¶ To our elected officials: COVID-19 is also a women’s issue Being a woman in America, under normal circumstances, means that we have to juggle childbearing, rearing, unequal share of household chores, and probably a job or career, with terrible maternity leave or childcare benefits. Many of us take on the role of caregivers to elderly parents as well. Being a woman in America during a pandemic means that we have to choose to give up a career (or any resemblance of a balanced life) if we want to maintain safety for our children. Or we have to make the hard decision to send our children off to school or daycare, knowing full well that they will get sick. And being a woman in Florida during a pandemic means that we cannot even look to all of our schools to implement the best safety practices possible during the worst of a pandemic. Instead, we are at the mercy of elected officials who are fighting to take decisionmaking power from school boards and businesses when it comes to implementing safety practices based on science. We are increasingly being forced to decide between safety and education for our children, or career and livelihoods for ourselves. As a wife, mom, sister, daughter and all the other roles I play as a woman in Florida, I am exhausted by the blatant disregard of safety during an unprecedented time such as this. While everyone is having hypothetical debates and riveting discussions, there are more patients in the ICU than ever before, the city of Orlando had to ask us to conserve water because they are running low on oxygen, there are more pediatric cases than ever before, and thousands of students have been sent home to quarantine because of outbreaks. And none of these reasons are good enough to encourage school districts to implement safety measures? Instead, we fine businesses for asking for vaccine information? Instead, we rally up parents so that they can fight a mask mandate? I am tired. Rather than this being a time where the community comes together to try to be the safest place for all, we

“WOMEN & CHILDREN FIRST”

have politicians who make safety measures a debate. This lack of concern for safety puts every woman with a child in a position of less choices. To every woman and girl who has a dream for their future, and the future of their children: Make your voice heard. Keep shining your light on this issue. Many women before us shined their light for the right to vote, reproductive freedom, a chance for a seat at the table, the list goes on. We still have a light worth shining to ensure our sisters, daughters, wives and friends have the same opportunities as their male counterparts. Being a woman in America should mean we have freedom to make choices. Freedom to choose is only possible when we have access to safe, affordable childcare options; when a woman’s seat at the table is just as important as a man’s; when our politicians finally figure out that it is actually worth considering how the pandemic affects women and children. Elected officials, here is what this woman is asking of you: First, advocate for the prevention of COVID-19, including mask-wearing (especially during spikes of the virus), and give institutions and businesses the authority to institute safety measures that they feel will be best for all. Second, incentivize schools who have low outbreaks, in part due to their safety measures. Let’s reward, not punish, institutions who have been able to mitigate the spread of the virus. Third, advocate for policies that help women reenter the workforce, such as paid leave policies, paid maternity leave and return-to-work incentive programs. Let’s all stand up and shine a light on how the pandemic is really affecting women and children. Help women all over the country have the choice to re-enter the workforce and send their kids to safe institutions. Krizia Capeles Evans is the founder and executive director of From Outside In, an Orlando nonprofit providing free clothing to needy children.

STUCK IN THE MIDDLE

¶ Universal Orlando cuts water usage by over a third to avoid pandemic-related water shortages

Florida parents and the DeSantis administration are playing tug of war with public school teachers’ and students’ lives BY JIM SAUNDERS, NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA

arents locked in a legal battle with Gov. Ron DeSantis about school mask requirements want to fast-track the case to the Florida Supreme Court. Attorneys for the group of parents filed a request late Friday to effectively bypass the 1st District Court of Appeal and go to the Supreme Court. The request, filed at the 1st District Court of Appeal, focuses heavily on a July 30 executive order issued by DeSantis that sought to prevent schools from requiring students to wear masks. “No child has died from the requirement to wear a mask while indoors at school; however, children have died from contracting COVID-19,” the 11-page request said. “Undoubtedly, this executive order, which directly affects the health of appellees’ [parents’] children, as well as all the children of Florida, constitutes an issue of great public importance.” Also, it contended that “immediate resolution” by the Supreme Court is needed because the school year is underway. “In the first week of school, across Florida, cases of COVID-19 occurred at a rate 10 times higher than at the same time last year (at which time students were required to wear masks),” the request said. “Both children and adults are sick and dying as a result of COVID-19. Thus, there is a palpable urgency for immediate review by the Florida Supreme Court in this matter.” The request came after a three-judge panel of the 1st District Court of Appeal on Friday placed a stay on a ruling by Leon County Circuit Judge John Cooper, who found that DeSantis overstepped his constitutional authority with the executive order. The stay cleared the way for the state to continue trying to block schools from requiring masks while the underlying appeal of Cooper’s judgment moves forward. In issuing the stay, the panel of the Tallahassee-based appeals court expressed skepticism about the parents’

lawsuit. “Upon our review of the trial court’s final judgment and the operative pleadings, we have serious doubts about standing, jurisdiction, and other threshold matters,” said Friday’s order by appellate Judges Stephanie Ray, Harvey Jay and Adam Tanenbaum. “These doubts significantly militate against the likelihood of the appellees’ ultimate success in this appeal.” The parents filed the lawsuit Aug. 6 against DeSantis, Education Commissioner Richard Corcoran, the Department of Education and the State Board of Education. Following the executive order, the Florida Department of Health issued a rule that said parents should have the right to opt out of student mask requirements. While DeSantis argues parents should be able to decide whether their children wear masks, 13 districts bucked the executive order and Department of Health rule, only allowing students to forgo masks if their parents present documented medical reasons. That has led to Corcoran pursuing financial penalties against districts that have approved such policies. In his Sept. 2 ruling siding with the parents, Cooper said DeSantis overstepped his authority, He also cited a new state law known as the “Parents’ Bill of Rights,” which deals with parents’ right to control health and educational decisions for their children. Cooper said Corcoran and the Department of Education improperly imposed financial penalties on districts that enacted mask mandates without giving the districts due process. “The law of Florida does not permit the defendants to punish school boards, its members, or officials for adopting face mask mandates with no parental opt-outs if the schools boards have been denied their due process rights under the Parents’ Bill of Rights to show that this policy is reasonable and meets the requirements of the statute,” Cooper wrote. news@orlandoweekly.com

