The U.S. Department of Justice is escalating its battle with TikTok and, by extension, its parent company ByteDance. The government is suing the company for illegally collecting the data of users under 13 without permission from those children's parents.The suit alleges TikTok knew these users were under 13 years old when they allowed them to make accounts on the app. What's worse, the DoJ claims that when parents asked TikTok to delete their kids' accounts, the company frequently did not oblige. There are two key violations at play here, according to the government: The DoJ believes TikTok violated the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, which has strict rules about tracking kids' activity online. The Justice Department also says TikTok violated a 2019 agreement the company made with the government, in which TikTok would both let parents know before they collected data from children, as well as delete videos from users under the age of 13.TikTok and the U.S. are at oddsThis is just the latest development in the battle between TikTok and the U.S. government. Congress has been after TikTok for years, seeing the app as a major security risk for Americans. ByteDance is based in China, which means it is beholden to the Chinese government's data requests. The U.S. government believes this is a huge vulnerability, potentially allowing the Chinese government to harvest American user data, as well as influence the content users in the U.S. actually see.Earlier this year, Congress got their wish, when they passed a bill that would ban the app in the U.S. unless ByteDance divested from the app. President Biden signed the bill into law, which means ByteDance either needs to sell, or risk losing its hundreds of millions of American users. For a full explanation of the situation, check out my timeline of the TikTok ban.TikTok shot back, however, suing the U.S. over this bill, citing constitutional violations. Now, there are two lawsuits between the U.S. and TikTok, and a looming ban. However you slice it, things aren't looking great for so many people's favorite short-form video app.

The United States Department of Education has announced borrowers should check their emails to learn if they may be eligible for the wide-scale loan cancellation. This move is part of the Biden-Harris administrations efforts to work around the Supreme Court's previous ruling against Biden's original sweeping student loan forgiveness plan. Now, the proposed rulewhich is still being finalizedaims to provide narrower, more targeted debt relief. What this news means for youBorrowers who may qualify for this relief should keep an eye out for official communications and be prepared to take any necessary steps to apply or confirm their eligibility. In its email to borrowers, the department lists four categories of eligibility:Borrowers who owe more than they did at the start of repayment.Those who entered repayment on their undergraduate loans on or before July 1, 2005, or, if they have graduate loans, on or before July 1, 2000.People who are already eligible for student loan forgiveness under one of the governments existing programs but just havent yet applied.Students from low-financial value programs.In general, when it comes to more targeted eligibility, there are three main programs at play: Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF), the Saving on a Valuable Education (SAVE) Plan, and income-driven repayment (IDR) plans. "Hopefully, millions will get their student loans forgiven under these programs," says Shaan Patel, CEO of Prep Expert.According to Patel, there are strong indications that more and more loans will be forgiven, as well as expanded relief through means like "waiving interest, automatic forgiveness, specifically targeted assistance for those facing financial hardship," and more. The final rule on this debt reliefis expected to go out sometime in October. For now, the Department of Education says those who want to be included in the relief do not need to do anything. No application will be needed.So, as the landscape of student loans and college financing continues to evolve, staying informed about new programs and opportunities is crucial. This potential debt relief for millions of borrowers marks a hopeful shift in addressing the student loan crisis. However, for incoming students, a proactive and comprehensive approach to financing their education remains essential.Finding the best way to pay for collegeFor most incoming college students, the path to financing their education can be daunting. Scholarships and loans are often some of the only viable options, and the number of choices can be incredibly overwhelming.Patel breaks down the main two paths forward for prospective students: loans and merit-based aid.When it comes to loans, Patel urges borrowers to regularly visit studentaid.gov, in order to stay on top of any updates to eligibility, deadlines, or new programs available to you.Another tip from Patel is to negotiate your financial aid packagean option "many students and parents don't even realize is available to them." If your family's financial situation has changed since you originally applied months agofrom, say, job loss or medical expensesthen you should document these circumstances and send a formal appeal letter to your financial aid office. Patel stresses the importance of going in person or speaking to the office over the phone, if possible. Compared to the impersonal communication of an email, you'll be better poised to make your case and understand the timeline for getting a response. And like with any negotiation, if you have a better offer from another school, bring that up. The financial aid office may be able to match or approve upon that competing offer. When it comes to scholarships and other types of merit-based aid, Patel's big tip is go local. "When I was a senior in high school, I applied to 100 scholarships," shares Patel. "I won 20, and 19 of those scholarships were local to my city and state." It makes sense: With national scholarships, your competition is stiff. With niche, local scholarships, you increase your odds tenfold. Do some in-depth research about scholarships available in your area. There could be a local business you've never heard of that has a program with money available to fund your way to school.Patel shares one more underrated strategy for anyone short on college funds: Consider attending a junior community college for two years, and then transferring to a traditional four-year institution. You can save significant amount on tuition and fees, and "many community colleges have existing transfer agreements with four-year universities to ensure a seamless and cost-effective transition." Patel knows many students who have been able to transfer to top universities after essentially halving the cost of a four-year degree.The takeawayBy exploring all available options, including federal aid and niche, local scholarships, students can make informed decisions that align with their educational goals and financial circumstances. Remember, the key is to start early and stay organized. Again: Regularly visit studentaid.gov to take advantage of the most up-to-date tools and information for debt relief.

