Update: Google has not “backed down” from developer verification
Contrary to a vague mention ↗️ of a possible “advanced flow” that may eventually allow “experienced users to accept the risks of installing software that isn’t verified”, Google’s description of the program ↗️ continues to state plainly that:
Starting in September 2026, Android will require all apps to be registered by verified developers in order to be installed on certified Android devices
Until such time that they have shown evidence that it will be possible to bypass the verification process without undue friction, we must believe what is stated on their official page: that all apps from non-registered developers will be blocked once their lock-down goes into effect.

#TBOT 21: Epstein Files Update, ICE Expands Clearview AI, Ring + Flock Cancel After Backlash, Fungal Computing with Mushrooms
Here are this week’s stories:
What We Can Learn from Epstein’s Privacy:
The DOJ has released millions of pages tied to the Epstein case, with more still held back. We look at how the emails were obtained, where to find the datasets, and what the records reveal about how Epstein operated.
ICE’s Clearview AI Contract:
CBP just purchased a new contract with Clearview AI, expanding face search at the border using what you post online.
Flock + Ring Cancel Partnership After Super Bowl Backlash:
Amazon pushed a feel good surveillance ad and people hated it. Now the planned Ring and Flock integration has been cancelled.
Fungal Computing with Mushrooms:
Researchers are testing common store bought mushrooms as bioelectronics, exploring “fungal computing”. Could this be the future??

What Epstein's Emails Reveal About Privacy and Power
After missing the deadline for the Epstein Transparency Act, the DOJ released an additional 3M pages of Epstein emails and documents, many heavily redacted. Another 2.5M documents will remain unreleased, supposedly to protect victims.
The full dataset is on the Justice Department website, and researchers are already repackaging it with AI tools to make it searchable. I used some of those tools to dig into what these files reveal about how elites behave behind closed doors, and how arrogance shows up in the details.
Epstein and associates operated brazenly through Gmail and Yahoo, using attachments and file transfers while also maintaining serious infrastructure across multiple properties.
Do not let this drain your power. Expect little from the system. Focus on personal accountability and building a life that does not feed the abusive systems that make crimes like this possible.

⚡️How Is AI Deployed?
In the webinar, I get into exactly how AI is actually deployed. There’s a training phase where models learn on huge datasets, and then there’s the inference phase—that’s where you and I actually use the AI. One big misconception is that you can’t run AI without massive environmental costs. While the way big tech does it is often pretty reckless, there are ways to do it more responsibly.
If you’re interested in how we can deploy AI locally and ethically, tune into our recent webinar: Empowerment with Ethical, Local, and Private AI.

ICE’s Clearview AI Contract
CBP just awarded a fresh contract to Clearview AI, a company notorious for scraping massive amounts of images from social media and racking up privacy violations worldwide.
This new deal would let border officers identify travelers simply by taking their picture, and it is slated to go live in September 2026. It also builds on a previous $3.75M ICE contract that was marketed as a way to identify “ICE protestors.”
The message is clear. Opposing surveillance can make you a target. In practice, a single selfie can be enough to match your face to public profiles and flag you as a person of interest.
What you can do: treat photos as sacred, avoid auto cloud uploads, shrink your public footprint, and consider de googled phones like Above Phone.

Flock × Ring Pull the Plug After Super Bowl Backlash
Ring and Flock Safety just cancelled their planned integration after public backlash tied to Ring’s Super Bowl messaging and the fear of total neighborhood surveillance.
Ring’s statement is classic doublespeak. They say the integration would have taken more time and resources than expected, and they stress it never launched, so no Ring customer videos were sent to Flock. Notice the wording. They say customer videos, not footage or data.
The bigger point is this. Ring already has law enforcement request pipelines, and Ring already works with other police tech companies. The plan was to bridge massive surveillance networks together and sell it as “community safety.”
The backlash matters because it shows public pressure still works. These companies will keep testing the limits, and the only real boundary is what people refuse to accept.

Fungal Computing with Mushrooms
What if electronics did not have to be toxic and permanent. Researchers are testing common store bought mushrooms as bioelectronics, exploring fungal computing and memristor like behavior.
Why it matters: the world generates a staggering amount of e waste, and recycling is still difficult because of toxic materials like lead and cadmium. If bio based components prove viable, we could see electronics that are more biodegradable and less harmful from the start.
It is early research, but the direction is exciting. Less waste, less toxicity, and a new path for computing that does not rely on mining and endless disposability.