Universal Orlando is doing their part to avoid a water shortage in Orlando. According to the Orlando Sentinel, the park has cut their water consumption by over 1 million gallons a day in the face of a potential potable water shortage in the city. The Orlando Utilities Commission asked residents to cut back on irrigation and nonessential water use last month, as the liquid oxygen they use to treat city water is in short supply. The shortage comes as hospitals throughout the region are using liquid oxygen to treat a rash of hospitalized coronavirus patients. Universal Orlando heeded a personal request to cut back, limiting their water usage by nearly 38%, according to OUC’s Tim Trudell. The park cut back on irrigation, pressure-washing and dishwasher use to save water. Many of the park’s culinary options switched to disposable plates. “We have been working directly with OUC on this issue and we are significantly expanding our efforts,” Universal spokesman Tom Schroder told the paper. “This will include significant reduction of exterior cleaning and watering schedules as well as a review of all our water use for opportunities to conserve even more.” Overall, efforts to cut back on water use in Orlando have not had their desired effect. While the weekly usage of water across the system has declined by 10 million gallons, it hasn’t reached the requested level from OUC. Should a crisis of supply continue, the city may face actual shortages of water. —Alex Galbraith

¶ Dr. Phillips Center to require negative COVID-19 test for masked, indoor shows Because we’re still in this pandemic somehow, the Dr. Phillips Center has updated its policy around indoor concerts. Starting Friday, Oct. 1, they will require all concert attendees to show a negative COVID-19 test for entry. If the attendee is fully vaccinated, they can show their proof of vaccination in lieu of the test. In addition to the new requirements, all concertgoers over the age of 2 will be required to mask up. “If an existing ticket holder is unable to comply with these updated policies, they can contact the Bill & Mary Darden Box Office at the Dr. Phillips Center for a full refund,” the venue wrote in a statement on the changes. None of the new requirements are applicable for Frontyard Festival, their outdoor series of concerts. —AG

¶ Volusia County councilman who called COVID-19 a hoax hospitalized with COVID-19 A QAnon-supporting Volusia County councilman is currently hospitalized with COVID-19, just a few short months after he called the pandemic a hoax during a sermon at his church. Fred Lowry, 66, is in the middle of his second term on the council and serves as the senior pastor of Deltona Lakes Baptist Church. His fellow councilmembers reported during a meeting that he’s been hospitalized with complications from coronavirus since Monday. “He is in the hospital wrestling with COVID-19,” said County Chair Jeff Brower, per the Daytona Beach News-Journal. In a text to that paper, councilwoman Billie Wheeler said that Lowry had been sick for several weeks. “He has been sick for around two weeks and got the antibody (treatment) last Friday and went to the emergency room late last night,” Wheeler said. During a sermon this summer, Lowry told his congregation that the pandemic was cooked up and referred to Anthony Fauci as “Dr. Falsey.” “We did not have a pandemic, folks. We were lied to,” Lowry said, before launching into conspiracy theories about satanic cabals of elites and disbelief in global warming. —AG

INSECURE

WhatsApp built its reputation as a truly private messaging service. So you might be surprised to learn that a thousand content moderators around the world are sifting through millions of supposedly encrypted messages, images and videos BY PE TER ELKIND, JAC K G I L LU M A N D C R A I G S I LV E R M A N , P R O P U B L I C A

hen Mark Zuckerberg unveiled a new “privacyfocused vision” for Facebook in March 2019, he cited the company’s global messaging service, WhatsApp, as a model. Acknowledging that “we don’t currently have a strong reputation for building privacy protective services,” the Facebook CEO wrote that “I believe the future of communication will increasingly shift to private, encrypted services where people can be confident what they say to each other stays secure and their messages and content won’t stick around forever. This is the future I hope we will help bring about. We plan to build this the way we’ve developed WhatsApp.” Zuckerberg’s vision centered on WhatsApp’s signature feature, which he said the company was planning to apply to Instagram and Facebook Messenger: end-to-end encryption, which converts all messages into an unreadable format that is only unlocked when they reach their intended destinations. WhatsApp messages are so secure, he said, that nobody else — not even the company — can read a word. As Zuckerberg had put it earlier, in testimony to the U.S. Senate in 2018, “We don’t see any of the content in WhatsApp.” WhatsApp emphasizes this point so consistently that a flag with a similar assurance automatically appears onscreen before users send messages: “No one outside of this chat, not even WhatsApp, can read or listen to them.” Given those sweeping assurances, you might be surprised to learn that WhatsApp has more than 1,000 contract workers filling floors of office buildings in Austin, Dublin and Singapore. Seated at computers in pods organized by work assignments, these hourly workers use special Facebook software to sift through millions of private messages, images and videos. They pass judgment on whatever flashes on their screen — claims of everything from fraud or spam to child porn and potential terrorist plotting — typically in less than a minute. The workers have access to only a subset of WhatsApp messages — those flagged by users and automatically forwarded to the company as possibly abusive. The review is one element in a broader monitoring operation in which the company also reviews material that is not encrypted,

