Tomorrow the Competition Appeal Tribunal hears a £7bn class action suit against Google on behalf of UK consumers - CAT hearing brought by Consumer Voice.

In all, the AI-based technology was able to save about 86,000 person-hours for the county.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The racist covenants and restrictions often included racial epithets. The covenants were less often seen in the very early 20th century because it was still legal to zone by race. After the nation outlawed that practice as unconstitutional in 1917, deed restrictions became more commonplace as a way to use private transactions to maintain segregation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The language in these covenants became more targeted and explicit. Deed records reveal widespread exclusion of specific ethnic groups, including African Americans, Chinese, Japanese, and other non-Caucasian communities. Terms such as ‘Negro,’ ‘Mongolian,’ and ‘colored’ were commonly employed to delineate the racial boundaries of acceptable property owners and tenants,” the RegLab’s research paper said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12010146\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1953px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12010146\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/241018-Covenant-Example-2-KQED.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1953\" height=\"612\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/241018-Covenant-Example-2-KQED.png 1953w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/241018-Covenant-Example-2-KQED-800x251.png 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/241018-Covenant-Example-2-KQED-1020x320.png 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/241018-Covenant-Example-2-KQED-160x50.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/241018-Covenant-Example-2-KQED-1536x481.png 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/241018-Covenant-Example-2-KQED-1920x602.png 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1953px) 100vw, 1953px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">An example of racist covenant clauses found in thousands of Santa Clara County deed records that were flagged by an AI-powered tool from Stanford University’s RegLab. \u003ccite>(Courtesy Stanford RegLab)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Ho said he is optimistic the technology could be used to help governments look for other violations of California’s fair housing laws, including protections based on veteran status, family status, income and religion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Surani said that as someone who identifies as Asian American, he was struck by the bluntness and banality of how the covenants were included in contracts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There will be one provision which says, you know, you have to install a sewage tank.

The covenants were less often seen in the very early 20th century because it was still legal to zone by race. After the nation outlawed that practice as unconstitutional in 1917, deed restrictions became more commonplace as a way to use private transactions to maintain segregation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The language in these covenants became more targeted and explicit. Deed records reveal widespread exclusion of specific ethnic groups, including African Americans, Chinese, Japanese, and other non-Caucasian communities. Terms such as ‘Negro,’ ‘Mongolian,’ and ‘colored’ were commonly employed to delineate the racial boundaries of acceptable property owners and tenants,” the RegLab’s research paper said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12010146\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1953px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12010146\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/241018-Covenant-Example-2-KQED.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1953\" height=\"612\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/241018-Covenant-Example-2-KQED.png 1953w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/241018-Covenant-Example-2-KQED-800x251.png 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/241018-Covenant-Example-2-KQED-1020x320.png 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/241018-Covenant-Example-2-KQED-160x50.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/241018-Covenant-Example-2-KQED-1536x481.png 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/241018-Covenant-Example-2-KQED-1920x602.png 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1953px) 100vw, 1953px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">An example of racist covenant clauses found in thousands of Santa Clara County deed records that were flagged by an AI-powered tool from Stanford University’s RegLab. \u003ccite>(Courtesy Stanford RegLab)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Ho said he is optimistic the technology could be used to help governments look for other violations of California’s fair housing laws, including protections based on veteran status, family status, income and religion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Surani said that as someone who identifies as Asian American, he was struck by the bluntness and banality of how the covenants were included in contracts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There will be one provision which says, you know, you have to install a sewage tank.

Passkeys\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Identity Theft Resource Center recommends replacing your online passwords by setting up passkeys if they are offered, on your accounts. Passkeys are considered to be more secure than passwords because they generate a random code linked to the biometric identification method (fingerprint or face verification, for instance) you will use each time you log in to your device. The codes are invisible and inaccessible to any user, and because they are not stored by the institutions where you have accounts, they cannot be stolen in a data breach. This is not the case with passwords.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ITRC says if you use passkeys, it’s critical that you activate the locking feature on your phone so that you have to verify yourself to regain access. That’s because if the device is stolen or your Apple or Google IDs are compromised, the thief may be able to gain easier access to your online accounts than if you still used passwords. You should also use and familiarize yourself with the Find My Device feature for \u003ca href=\"https://www.icloud.com/find\">iPhones\u003c/a> or Androids, so you can shut the phone off remotely if it is compromised.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>7.

You may also need to do your banking in person for a while until you are sure all your devices are safe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Contact your financial institutions to let them know what has occurred and ask them what additional steps you should take.

Passkeys\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Identity Theft Resource Center recommends replacing your online passwords by setting up passkeys if they are offered, on your accounts. Passkeys are considered to be more secure than passwords because they generate a random code linked to the biometric identification method (fingerprint or face verification, for instance) you will use each time you log in to your device. The codes are invisible and inaccessible to any user, and because they are not stored by the institutions where you have accounts, they cannot be stolen in a data breach. This is not the case with passwords.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ITRC says if you use passkeys, it’s critical that you activate the locking feature on your phone so that you have to verify yourself to regain access. That’s because if the device is stolen or your Apple or Google IDs are compromised, the thief may be able to gain easier access to your online accounts than if you still used passwords. You should also use and familiarize yourself with the Find My Device feature for \u003ca href=\"https://www.icloud.com/find\">iPhones\u003c/a> or Androids, so you can shut the phone off remotely if it is compromised.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>7.

Meta made much less for ads mentioning Israel during the same period the year before: between $2.4 million and $4 million for ads that were seen between 373 million and 445 million times.