When it comes to tracking health and fitness data, we most often think about smartwatches and other wearables. As it turns out, your Android phone can track some basic metrics all by itself, and you might not even be aware it's happening.Apps such as Google Fit and Samsung Health can log steps, active minutes, calories burned, and more in the background while you use your phone day to day, and they can also share data with other health and fitness apps on your phone.Of course, this can all be useful for insights into your health and daily routine, but it's important to be aware of what's being collected and where it's being stored. Best of all, running an audit of these apps only takes a few minutes.How your data is storedGoogle Fit now makes use of an underlying technology called Health Connect, which manages everything locally on your smartphone and keeps it fully encrypted: This data can't be accessed by anyone else, unless they're somehow able to unlock your phone, and it applies to all the apps who want to use the Health Connect standard.As for Google Fit, it does sync data to the cloud as a backup, but it isn't end-to-end encrypted. That means it has Google's standard security protections around it, but someone at Google could technically see that data if they wanted to. This is actually the same as a lot of Google services, including Gmail: You're trusting the company to keep your data secure and safe. Health Connect manages apps connected to Google Fit and Samsung Health. Credit: Lifehacker It's a similar story when it comes to anything saved to Samsung Health: By default, this data is stored locally on your phone and encrypted there using Samsung's own Knox technology. You also have the option to save it to the cloud if you want, which lets you sync it between devices. By default, this isn't end-to-end encrypted either, so while it will be well-protected, there is some element of risk in terms of it being hacked.That said, Samsung recently introduced an Enhanced Data Protection mode for files stored in Samsung Cloud, including those synced from Samsung Health. That means data in the cloud will be fully encrypted and inaccessible by everyone else, though for the time being it's only available on the Samsung Galaxy S24 series.Checking health data trackingOpen up Google Fit on your Android phone and you'll get an overview of all the health and fitness data that's currently being tracked by your handset: You'll typically see steps, energy expended, and heart points (a measure of your exercise routines) if the default data types are being logged.Any of this data can be deleted by heading to the Profile tab, tapping the gear icon (top right), then choosing Delete your data. The next screen lets you delete data from particular categories, or completely erase everything. To delete an individual data point, such as a single run, select it from the Journal screen, then tap the three dots (top right) and choose Delete. You can delete data with a couple of taps. Credit: Lifehacker To stop any of the tracking Google Fit is doing, or to stop it communicating with other apps, open the Profile tab, tap the gear icon (top right), then Manage data and access. From here, you can choose App permissions to connect or disconnect third-party health and fitness apps, and Data and access to manage particular data categories.So, for example, to stop Google Fit tracking your steps every day, you would head to Data and access > Activity > Steps > Fit. Here, turn off the Steps toggle, and you're done. The same screen lists all the different types of data that Google Fit can log if you want it to, and it's the same if you select another app. You have control over the data Google Fit can access. Credit: Lifehacker If you have a Samsung Galaxy device and Samsung Health, there are a few differences. You can select a type of data, such as steps, then tap the three dots (top right) to pause recording that type of data. To wipe all of your data, head to the Home tab, tap the three dots, then choose Settings and Erase personal data.From the same Settings page, you can access Health Connect, which works the same way as it does inside Google Fit: You can manage which apps (including Samsung Health) have access to the data your phone's sensors are reporting, dig into the different categories of data that have been logged, and choose which apps and connected devices (like smartwatches) are allowed to report back to Samsung Health.