including data about the sender and their account. Policing users while assuring them that their privacy is sacrosanct makes for an awkward mission at WhatsApp. A 49-slide internal company marketing presentation from December, obtained by ProPublica, emphasizes the “fierce” promotion of WhatsApp’s “privacy narrative.” It compares its “brand character” to “the Immigrant Mother” and displays a photo of Malala Yousafzai, who survived a shooting by the Taliban and became a Nobel Peace Prize winner, in a slide titled “Brand tone parameters.” The presentation does not mention the company’s content moderation efforts. WhatsApp’s director of communications, Carl Woog, acknowledged that teams of contractors in Austin and elsewhere review WhatsApp messages to identify and remove “the worst” abusers. But Woog told ProPublica that the company does not consider this work to be content moderation, saying: “We actually don’t typically use the term for WhatsApp.” The company declined to make executives available for interviews for this article, but responded to questions with written comments. “WhatsApp is a lifeline for millions of people around the world,” the company said. “The decisions we make around how we build our app are focused around the privacy of our users, maintaining a high degree of reliability and preventing abuse.” WhatsApp’s denial that it moderates content is noticeably different from what Facebook Inc. says about WhatsApp’s corporate siblings, Instagram and Facebook. The company has said that some 15,000 moderators examine content on Facebook and Instagram, neither of which is encrypted. It releases quarterly transparency reports that detail how many accounts Facebook and Instagram have “actioned” for various categories of abusive content. There is no such report for WhatsApp. Deploying an army of content reviewers is just one of the ways that Facebook Inc. has compromised the privacy of WhatsApp users. Together, the company’s actions have left WhatsApp — the largest messaging app in the world, with two billion users — far less private than its users likely understand or expect. A ProPublica

ORLANDO WEEKLY ● SEPT. 15-21, 2021 ● orlandoweekly.com

investigation, drawing on data, documents and dozens of interviews with current and former employees and contractors, reveals how, since purchasing WhatsApp in 2014, Facebook has quietly undermined its sweeping security assurances in multiple ways. (Two articles this summer noted the existence of WhatsApp’s moderators but focused on their working conditions and pay rather than their effect on users’ privacy. This article is the first to reveal the details and extent of the company’s ability to scrutinize messages and user data — and to examine what the company does with that information.) Many of the assertions by content moderators working for WhatsApp are echoed by a confidential whistleblower complaint filed last year with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The complaint, which ProPublica obtained, details WhatsApp’s extensive use of outside contractors, artificial intelligence systems and account information to examine user messages, images and videos. It alleges that the company’s claims of protecting users’ privacy are false. “We haven’t seen this complaint,” the company spokesperson said. The SEC has taken no public action on it; an agency spokesperson declined to comment. Facebook Inc. has also downplayed how much data it collects from WhatsApp users, what it does with it and how much it shares with law enforcement authorities. For example, WhatsApp shares metadata, unencrypted records that can reveal a lot about a user’s activity, with law enforcement agencies such as the Department of Justice. Some rivals, such as Signal, intentionally gather much less metadata to avoid incursions on its users’ privacy, and thus share far less with law enforcement. (“WhatsApp responds to valid legal requests,” the company spokesperson said, “including orders that require us to provide on a real-time going forward basis who a specific person is messaging.”) WhatsApp user data, ProPublica has learned, helped prosecutors build a high-profile case against a Treasury Department employee who leaked confidential documents to BuzzFeed News that exposed how dirty money flows through U.S. banks.

Like other social media and communications platforms, WhatsApp is caught between users who expect privacy and law enforcement entities that effectively demand the opposite: that WhatsApp turn over information that will help combat crime and online abuse. WhatsApp has responded to this dilemma by asserting that it’s no dilemma at all. “I think we absolutely can have security and safety for people through end-to-end encryption and work with law enforcement to solve crimes,” said Will Cathcart, whose title is Head of WhatsApp, in a YouTube interview with an Australian think tank in July. The tension between privacy and disseminating information to law enforcement is exacerbated by a second pressure: Facebook’s need to make money from WhatsApp. Since paying $22 billion to buy WhatsApp in 2014, Facebook has been trying to figure out how to generate profits from a service that doesn’t charge its users a penny. That conundrum has periodically led to moves that anger users, regulators or both. The goal of monetizing the app was part of the company’s 2016 decision to start sharing WhatsApp user data with Facebook, something the company had told European Union regulators was technologically impossible. The same impulse spurred a controversial plan, abandoned in late 2019, to sell advertising on WhatsApp. And the profit-seeking mandate was behind another botched initiative in January: the introduction of a new privacy policy for user interactions with businesses on WhatsApp, allowing businesses to use customer data in new ways. That announcement triggered a user exodus to competing apps. WhatsApp’s increasingly aggressive business plan is focused on charging companies for an array of services — letting users make payments via WhatsApp and managing customer service chats — that offer convenience but fewer privacy protections. The result is a confusing two-tiered privacy system within the same app where the protections of end-to-end encryption are further eroded when WhatsApp users employ the service to communicate with businesses. The company’s December marketing presentation captures WhatsApp’s diverging imperatives. It states that “privacy will remain important.” But it also conveys what seems to be a more urgent mission: the need to “open the aperture of the brand to encompass our future business objectives.” I. “Content Moderation Associates” In many ways, the experience of being a content moderator for WhatsApp in Austin is identical to being a moderator for Facebook or Instagram, according to interviews with 29 current and former moderators. Mostly in their 20s and 30s, many with past experience as store clerks, grocery checkers and baristas, the moderators are hired and employed by Accenture, a huge corporate contractor that works for Facebook and other Fortune 500 behemoths. The job listings advertise “Content Review” positions and make no mention of Facebook or WhatsApp. Employment documents list the workers’ initial title as “content moderation associate.” Pay starts around $16.50 an hour. Moderators are instructed to tell anyone who asks that they work for Accenture, and are required to sign sweeping non-disclosure agreements. Citing the NDAs, almost all the current and former moderators interviewed by ProPublica insisted on anonymity. (An Accenture spokesperson declined comment, referring all questions about content moderation to WhatsApp.) When the WhatsApp team was assembled in Austin in

