The Trump administration’s Federal Trade Commission has removed four years worth of business guidance blogs as of Tuesday morning, including important consumer protection information related to artificial intelligence and the agency’s landmark privacy lawsuits under former chair Lina Khan against companies like Amazon and Microsoft. More than 300 blogs were removed.

      I have been wondering the same thing. It would be useful to have an active docket of the DOJ for all cases against large corporations and how many now lose steam or have the lead attorneys replaced.

      I also worry about the whistleblower program. If you are a corporate whistleblower, if the government wins on your tip you get around 15%-ish of the takings. So, whistleblowing on something big enough can net you a few million USD or more. Something else to watch. I assume this will break quickly too under this administration.

        For future whistleblowers: get some temporary IP, then Russian piracy sites are your best friend!

          Do you know anything about printer steganography? That’s what nailed Reality Winner ultimately.

              I know about mixing the yellow dots by adding mode. But Erased? Do you have any resources I could learn from?

                There’s some tools already to remove them, but just rebuild the document with OCR, or filter out the yellow dots somehow with photo editing (levels is your friend)
