• In Coronavirus Fight, China Gives Citizens a Color Code, With Red Flags (NYT, March 1 - by past guest Paul Mozur - April 22, 2019 Techtonic - and Raymond Zhong and Aaron Krolik): "A new system uses software to dictate quarantines — and appears to send personal data to police, in a troubling precedent for automated social control."

• Activate This ‘Bracelet of Silence,’ and Alexa Can’t Eavesdrop (NYT by Kashmir Hill, Feb 14, 2020): quotes past guest Scott Urban, as listed above: “New technologies are continually eroding our privacy and anonymity. People are looking for an opt-out, which is what I’m trying to provide.”

As awesome as those Reflectacles are, and as super cool as it is of Scott to donate them here, it's a solution that, really, is only there for the affluent -- not the people who, say, only have internet access through the Google spy LinkNYC towers.
