Department of Defense Wants To Develop "New Breakthrough Technologies" without Congressional Pre-Approval or Reporting Requirements
⚡️@takebackourtech | SOURCE

Originally reported by The Debrief:

Military officials recently testified in support of a Pentagon proposal that would allow it to spend up to $300M on new programs without congressional pre-approval.

To initiate a new program, the Secretary of Defense would have to certify there was “a compelling national security need,” which required the leveraging of an “emergent technological advancement” or to “provide a rapid response to an emerging threat.”

DoD officials seem to be very shaken by China's technological advancement. A bizzare comment by Dr. Kirkpatrick - director of the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) indicates that the DoD thinks that China and Russia could be behind "Unidentified Aerial Phenomena", or UFOs.

While the US people face tremendous challenges, these out-of-touch officials plainly show they're not interested in anything except the pursuit of war and shielding themselves from public awareness / accountability.

⚡️ Kids Who Get Smartphones Earlier Become Adults with Worse Mental Health
@takebackourtech | SOURCE

A new report from Sapien Labs analyzed the results of a mental-health survey with ~28,000 18-24 year olds. They looked at the relationship between what age they first got smart phones and a Mental Health Quotient (MHQ) calculated through a mental health assessment (Global Mind Project).

The relationship between mental wellbeing at age 18-24 and age of first smartphone acquisition remained significant, even in those with no traumatic or adverse childhood experience.

This included the areas of 'social self' (how we compare to otheres), mental function, mood & outlook, adaptability, suicidal thoughts, aggressions, and detachment.

Read the full report.

The data also shows that females were impacted far more severely than their male counterparts, with MHQ scores 20-25 points lower on average.

We all intuitively are aware of the negative health effects of tech on young people. Seeing it quantified is shocking.

Its also important to take a closer look at what exactly on the smart phone is contributing to these mental health issues. In my opinion, its not just phone calls & texts - its social media that's the major source of the problem. I know I've felt my mental health improve dramatically ever since I left those platforms.

Even as someone who promotes alternative privacy phones - I am in total support of waiting until high school to give children smart phones. And more importantly, we need to take a closer look at the content, apps and algorithms that are damaging younger people and educate on ways to have healthier relationships with tech & social media.

⚡️How Law Enforcement Spy On Protests
@takebackourtech | SOURCE

A new report released by The Intercept shows how law enforcements get a real-time feed to activism & protests.

In this specific case the U.S Marshals service received updates on abortion protests.

Internal emails show that the U.S. Marshals Service received regular alerts from Dataminr, a company that persistently monitors social media for corporate and government clients, about the precise time and location of both ongoing and planned abortion rights demonstrations.

The emails show that Dataminr flagged the social media posts of protest organizers, participants, and bystanders, and leveraged Dataminr’s privileged access to the so-called firehose of unrestricted Twitter data to monitor constitutionally protected speech.

—
It would be interesting to see the raw results of the FOIA request and to see how many health freedom protests were included in reports.

From this report, we see that law enforcement has tools to monitor platforms like Twitter & Telegram, that they monitors the names of prominent officials, and is aware of when and where events are occurring.

Its another reminder to keep your serious change-making in the private.
