Three cracks opened up in Apple's privacy story this week: iCloud Private Relay leaking real IP addresses through DNS prefetching, WebTransport, and passkeys; Hide My Email exposing real addresses in bounce logs; and an unprecedented wave of spyware notifications going out to targeted users. Also this week: 737 fake VPN extensions sitting in the Chrome Web Store, Edge phasing out Manifest V2, a judge giving Google one week to fix its anticompetitive Play Store flow, and France's top court blocking the under-15 social media ban on free expression grounds.

Flock Safety is one of several companies quietly building a searchable database of everyone's car — no warrant required, and no way to opt out. In this Techlore Talks interview, Bob from DeFlock breaks down how ALPR technology works, what "end-to-end encryption" really means in Flock's case, why this issue is bipartisan, and what you can do about it in your own city.