2019, Facebook moderators already occupied the fourth floor of an office tower on Sixth Street, adjacent to the city’s famous bar-and-music scene. The WhatsApp team was installed on the floor above, with new glass-enclosed work pods and nicer bathrooms that sparked a tinge of envy in a few members of the Facebook team. Most of the WhatsApp team scattered to work from home during the pandemic. Whether in the office or at home, they spend their days in front of screens, using a Facebook software tool to examine a stream of “tickets,” organized by subject into “reactive” and “proactive” queues. Collectively, the workers scrutinize millions of pieces of WhatsApp content each week. Each reviewer handles upwards of 600 tickets a day, which gives them less than a minute per ticket. WhatsApp declined to reveal how many contract workers are employed for content review, but a partial staffing list reviewed by ProPublica suggests that, at Accenture alone, it’s more than 1,000. WhatsApp moderators, like their Facebook and Instagram counterparts, are expected to meet performance metrics for speed and accuracy, which are audited by Accenture. Their jobs differ in other ways. Because WhatsApp’s content is encrypted, artificial intelligence systems can’t automatically scan all chats, images and videos, as they do on Facebook and Instagram. Instead, WhatsApp reviewers gain access to private content when users hit the “report” button on the app, identifying a message as allegedly violating the platform’s terms of service. This forwards five messages — the allegedly offending one along with the four previous ones in the exchange, including any images or videos — to WhatsApp in unscrambled form, according to former WhatsApp engineers and moderators. Automated systems then feed these tickets into “reactive” queues for contract workers to assess. Artificial intelligence initiates a second set of queues — so-called proactive ones — by scanning unencrypted data that WhatsApp collects about its users and comparing it against suspicious account information and messaging patterns (a new account rapidly sending out a high volume of chats is evidence of spam), as well as terms and images that have previously been deemed abusive. The unencrypted data available for scrutiny is extensive. It includes the names and profile images of a user’s WhatsApp groups as well as their phone number, profile photo, status message, phone battery level, language and time zone, unique mobile phone ID and IP address, wireless signal strength and phone operating system, as a list of their electronic devices, any related Facebook and Instagram accounts, the last time they used the app and any previous history of violations. The WhatsApp reviewers have three choices when presented with a ticket for either type of queue: Do nothing, place the user on “watch” for further scrutiny, or ban the account. (Facebook and Instagram content moderators have more options, including removing individual postings. It’s that distinction — the fact that WhatsApp reviewers can’t delete individual items — that the company cites as its basis for asserting that WhatsApp reviewers are not “content moderators.”) WhatsApp moderators must make subjective, sensitive and subtle judgments, interviews and documents examined by ProPublica show. They examine a wide range of categories, including “Spam Report,” “Civic Bad Actor” (political hate speech and disinformation), “Terrorism Global Credible Threat,” “CEI” (child exploitative imagery) and “CP” (child pornography). Another set of categories addresses the messaging and con-

duct of millions of small and large businesses that use WhatsApp to chat with customers and sell their wares. These queues have such titles as “business impersonation prevalence,” “commerce policy probable violators” and “business verification.” Moderators say the guidance they get from WhatsApp and Accenture relies on standards that can be simultaneously arcane and disturbingly graphic. Decisions about abusive sexual imagery, for example, can rest on an assessment of whether a naked child in an image appears adolescent or prepubescent, based on comparison of hip bones and pubic hair to a medical index chart. One reviewer recalled a grainy video in a political-speech queue that depicted a machete-wielding man holding up what appeared to be a severed head: “We had to watch and say, ‘Is this a real dead body or a fake dead body?’” In late 2020, moderators were informed of a new queue for alleged “sextortion.” It was defined in an explanatory memo as “a form of sexual exploitation where people are blackmailed with a nude image of themselves which have been shared by them or someone else on the Internet.” The memo said workers would review messages reported by users that “include predefined keywords typically used in sextortion/blackmail messages.” WhatsApp’s review system is hampered by impediments, including buggy language translation. The service has users in 180 countries, with the vast majority located outside the U.S. Even though Accenture hires workers who speak a variety of languages, for messages in some languages there’s often no native speaker on site to assess abuse complaints. That means using Facebook’s language-translation tool, which reviewers said could be so inaccurate that it sometimes labeled messages in Arabic as being in Spanish. The tool also offered little guidance on local slang, political context or sexual innuendo. “In the three years I’ve been there,” one moderator said, “it’s always been horrible.” The process can be rife with errors and misunderstandings. Companies have been flagged for offering weapons for sale when they’re selling straight shaving razors. Bras can be sold, but if the marketing language registers as “adult,” the seller can be labeled a forbidden “sexually oriented business.” And a flawed translation tool set off an alarm when it detected kids for sale and slaughter, which, upon closer scrutiny, turned out to involve young goats intended to be cooked and eaten in halal meals. The system is also undercut by the human failings of the people who instigate reports. Complaints are frequently filed to punish, harass or prank someone, according to moderators. In messages from Brazil and Mexico, one moderator explained, “we had a couple of months where AI was banning groups left and right because people were messing with their friends by changing their group names” and then reporting them. “At the worst of it, we were probably getting tens of thousands of those. They figured out some words the algorithm did not like.” Other reports fail to meet WhatsApp standards for an account ban. “Most of it is not violating,” one of the moderators said. “It’s content that is already on the internet, and it’s just people trying to mess with users.” Still, each case can reveal

