NBC reports that people in Mexico, Canada and
the United States will soon have their last chance to see a total solar eclipse before the next one occurs in 20 years.
On April 8, 2024,
a total solar eclipse will pass
over North America. .
According to NASA, it's the last time
the contiguous U.S. will see a total

the Moon passes between the Earth
and the Sun, which darkens the sky. .

they only occur over specific
parts of the Earth each time.
The last time the continent
experienced a total solar
eclipse was in 2017. .
At the time, the path of
the eclipse traveled from
Oregon to South Carolina.
The upcoming eclipse will
enter the U.S. in Texas before
sweeping across the nation.

Survey Exposes Alarming , Knowledge Gap Among Americans , on Online Privacy.
'The New York Times' reports that most Americans
struggled to answer a series of true-or-false questions
about how their devices and online services track them.
The survey by the Annenberg School for Communication
at the University of Pennsylvania tested people's
knowledge of how apps, websites and devices collect data.
That data includes
health information, TV-viewing
habits and doorbell camera videos. .
77% of respondents reportedly got nine
or fewer of the 17 true-or-false questions
right, receiving a failing grade. .
Just one respondent managed to answer 16
of the questions correctly, while no one was
able to answer all of the questions correctly.
'NYT' reports that the results of the survey expose a wide knowledge gap among Americans as the Federal Trade Commission prepares to curb "commercial surveillance.".
The "notice and consent" approach allows online services
to collect, use, retain, share and sell a vast amount
of consumer data, provided users consent to it. .
The recent report adds to a growing number
of studies that suggest the notice-and-consent
approach has become obsolete.
According to regulators and researchers alike, apps and
sites often use long and sometimes confusing privacy
policies to trick people into agreeing to be tracked. .
Consent requires that people have
knowledge about commercial data-
extraction practices as well as a belief
they can do something about them.
Americans have neither, The Annenberg School report, via 'The New York Times'
