    ‘I wish I could push ChatGPT off a cliff’: professors scramble to save critical thinking in an age of AI

    College professors are worried that students rely too heavily on AI tools like ChatGPT to do their thinking for them, which could weaken their ability to think critically and engage deeply with ideas. Some teachers are fighting back by having students memorize poetry, perform recitations, and experience art in person—activities that remind young people why learning with their own minds and bodies matters so much.

    The Government Uses Targeted Advertising to Track Your Location. Here's What We Need to Do.

    Government agencies like Customs and Border Protection have been buying location data from advertising companies to secretly track people's phones—the same data system that shows you targeted ads online. This matters because your movements are being monitored without a warrant or your knowledge, which raises serious privacy concerns for anyone who uses the internet or carries a phone. Worth knowing: You can limit ad tracking in your phone's settings (look for "limit ad tracking" on iPhone or "reset advertising ID" on Android), though this won't stop all government access to your location data.

    Leave big tech behind! How to replace Amazon, Google, X, Meta, Apple – and more

    If you're tired of letting big tech companies like Amazon and Google collect your personal information while you use their services, there are smaller, often European-based alternatives that respect your privacy and don't treat you as a product to be mined for data. Switching to these alternatives means you might pay a small fee instead of giving away your personal details, but you'll gain back control over your information and support companies with more ethical practices.

    ☺️ Trust Us With Your Face | EFFector 38.4

    More and more websites and apps are now asking you to upload a photo of your ID or scan your face just to prove your age before you can access content—a requirement that's becoming standard practice online. This matters because sharing your personal identification with countless companies creates privacy risks, makes it easier for your data to be hacked or misused, and can unfairly block people from accessing information they have a right to see. Worth knowing: when you're asked for age verification online, you can pause and ask yourself whether the website really needs your actual ID, or if there are safer alternatives—and consider which companies you actually trust with your biometric information.

    EFF to Wisconsin Legislature: VPN Bans Are Still a Terrible Idea

    Wisconsin lawmakers tried to pass a bill requiring websites to block anyone using a VPN (a privacy tool) and to verify users' ages before letting them see certain content, but this approach doesn't actually work—websites can't reliably tell if someone is using a VPN or where they're connecting from. People of all ages rely on VPNs for everyday privacy and security when banking online, checking email at coffee shops, or simply keeping their location private from websites, so blocking them would hurt regular folks trying to protect themselves. Worth knowing: if you use a VPN on your computer or phone, it's a legitimate security tool, not something suspicious—and if similar bills appear in your state, they're worth questioning since they tend to block access for everyone rather than solving the problem they're meant to address.
