I don’t remember anything about this other than the name, but I think I enjoyed it.

Maybe, if they were able to. For what it is I think that could be difficult though.

Absolutely not. GCHQ does the same stuff the NSA does, but your overt surveillance (CCTV and the like) is significantly more than the US has. I think they probably like that the US gets all the publicity though.
In the US the cops have to ask private citizens for CCTV footage much of the time. Ring kind of let them in without doing that, but it is still a private entity.

It’s about criminal charges, they could not use this without a warrant. Mass surveillance is something else, the government will do what the government wants to do.
The cited case was regarding a person suspected of a marijuana grow. The police used thermal imaging without a warrant to get a conviction. The Supreme Court determined it was considered a search by the fourth amendment (5-4 decision, btw). That would be similar here.

The underlying government system, ShakeAlert, needs to be more publicized. There have been apps for these alerts for years now, even on iPhone. It is nice that Android has the option built in though.

What extremely useful features do you lose if you do not consent?
I don’t mind this usage, but I hate that “granular privacy controls” really mean “Let maps actually find me. Also pump out my live location to ad networks.”

Pretty sure it prompts you to turn it on or not during setup, just like fall detection on the watches.

Their social media was posting that they were banned, having those posts deleted, and then posting it again later.

Even earlier. Cable news loves to share “what twitter is saying” about everything and has for years.

He has aphasia which would make things confusing as you lose the use of language. I think the claims he was being taken advantage of went toward producers and Hollywood execs who kept putting him into movies because his name is big, even if he wasn’t fit for it. Hadn’t heard of a Stan Lee situation but there could be.

It’s from the NY Post. That’s how every article is.
The real lesson is that tabloids sometimes have legitimate-sounding names.
