RFK Jr’s autism study collecting Americans’ private medical records The National Institutes of Health claims it is fulfilling RFK’s promise to find cause of autism by September

As part of the NIH autism study, Kennedy says they will collect data from a wide swath of sources including from people's smartwatches, insurance claims, genetic info from VA and Indian Affairs. Is this really about #autism or is it about our data? #DataGrab

🤔 Is the whole "DOGE takeover of gov systems" thing really about dog memes, or is it a sneaky data grab to train xAI? It's the last big data frontier LLMs haven't conquered yet... just sayin'. #Doge #xAI #DataGrab #LLM #ConspiracyTheories #JustAsking

My current reading: Ulises A. Mejias & Nick Couldry’s #DataGrab. A very accessible yet constructive book talking about the problem of #coloniality in the digital world.