Bleach makes a great disinfectant, but safety is important. You already know not to mix it with ammonia, vinegar, or alcohol, but did you know that the temperature of the water also matters? Here's a guide to properly diluting bleach so you can use it as a disinfectant. Spoiler: a lot of you are doing it wrong.Why dilute bleach? If you want to disinfect a surface with bleach, diluting bleach with water is actually more effective than using it straight. Diluted bleach is also gentler on the materials that the bleach contacts, and saves money and troublea bottle of bleach can last a very long time when you're only using a few tablespoons at a time.Use cold or room temperature waterWhen washing things with soap, we usually go with warm or hot water, since heat energy helps chemical molecules to interact with each other more often. If you've ever washed dishes with cold water at a campsite, compared to the hot water of your sink at home, you already know this difference. But when it comes to sanitizing with bleach, the higher temperature isn't worth the drawbacks. Using hot water isnt dangerous, like some other things people are doing with bleach (please dont put it on your skin), but it has some distinct disadvantages. First, a steamy hot bleach solution is more likely to allow some of the bleach to waft into the air. Bleach fumes can irritate your eyes and nose, and you should be using bleach in a well-ventilated place if possible, anyway. Using room temperature water will minimize this effect. The other problem is that hot water will make the chemicals in bleach break down more quickly. Even a properly made bleach solution will be less effective if you leave it out overnight, which is why you should mix up a fresh solution every day. If you need a bucket of diluted bleach to last for an afternoons cleaning spree, it will keep its effectiveness better with lukewarm water than with hot.There is one situation where hot water is okay, though, and thats laundry. Clorox says its fine to wash your clothes in hot bleachy water, and the heat can even help the bleach work more quickly. The concerns about fumes and about waning effectiveness dont apply when the bleach is confined to the inside of the washing machine for the short amount of time it takes to wash your socks. Use the right kind of bleachYou'll find a lot of things that market themselves as "bleach," like color-safe bleach, splashless bleach, Clorox-branded cleaning solutions, and more. When we're talking about using bleach to disinfect things, that refers to regular household bleach (like this) with an active ingredient of 8.25% sodium hypochlorite. For the dilution instructions below, the CDC says to use bleach that is anywhere between 5-9% sodium hypochlorite. If it doesn't give a percentage, don't use it. And if the percentage is outside that 5-9% range, either don't use it or look up the appropriate dilution ratio from the manufacturer or another source. Clorox Original Liquid bleach 64 oz - 2 Pack (128 oz Total) $18.99 at Amazon Shop Now Shop Now $18.99 at Amazon Mix the bleach and water in the correct ratioDon't just dump a glug of bleach into a bucket of water. Measure. The CDC recommends the following ratios, using standard household bleach: 5 tablespoons per gallon of room temperature water, or4 teaspoons per quart of room temperature waterNote the difference in units: if you're measuring by the gallon, you're using five tablespoons. That's a little more than a quarter-cup. (If you've heard that you should use 1/3 of a cup per gallon of water, that's basically the same as this rule. Close enough.) On the other hand, for a quart, that means four teaspoons. If you're mixing up a smaller amount for a spray bottle, two teaspoons will work for 16 ounces. This is easy math if you've memorized common kitchen unitsthree teaspoons to a tablespoon, four tablespoons to a quarter-cup, two cups to a pint, two pints to a quart, four quarts to a gallon. I understand that not everybody has committed these to memory, so here is a handy chart from Clorox that lays out the appropriate measurements for buckets and spray bottles of various sizes.Store it properlyDiluted bleach doesn't last forever. If you're mixing it in a bucket right before you use it, and dumping any leftovers down the drain immediately, you don't need to worry about storage. But if you're mixing a supply to use throughout the day, as in a spray bottle, dump it at the end of the day. Bleach breaks down once it's diluted, and the solution is only good for about 24 hours. That same spray bottle isn't going to be effective for sanitizing the day after tomorrow. Bleach solutions also break down faster in sunlight, so if you will be storing the solution temporarily, use an opaque container.

