Sonos Updates Privacy Policy

Technology

Chris Welch, writing for? The Verge :

As highlighted by repair technician and consumer privacy advocate? Louis Rossmann , Sonos has made a significant change to its privacy policy, at least in the United States, with the removal of one key line. The updated policy no longer contains a sentence that previously said, “Sonos does not and will not sell personal information about our customers.” That pledge is still present in other countries, but it’s nowhere to be found in the updated US policy, which went into effect earlier this month.

It has not been a good few months for Sonos.

Scraping the Web Now, Asking for Permission Later

Apple

Federico Viticci, writing at MacStories about Apple’s details on their AI model being trained on web content:

As a creator and website owner, I guess that these things will never sit right with me. Why should we accept that certain data sets require a licensing fee but anything that is found “on the open web” can be mindlessly scraped, parsed, and regurgitated by an AI? Web publishers (and  especially  indie web publishers  these days , who cannot afford  lawsuits  or hiring law firms to strike expensive  deals ) deserve better.

I agree wholeheartedly. I felt similarly when I looked at the data that trained Google’s AI. I see Chorus and our forum very clearly in their training data. We didn’t agree to that. Our community never agreed to that. Google played a massive role in devaluing small and medium sized websites (and the online ad business) and we’re certainly not going to be the ones getting any publishing deals . None of it sits well with me.

Gooseberry – “Dying To Meet You” (Video Premiere)

Gooseberry

Today I’m thrilled to bring everyone the latest single and video from Alt Rock band, Gooseberry , called “ Dying To Meet You. ” The song comes from the band’s debut LP, All My Friends Are Cattle , out everywhere music is sold on September 6th. Band member Asa Daniels shared about the track, “For the breakdowns in this song, our producer (Colin Bryson) brought a tiny handheld distortion mic into the studio for me to scream into. And I screamed my head off. That was cathartic. Hopefully this song brings our fans catharsis. Or a sore throat.” If you’re enjoying the latest single/video from Gooseberry, please consider supporting this talented band here . I was also able to catch up with the band for a brief interview below.