up to five unencrypted messages, which are then examined by moderators. The judgment of WhatsApp’s AI is less than perfect, moderators say. “There were a lot of innocent photos on there that were not allowed to be on there,” said Carlos Sauceda, who left Accenture last year after nine months. “It might have been a photo of a child taking a bath, and there was nothing wrong with it.” As another WhatsApp moderator put it, “A lot of the time, the artificial intelligence is not that intelligent.” Facebook’s written guidance to WhatsApp moderators acknowledges many problems, noting “we have made mistakes and our policies have been weaponized by bad actors to get good actors banned. When users write inquiries pertaining to abusive matters like these, it is up to WhatsApp to respond and act (if necessary) accordingly in a timely and pleasant manner.” Of course, if a user appeals a ban that was prompted by a user report, according to one moderator, it entails having a second moderator examine the user’s content. II. “Industry leaders” in detecting bad behavior In public statements and on the company’s websites, Facebook Inc. is noticeably vague about WhatsApp’s monitoring process. The company does not provide a regular accounting of how WhatsApp polices the platform. WhatsApp’s FAQ page and online complaint form note that it will receive “the most recent messages” from a user who has been flagged. They do not, however, disclose how many unencrypted messages are revealed when a report is filed, or that those messages are examined by outside contractors. (WhatsApp told ProPublica it limits that disclosure to keep violators from “gaming” the system.) By contrast, both Facebook and Instagram post lengthy “Community Standards” documents detailing the criteria its moderators use to police content, along with articles and videos about “the unrecognized heroes who keep Facebook safe” and announcements on new contentreview sites. Facebook’s transparency reports detail how many pieces of content are “actioned” for each type of violation. WhatsApp is not included in this report. When dealing with legislators, Facebook Inc. officials also offer few details — but are eager to assure them that they don’t let encryption stand in the way of protecting users from images of child sexual abuse and exploitation. For example, when members of the Senate Judiciary Committee grilled Facebook about the impact of encrypting its platforms, the company, in written follow-up questions in Jan. 2020, cited WhatsApp in boasting that it would remain responsive to law enforcement. “Even within an encrypted system,” one response noted, “we will still be able to respond to lawful requests for metadata, including potentially critical location or account information… We already have an encrypted messaging service, WhatsApp, that — in contrast to some other encrypted services — provides a simple way for people to report abuse or safety concerns.” Sure enough, WhatsApp reported 400,000 instances of possible child-exploitation imagery to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children in 2020, according to its head, Cathcart. That was ten times as many as in 2019. “We are by far the industry leaders in finding and detecting that behavior in an end-to-end encrypted service,” he said. During his YouTube interview with the Australian think tank, Cathcart also described WhatsApp’s reliance on user reporting and its AI systems’ ability to examine

account information that isn’t subject to encryption. Asked how many staffers WhatsApp employed to investigate abuse complaints from an app with more than two billion users, Cathcart didn’t mention content moderators or their access to encrypted content. “There’s a lot of people across Facebook who help with WhatsApp,” he explained. “If you look at people who work full time on WhatsApp, it’s above a thousand. I won’t get into the full breakdown of customer service, user reports, engineering, etc. But it’s a lot of that.” In written responses for this article, the company spokesperson said: “We build WhatsApp in a manner that limits the data we collect while providing us tools to prevent spam, investigate threats, and ban those engaged in abuse, including based on user reports we receive. This work takes extraordinary effort from security experts and a valued trust and safety team that works tirelessly to help provide the world with private communication.” The spokesperson noted that WhatsApp has released new privacy features, including “more controls about how people’s messages can disappear” or be viewed only once. He added, “Based on the feedback we’ve received from users, we’re confident people understand when they make reports to WhatsApp we receive the content they send us.” III. “Deceiving users” about personal privacy Since the moment Facebook announced plans to buy WhatsApp in 2014, observers wondered how the service, known for its fervent commitment to privacy, would fare inside a corporation known for the opposite. Zuckerberg had become one of the wealthiest people on the planet by using a “surveillance capitalism” approach: collecting and exploiting reams of user data to sell targeted digital ads. Facebook’s relentless pursuit of growth and profits has generated a series of privacy scandals in which it was accused of deceiving customers and regulators. By contrast, WhatsApp knew little about its users apart from their phone numbers and shared none of that information with third parties. WhatsApp ran no ads, and its co-founders, Jan Koum and Brian Acton, both former Yahoo engineers, were hostile to them. “At every company that sells ads,” they wrote in 2012, “a significant portion of their engineering team spends their day tuning data mining, writing better code to collect all your personal data, upgrading the servers that hold all the data and making sure it’s all being logged and collated and sliced and packed and shipped out,” adding: “Remember, when advertising is involved you the user are the product.” At WhatsApp, they noted, “your data isn’t even in the picture. We are simply not interested in any of it.” Zuckerberg publicly vowed in a 2014 keynote speech that he would keep WhatsApp “exactly the same.” He declared, “We are absolutely not going to change plans around WhatsApp and the way it uses user data. WhatsApp is going to operate completely autonomously.” In April 2016, WhatsApp completed its long-planned adoption of end-to-end encryption, which helped establish the app as a prized communications platform in 180 countries, including many where text messages and phone calls are cost-prohibitive. International dissidents, whistleblowers and journalists also turned to WhatsApp to escape government eavesdropping. Four months later, however, WhatsApp disclosed it would begin sharing user data with Facebook — precisely what Zuckerberg had said would not happen — a move that cleared the way for an array of future revenue-generating plans. The new WhatsApp terms of service said the app would share information such as users’ phone