In 2018, the year of the shooting, Meta received “more than $2 million in advertising fees from the NRA starting in May of that year,” the report found, which also found that “NRA ad spending reached its highest levels on Google and soared on Facebook” following a week of mass shootings the following year that left dozens of people dead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.techtransparencyproject.org/articles/how-facebook-profits-insurrection\">Just days\u003c/a> before the January 6th insurrection, the Tech Transparency Project found that Meta hosted ads offering gun holsters and rifle accessories in far-right Facebook groups.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Internationally, Meta has often lapsed in its pledge to keep violent content off its platforms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meta’s ad policies forbid calling for violence. But when faced with crucial tests of its content moderation practices, the company has repeatedly failed to detect and remove inflammatory ads. \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2018/11/06/technology/myanmar-facebook.html\">A 2018 report\u003c/a>, commissioned by Facebook itself, found that its platform had been used to incite violence in Myanmar, and that the company hadn’t done enough to prevent it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alia Al Ghussain, a researcher on technology issues at Amnesty International, said that as troubling as some ads might be in English, ads in other languages may be even more likely to pass Meta’s content moderation. “In most of the non-English-speaking world, Facebook doesn’t have the resources that it needs to moderate the content on the platform effectively and safely,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite later admitting responsibility for violence in Myanmar, the company continues to be faulted for gaps in its international moderation work.

Despite calls from tech company executives for gun control, those companies profit from NRA spending that spikes after shootings, the group has pointed out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the mass school shooting in Parkland, Fla., the NRA increased its spending on Google and Facebook ads, the Tech Transparency Project noted in one report. In 2018, the year of the shooting, Meta received “more than $2 million in advertising fees from the NRA starting in May of that year,” the report found, which also found that “NRA ad spending reached its highest levels on Google and soared on Facebook” following a week of mass shootings the following year that left dozens of people dead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.techtransparencyproject.org/articles/how-facebook-profits-insurrection\">Just days\u003c/a> before the January 6th insurrection, the Tech Transparency Project found that Meta hosted ads offering gun holsters and rifle accessories in far-right Facebook groups.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Internationally, Meta has often lapsed in its pledge to keep violent content off its platforms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meta’s ad policies forbid calling for violence. But when faced with crucial tests of its content moderation practices, the company has repeatedly failed to detect and remove inflammatory ads. \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2018/11/06/technology/myanmar-facebook.html\">A 2018 report\u003c/a>, commissioned by Facebook itself, found that its platform had been used to incite violence in Myanmar, and that the company hadn’t done enough to prevent it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alia Al Ghussain, a researcher on technology issues at Amnesty International, said that as troubling as some ads might be in English, ads in other languages may be even more likely to pass Meta’s content moderation. “In most of the non-English-speaking world, Facebook doesn’t have the resources that it needs to moderate the content on the platform effectively and safely,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite later admitting responsibility for violence in Myanmar, the company continues to be faulted for gaps in its international moderation work.

More recently, a similar test by \u003ca href=\"https://theintercept.com/2023/11/21/facebook-ad-israel-palestine-violence/\">an advocacy organization found\u003c/a> that ads explicitly calling for violence against Palestinians—a flagrant violation of Meta’s rules—were still approved to run by the company.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If ads which are presenting a risk of stoking tension or spreading misinformation are being approved in the US, in English, it really makes me fearful for what is happening in other countries in non-English-speaking languages,” Al Ghussain said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/news/12008143/how-meta-brings-in-millions-off-political-violence","authors":["byline_news_12008143"],"categories":["news_8","news_13","news_248"],"tags":["news_1323","news_249","news_250","news_30214","news_29111","news_34586"],"affiliates":["news_18481"],"featImg":"news_12008144","label":"news_18481"},"news_12008127":{"type":"posts","id":"news_12008127","meta":{"index":"posts_1716263798","site":"news","id":"12008127","score":null,"sort":[1728162010000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"how-a-court-ruling-could-affect-california-stem-cell-clinics-that-use-unproven-therapies","title":"How a Court Ruling Affects California Stem Cell Clinics That Use Unproven Therapies","publishDate":1728162010,"format":"standard","headTitle":"How a Court Ruling Affects California Stem Cell Clinics That Use Unproven Therapies | KQED","labelTerm":{"term":18481,"site":"news"},"content":"\u003cp>Stem cell clinics have popped up throughout California, promising cures and relief for arthritis, Alzheimer’s and other conditions through cutting-edge technologies.

As a result, these cells cannot legally be used on patients by stem cell clinics without working with the agency first,” Paul Knoepfler, a professor of cell biology and human anatomy at the University of California, Davis, said via email. “Hundreds of clinics had been marketing them around the U.S. without FDA permission.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An FDA spokesperson declined to comment on the ruling, saying the agency does not comment on ongoing litigation. Attorneys for the clinics did not return requests for comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>The landscape of stem cell therapies\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The FDA has issued multiple public warnings about stem cell treatments because of their popularity. In its notices, the FDA writes that \u003ca href=\"https://www.fda.gov/vaccines-blood-biologics/consumers-biologics/consumer-alert-regenerative-medicine-products-including-stem-cells-and-exosomes\">the only treatments approved for consumers\u003c/a> consist of blood-forming stem cells, which are used to fight certain cancers or blood disorders. The list of therapies ready for commercial use is short, experts say.

Thomas said the public should be wary if a stem cell clinic says they are exempt from federal regulation. “Anytime you hear anything like that, I would say that’s a huge red flag,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/news/12008127/how-a-court-ruling-could-affect-california-stem-cell-clinics-that-use-unproven-therapies","authors":["byline_news_12008127"],"categories":["news_457","news_8","news_356","news_248"],"tags":["news_20402","news_20277"],"affiliates":["news_18481"],"featImg":"news_12008128","label":"news_18481"}},"programsReducer":{"possible":{"id":"possible","title":"Possible","info":"Possible is hosted by entrepreneur Reid Hoffman and writer Aria Finger.
