so how did the substack get the information?black mirror episode. and a warning, quote, commercially available app signal data does not identify the name of app users but instead correlates a unique mobile identifier to each mobile device using particular apps. signal data connected by apps after users consent to data collection is aggregated and sold by data vendors. it can be analyzed to provide time stamped location data and usage information for each guice. after users consent to data collection, how many times have you done that to make those pop ups go away? a spokeswoman said, quote, the alleged activities listed in that untributed blog post are infeasible from a technical standpoint and incredibly unlikely to occur. there's absolutely no evidence supporting the allegation of improper data collection or usage relate today the grindr app as purported. according to the harvard business review collecting and selling data is mated to be a $200 billion business. but there are no federal laws in the united states restricting th

patti smith, who is a great friend, ran it on — she does a substack where she — she writes and speakst we had had a few days prior by showing that exact clip and so, i — you know, it does feel a million miles away. i miss performing, certainly. it's been almost ten years now since the band, rem, disbanded. and that was a huge part of my entire adult life, was performing and being a very, very public figure and a very public performer. and, you know, with my own, like, kind of take on subverting from within, you know, creating this — i didn't have to create a persona. i am the persona. ijust exaggerated it slightly for the public — but creating this thing whereby we really were extremely mainstream but what we were presenting through our political ideas, through who i am as a person, were not mainstream at all, and i'm quite proud of that. but, yes, of course, i do miss it and it feels like a long time ago. here's a fun quote. i don't know if you remember him saying it, but your band—mate peter buck, in the late �*80s, said this. he said, "i think it is within us to make one of those t