numbers, profile photos, status messages and IP addresses for the purposes of ad targeting, fighting spam and abuse and gathering metrics. “By connecting your phone number with Facebook’s systems,” WhatsApp explained, “Facebook can offer better friend suggestions and show you more relevant ads if you have an account with them.” Such actions were increasingly bringing Facebook into the crosshairs of regulators. In May 2017, European Union antitrust regulators fined the company 110 million euros (about $122 million) for falsely claiming three years earlier that it would be impossible to link the user information between WhatsApp and the Facebook family of apps. The EU concluded that Facebook had “intentionally or negligently” deceived regulators. Facebook insisted its false statements in 2014 were not intentional, but didn’t contest the fine. By the spring of 2018, the WhatsApp co-founders, now both billionaires, were gone. Acton, in what he later described as an act of “penance” for the “crime” of selling WhatsApp to Facebook, gave $50 million to a foundation backing Signal, a free encrypted messaging app that would emerge as a WhatsApp rival. (Acton’s donor-advised fund has also given money to ProPublica.) Meanwhile, Facebook was under fire for its security and privacy failures as never before. The pressure culminated in a landmark $5 billion fine by the Federal Trade Commission in July 2019 for violating a previous agreement to protect user privacy. The fine was almost 20 times greater than any previous privacy-related penalty, according to the FTC, and Facebook’s transgressions included “deceiving users about their ability to control the privacy of their personal information.” The FTC announced that it was ordering Facebook to take steps to protect privacy going forward, including for WhatsApp users: “As part of Facebook’s order-mandated privacy program, which covers WhatsApp and Instagram, Facebook must conduct a privacy review of every new or modified product, service, or practice before it is implemented, and document its decisions about user privacy.” Compliance officers would be required to generate a “quarterly privacy review report” and share it with the company and, upon request, the FTC. Facebook agreed to the FTC’s fine and order. Indeed, the negotiations for that agreement were the backdrop, just four months before that, for Zuckerberg’s announcement of his new commitment to privacy. By that point, WhatsApp had begun using Accenture and other outside contractors to hire hundreds of content reviewers. But the company was eager not to step on its larger privacy message — or spook its global user base. It said nothing publicly about its hiring of contractors to review content. IV. “We kill people based on metadata” Even as Zuckerberg was touting Facebook Inc.’s new commitment to privacy in 2019, he didn’t mention that his company was apparently sharing more of its WhatsApp users’ metadata than ever with the parent company — and with law enforcement. To the lay ear, the term “metadata” can sound abstract, a word that evokes the intersection of literary criticism and statistics. To use an old, pre-digital analogy, metadata is the equivalent of what’s written on the outside of an envelope — the names and addresses of the sender and recipient and the postmark reflecting where and when it was mailed — while the “content” is what’s written on the letter sealed inside the envelope. So it is with WhatsApp messages: The content is protected, but the envelope

reveals a multitude of telling details (as noted: time stamps, phone numbers and much more). Those in the information and intelligence fields understand how crucial this information can be. It was metadata, after all, that the National Security Agency was gathering about millions of Americans not suspected of a crime, prompting a global outcry when it was exposed in 2013 by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden. “Metadata absolutely tells you everything about somebody’s life,” former NSA general counsel Stewart Baker once said. “If you have enough metadata, you don’t really need content.” In a symposium at Johns Hopkins University in 2014, Gen. Michael Hayden, former director of both the CIA and NSA, went even further: “We kill people based on metadata.” U.S. law enforcement has used WhatsApp metadata to help put people in jail. ProPublica found more than a dozen instances in which the Justice Department sought court orders for the platform’s metadata since 2017. These represent a fraction of overall requests, known as pen register orders (a phrase borrowed from the technology used to track numbers dialed by landline telephones), as many more are kept from public view by court order. U.S. government requests for data on outgoing and incoming messages from all Facebook platforms increased by 276% from the first half of 2017 to the second half of 2020, according to Facebook Inc. statistics (which don’t break out the numbers by platform). The company’s rate of handing over at least some data in response to such requests has risen from 84% to 95% during that period. It’s not clear exactly what government investigators have been able to gather from WhatsApp, as the results of those orders, too, are often kept from public view. Internally, WhatsApp calls such requests for information about users “prospective message pairs,” or PMPs. These provide data on a user’s messaging patterns in response to requests from U.S. law enforcement agencies, as well as those in at least three other countries — the United Kingdom, Brazil and India — according to a person familiar with the matter who shared this information on condition of anonymity. Law enforcement requests from other countries might only receive basic subscriber profile information. WhatsApp metadata was pivotal in the arrest and conviction of Natalie “May” Edwards, a former Treasury Department official with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, for leaking confidential banking reports about suspicious transactions to BuzzFeed News. The FBI’s criminal complaint detailed hundreds of messages between Edwards and a BuzzFeed reporter using an “encrypted application,” which interviews and court records confirmed was WhatsApp. “On or about August 1, 2018, within approximately six hours of the Edwards pen becoming operative — and the day after the July 2018 Buzzfeed article was published — the Edwards cellphone exchanged approximately 70 messages via the encrypted application with the Reporter-1 cellphone during an approximately 20-minute time span between 12:33 a.m. and 12:54 a.m.,” FBI Special Agent Emily Eckstut wrote in her October 2018 complaint. Edwards and the reporter used WhatsApp because Edwards believed the platform to be secure, according to a person familiar with the matter.

Edwards was sentenced on June 3 to six months in prison after pleading guilty to a conspiracy charge and reported to prison last week. Edwards’ attorney declined to comment, as did representatives from the FBI and the Justice Department. WhatsApp has for years downplayed how much unencrypted information it shares with law enforcement, largely limiting mentions of the practice to boilerplate language buried deep in its terms of service. It does not routinely keep permanent logs of who users are communicating with and how often, but company officials confirmed they do turn on such tracking at their own discretion — even for internal Facebook leak investigations — or in response to law enforcement requests. The company declined to tell ProPublica how frequently it does so. The privacy page for WhatsApp assures users that they have total control over their own metadata. It says users can “decide if only contacts, everyone, or nobody can see your profile photo” or when they last opened their status updates or when they last opened the app. Regardless of the settings a user chooses, WhatsApp collects and analyzes all of that data — a fact not mentioned anywhere on the page. V. “Opening the aperture to encompass business objectives” The conflict between privacy and security on encrypted platforms seems to be only intensifying. Law enforcement and child safety advocates have urged Zuckerberg to abandon his plan to encrypt all of Facebook’s messaging platforms. In June 2020, three Republican senators introduced the “Lawful Access to Encrypted Data Act,” which would require tech companies to assist in providing access to even encrypted content in response to law enforcement warrants. For its part, WhatsApp recently sued the Indian government to block its requirement that encrypted apps provide “traceability” — a method to identify the sender of any message deemed relevant to law enforcement. WhatsApp has fought similar demands in other countries. Other encrypted platforms take a vastly different approach to monitoring their users than WhatsApp. Signal employs no content moderators, collects far less user and group data, allows no cloud backups and generally rejects the notion that it should be policing user activities. It submits no child exploitation reports to NCMEC. Apple has touted its commitment to privacy as a selling point. Its iMessage system displays a “report” button only to alert the company to suspected spam, and the company has made just a few hundred annual reports to NCMEC, all of them originating from scanning outgoing email, which is unencrypted. But Apple recently took a new tack, and appeared to stumble along the way. Amid intensifying pressure from Congress, in August the company announced a complex new system for identifying child-exploitative imagery on users’ iCloud backups. Apple insisted the new system poses no threat to private content, but privacy advocates accused the company of creating a backdoor that potentially allows authoritarian governments to demand broader content searches, which could result in the targeting of dissidents, journalists or other critics of the state. On Sept. 3, Apple announced it would

