age keys decrease privacy risks, but trust issues abound.arstechnica.com

New feature digs into the age check tech that Discord endorsed following widespread backlash. Bottom line: On-device checks—if they work as they claim—are more privacy-preserving, but privacy advocates still don't think age verification laws are effective enough to justify any of it:

As recently as January, Musk was insistent that he had seen "literally zero" examples of Grok CSAM, despite research flagging it. Girls suing hope this lawsuit will force Musk to finally confront that it exists and fix the problem, instead of allegedly profiting off kids' trauma.

Backlash may end up getting much bigger once “naughty chats” roll out and users get more curious about how age checks work…