A guest who appeared on the No Jumper podcast to boast about a hack and payback scheme involving his victims social media accounts could face federal charges. Idriss Qibaa, also known as Dani and Unlocked who authorities allege ran the social media hacking site Unlocked4Life.com, faces two criminal felony counts filed by the US Attorney's Office in Nevada for allegedly violating interstate communications laws for threats he issued in text messages to two victims and members of their families, according to documents obtained by 404 Media.Investigators filed the sealed complaint against Qibaa on July 25 and issued a warrant the following Monday when also made his first initial appearance in court, according to federal court records.The criminal complaint states that the FBI received a tip about Qibaas alleged extortion scheme on April 1 pointing to an appearance he made on the No Jumper podcast hosted by Adam22, also known as Adam Grandmaison, back in January under his pseudonym Dani. Qibaa outlined a financial scheme using over 200 victims social media accounts in which he would lock them out of their pages and charge them to regain access.He also boasted that he made about $600,000 a month from his activities and hired two security guards to follow him.Youre making $2 million a month off your Instagram and Telegraph, Qibaa says on the podcast. I come and I take it away and make you pay for it back and I make it public and I post it and I expose you.Qibaa even said on the podcast episode that he pulled the scheme on celebrities who unknowingly kept paying him to get their social media back. He later noted Im very petty followed by a menacing laugh.Ive talked to stars who have told me that theyve paid to get it back 20 times over and over and over they just have to keep paying to get it back, Qibaa says, and Im like you realize whats happening to you right like the same thats getting you it back isyoure getting extorted.The criminal complaint tells the story of eight victims encounters with Qibaa and his services. One identified as J.T. operated two Instagram accounts: a cannabis news aggregate account called theblacklistxyz and a cannabis merchandising store under caliplug, both of which are currently set to private. J.T. reached out to Qibaa asking if he could obtain a username. Qibaa quoted a price back between $4,000-$5,000. J.T. refused to take Qibaa up on the offer and Qibaa responded with threats.Qibba told J.T. that J.T. had wasted Qibaas time, blocked J.T.s Instagram pages and demanded $10,000 to reinstate it, the complaint reads. J.T. offered Qibaa $8,500 to reinstate the account, an offer Qibaa accepted.The complaint asserts that Qibba reached out to J.T. two more times. The first time, Qibba asked if J.T. would promote his Instagram page under the username unlocked4life thats since been taken down. J.T. agreed but when he learned Qibaa had been threatening and extorting other victims, he confronted Qibaa and Qibaa was irate.A few months later, Qibaa apparently increased the scope of his threats to J.T. and members of his family. He sent threats to call the victims ex-wifes lawyer and child protective services on his kids. Screenshots of the victims phone show Qibaa allegedly identifying the address and phone number of the victims sister. He texted another family member and introduced himself as The guy thats gonna murder your drug dealer brother. Tell him Unlocked says hi though. We have your entire familys info.Another victim identified as a journalist and comedian with the initials E.H. learned they were a target of Qibaas illegal services. Qibaa blocked their Instagram account, the name of which was redacted, at the request of a dentist in California who treated them. E.H. reached out to the Unlocked4Life account and received a reply that read, Yo its Idriss. He then told E.H. to pull up the No Jumper podcast episode featuring his interview. Qibaa not only took the victims Instagram account access away but also threatened to take their Social Security number and blast it out if they didnt pay him $20,000.According to the complaint, not even restraining orders could make Qibaa leave his victims alone. One named R.B. received a restraining order from Los Angeles County Superior Court in July but Unblocked responded, Cute restraining order..last I checked youre still gonna die. Then UNLOCKED UNCENSORED posted on Telegram, $50,000 reward for whoever sleeps BO this week.Perhaps the most disturbing threats happened to several victims in which Qibaa claimed hed happily go to jail if payments werent made to him. Screenshots of the text chains show a person named Dani and Daniel telling his victims, I will come and shoot you myself, Im going to bury you for this shit and D., L., J., T., Children-Main Targets referring to the victims children.Another text chain shows Qibaa allegedly threatening someone that he would rather take a life sentence for murdering you then this, Idc if I have to shoot you my self [sic] and Ill go to jail happily. He follows the text with the threat Heres the last guy that came to take photos / came near my home and sends three pictures of an unidentified bearded man, his car and a photo of his badly bruised and bloodied on the ground.Adam22 concluded his podcast interview with Dani saying he was very excited to see the fallout from this and I respect the hustle even though I cant justify it on a moral level.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/hack-and-payback-instagram-scammer-gets-nabbed-after-bragging-about-it-on-a-podcast-202509349.html?src=rss