delay implementation of the new system. Still, it’s Facebook that seems to face the most constant skepticism among major tech platforms. It is using encryption to market itself as privacy-friendly, while saying little about the other ways it collects data, according to Lloyd Richardson, the director of IT at the Canadian Centre for Child Protection. “This whole idea that they’re doing it for personal protection of people is completely ludicrous,” Richardson said. “You’re trusting an app owned and written by Facebook to do exactly what they’re saying. Do you trust that entity to do that?” (On Sept. 2, Irish authorities announced that they are fining WhatsApp 225 million euros, about $267 million, for failing to properly disclose how the company shares user information with other Facebook platforms. WhatsApp is contesting the finding.) Facebook’s emphasis on promoting WhatsApp as a paragon of privacy is evident in the December marketing document obtained by ProPublica. The “Brand Foundations” presentation says it was the product of a 21-member global team across all of Facebook, involving a half-dozen workshops, quantitative research, “stakeholder interviews” and “endless brainstorms.” Its aim: to offer “an emotional articulation” of WhatsApp’s benefits, “an inspirational toolkit that helps us tell our story,” and a “brand purpose to champion the deep human connection that leads to progress.” The marketing deck identifies a feeling of “closeness” as WhatsApp’s “ownable emotional territory,” saying the app delivers “the closest thing to an in-person conversation.” WhatsApp should portray itself as “courageous,” according to another slide, because it’s “taking a strong, public stance that is not financially motivated on things we care about,” such as defending encryption and fighting misinformation. But the presentation also speaks of the need to “open the aperture of the brand to encompass our future business objectives. While privacy will remain important, we must accommodate for future innovations.” WhatsApp is now in the midst of a major drive to make money. It has experienced a rocky start, in part because of broad suspicions of how WhatsApp will balance privacy and profits. An announced plan to begin running ads inside the app didn’t help; it was abandoned in late 2019, just days before it was set to launch. Early this January, WhatsApp unveiled a change in its privacy policy — accompanied by a one-month deadline to accept the policy or get cut off from the app. The move sparked a revolt, impelling tens of millions of users to flee to rivals such as Signal and Telegram. The policy change focused on how messages and data would be handled when users communicate with a business in the ever-expanding array of WhatsApp Business offerings. Companies now could store their chats with users and use information about users for marketing purposes, including targeting them with ads on Facebook or Instagram. Elon Musk tweeted “Use Signal,” and WhatsApp users rebelled. Facebook delayed for three months the requirement for users to approve the policy update. In the meantime, it struggled to convince users that the change would have no effect on the privacy protections for their personal communications, with a slightly modified version of its usual assurance: “WhatsApp cannot see your personal messages or hear your calls and neither can Facebook.” Just as when the company first bought WhatsApp years before, the message was the same: Trust us. This story was originally published by ProPublica.

he Struts are a walking anachronism, cranking out old-school American classic rock in the way that only Brits can. We figure we could use a few more bands that remind us of a time that wasn’t universally awful, a time when we weren’t constantly dodging a deadly virus or an angry Earth. Plenty of folks agreed and came out to see the band when they played the Beacham. See the full set of Jim Leatherman’s photos at orlandoweekly.com.

Local haunt events scramble to handle a second year of pandemic-inflected Halloween HOWL-O-SCREAM SCARE ACTORS WEAR FACE-PRINTED MASKS | PHOTO BY JAYCOB PORTER

[Editor’s note: Seth Kubersky is

taking some time off; he has handed over the reins of his column to Ken Storey this week.] After two decades at Busch Gardens Tampa, Howl-O-Scream made its Orlando debut last Friday at SeaWorld. The raindampened debut featured goblins, pirates and Jack the Ripper, but the scariest character of the evening may have been the guest wearing a shirt proclaiming their refusal to receive the vaccine or wear a mask. When Halloween rolled around last year, with the promise of vaccines just weeks away, many of us, myself included, naively thought 2021 would be a return to normal. Now, as we grapple with the fact that some people would rather ingest horse medication than take the FDA-approved vaccine readily available to adults, we’re staring down yet another altered Halloween season. Like Halloween Horror Nights, the two Florida-based Howl-O-Scream events don’t require guests to wear masks, though they are highly encouraged. Most of the scare actors at Howl-O-Scream had facial coverings. Unlike those at Halloween Horror Nights, the ones at Howl-O-Scream featured prints with mouths on them, allowing the masks to blend in better. At A Petrified Forest in Altamonte Springs, the crew is readying to open on Oct. 1 with three new scare trails. The independent local haunt, now in its 14th year, quickly adapted to the challenges of the pandemic last year. Guests were assigned time slots for entry and the haunt ensured their actors had thematically appropriate facial coverings. Wardrobe manager Danielle Christopher says the addition of face coverings was a challenge last year, one that she had hoped wouldn’t be required again. But this year, just like last, A Petrified Forest will be using the masks.