Google is phasing out an Olympics ad after for its AI-powered chatbot, Gemini, after receiving widespread criticism of showing a father use AI to help his daughter write a fan letter to her favorite athlete. The 60-second commercial, which is still available on YouTube, shows a father using Gemini to write a fan letter to an idol, Olympic track star Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone, on behalf of his young daughter.She wants to show Sydney some love and I am pretty good with words, but this has to be just right, the dad says in the commercial. So Gemini, help my daughter write a letter telling Sydney how inspiring she is. The ad ends with the words: A little help from Gemini.A Google spokesperson told CNBC that although the ad tested well before it aired, given the feedback, we have decided to phase the ad out of our Olympics rotation. The spokesperson added that the ads goal was to create an authentic story to celebrate Team USA. We believe that AI can be a great tool for enhancing human creativity, but can never replace it, they added.The commercial showing somebody having a child use AI to write a fan letter to her hero SUCKS, wrote Linda Holmes, the host of NPRs Pop Culture Happy Hour podcast, on Threads. Obviously there are special circumstances and people who need help, but as a general look how cool, she didnt even have to write anything herself! story, it SUCKS. Who wants an AI-written fan letter??Shelley Palmer, a professor of advanced media at Syracuse Universitys communications school, strongly criticized the ad in a widely-shared post on her blog. She argued that the commercials approach could lead to a monocultural future where original human thoughts become increasingly rare and expressed concern for the adss implications for parenting and education.The backlash reflects the broader debates around the role of AI in creative processes and its potential impact on the quality of human expression. As AI technologies continue to advance, companies are facing increasing scrutiny not only over how they portray and promote these tools but also about using the work of creative professionals without permission to train AI models.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/google-will-no-longer-air-an-olympics-ad-that-showed-a-child-using-ai-to-write-a-fan-letter-201214273.html?src=rss

The US Department of Justice is suing TikTok for violating a child privacy law and violating a 2019 agreement with the Federal Trade Commission for previous privacy violations. The lawsuit stems from an earlier investigation into the company by the Federal Trade Commission, which referred its privacy case to the DoJ earlier this year.The FTC had been looking into whether TikTok had violated the terms of an earlier privacy settlement with Musical.ly, which was acquired by ByteDance prior to the launch of TikTok. According to the FTC, the investigation found that TikTok had flagrantly violated both the 2019 settlement and the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).In a statement, the Justice Department also cited TikToks collection of personal information about children on its platform and its failure to comply with the requests for the information to be deleted.From 2019 to the present, TikTok knowingly permitted children to create regular TikTok accounts and to create, view, and share short-form videos and messages with adults and others on the regular TikTok platform. The defendants collected and retained a wide variety of personal information from these children without notifying or obtaining consent from their parents. Even for accounts that were created in Kids Mode (a pared-back version of TikTok intended for children under 13), the defendants unlawfully collected and retained childrens email addresses and other types of personal information. Further, when parents discovered their childrens accounts and asked the defendants to delete the accounts and information in them, the defendants frequently failed to honor those requests. The defendants also had deficient and ineffectual internal policies and processes for identifying and deleting TikTok accounts created by children.In a statement, TikTok said it took issue with the allegations, saying it had previously addressed some of the conduct described by the Justice Department. We disagree with these allegations, many of which relate to past events and practices that are factually inaccurate or have been addressed, the company said. We are proud of our efforts to protect children, and we will continue to update and improve the platform. To that end, we offer age-appropriate experiences with stringent safeguards, proactively remove suspected underage users, and have voluntarily launched features such as default screentime limits, Family Pairing, and additional privacy protections for minors.The lawsuit comes at a particularly inconvenient time for TikTok, which is set to face off with the Justice Department in federal court next month over a law that aims to force ByteDance to sell the app or face a ban in the United States.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/the-justice-department-sues-tiktok-for-breaking-child-privacy-laws-190456433.html?src=rss