“This year, even with vaccinations, we’re still going to go with the face coverings because it’s not gone; we’re still in the height of things,” Christopher says. Stephanie West, special event coordinator at A Petrified Forest, chimes in, “We also have the benefit of being an outdoor haunt. We’re practicing the six-foot rule for most of our actors, or they’re in a very wellventilated area.” Christopher notes that the haunt is using fewer masks that fully cover the face this year due to vaccinations and the ability to design this year’s event with the pandemic in mind. For HHN, this is the first official event since the pandemic began. Haunt events have been struggling to keep up with the onslaught of anti-safety measures instated by the Florida Legislature while also trying to ensure the safety of employees and guests. In the constantly changing realities of hosting an event in a global pandemic hotspot, Universal has tried to stay ahead of the curve by placing many of its actors behind plastic dividers, even though several studies question their effectiveness. After lifting their indoors mask requirement earlier this summer, Disney reinstated it when it became clear Florida was becoming a COVID hotspot. Those same requirements weren’t reinstated at Universal or SeaWorld, including at their haunt events. Also long gone at both resorts are the social distancing markers and any attempt at spreading out the crowds. But other safety measures remain in place, including signage encouraging facial coverings and ample access to hand sanitizer. A Petrified Forest is also evolving its pandemic protocols; unlike last year, guests aren’t required to adhere to a timed entry reservation, but West recommends guests not wanting to mingle with large crowds visit on Thursdays or in the first few hours of operation on Friday nights. The pandemic-induced labor shortage

has also affected local scares. Both HHN and Howl-O-Scream continue to seek workers, even as the events have begun. At tryouts a few weeks ago, A Petrified Forest saw just a fraction of the number of actors that typically show up. With social distancing in mind, the event was already looking to bring on fewer actors than normal, but the low turnout was yet another hurdle in a year and a half filled with them. With fewer actors and with social distancing in mind, the experience has moved beyond simple jump scares. “We’re able to get the scare from a distance [by] incorporating other technical features, such as lights going out or audio cues, that the actors can trigger as people come into a room,” West explains. “That way, it’s not necessarily the actor creating the scare; they’re just triggering it and being there to facilitate the story.” But West acknowledges the guests themselves must also work to ensure haunt events are safe. With a tone of frustration in her voice, she notes, “It’s our responsibility to protect our actors. When it comes to the general public, there’s only so much we can do. There’s also personal responsibility.” West is completely correct in this assertion. While Florida comes off its highest COVID-19 hospitalization rates, more than 45 percent of residents remain unvaccinated, prolonging a pandemic that could’ve been behind us by now and sowing doubt that we’ll ever truly escape its grip. As hospitals fill up with children (and adults unwilling or unable to get vaccinated), the fact that our neighbors, elected representatives and, in some cases, our own families can be so callous as to wear shirts declaring their unwillingness to do the bare minimum to help others is far scarier than anything a haunt event can offer. Unfortunately for us, for the moment, this is one scare zone we can’t escape. arts@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

THE PINERY 295 NE Ivanhoe Blvd. 407-377-7576 thepineryorlando.com $$$

FRUIT OF LABOR

PHOTOS BY ROB BARTLETT

The Pinery pays homage to Ivanhoe Village’s pineapple farms with a menu of classed-up comfort BY FAIYAZ KARA

he restaurant melodrama that’s taken place in Ivanhoe Village over the past few years has been thoroughly soap opera–worthy, what with the nefarious characters, cursed locales, alleged criminality and just good ol’-fashioned backstabbing. It’s like the Ivanhood is our very own Port Charles (general hospital and all). To twist plotlines even further, a couple of flashy newcomers — Russell’s and the Pinery — have set sights on the leading role. They stare each other down across the Ivanhoe Boulevard divide, both vying for the attention of the pretty people. Russell’s has to feel a tinge of jealousy, or perhaps regret, at seeing the Pinery’s patio bustle with the very clientele they’re trying to attract. Why did we enclose our outdoor deck? Why?! Either way, I’d expect things to get a bit prickly between Russell’s and the Pinery, two restaurants celebrating the neighborhood’s roots as a once-thriving pineapple farm, the latter going so far as to incorporating it into its name. But after a couple of visits to the Pinery, my thinking was: Why not incorporate the pineapple into the menu as well? Perhaps into a vinaigrette for a salad; or in a salsa for the fish tacos ($16); or in a sauce for the pork chop ($30)? Granted, the tropical fruit is blended into

a bacon jam used on the double-pattied smash burger ($16), as well as the lovely hummingbird cake ($9), but not much else. That’s not to say chef Naomi Freeman’s menu of dressed-up Southern comfort is in any way undeserving. We gobbled down fire-roasted corn fritters ($10) topped with a roasted poblano aioli and cotija cheese, as well as a smoked fish dip served with pickled onions, pickled jalapeños, smoked lemon and club crackers. Yes, even those grouper tacos stuffed with a citrusy slaw and a smoked lemon herb aioli drew praise. In true Southern fashion, the grouper is also offered as a pecan-crusted entrée ($32) with honey-roasted sweet potatoes and charred Brussels sprouts. The fish was given a gimmicky tableside pour of beurre blanc, but pour control has since been handed back to patrons. Those who don’t like their fish overly adulterated, particularly a fish as delicately flavored as grouper, will certainly appreciate the gesture. There’s nothing delicate about those sides, however — this is a filling dish. So is the hefty Frenched pork chop, which, on our first visit, was topped with a thick bourbon-apple puree. The sauce

BY FAIYAZ KARA OPENINGS + CLOSINGS

is now properly served beneath the chop and sided with the same sweet potatoes and green beans — a small improvement that shows how serious the Pinery is about becoming the neighborhood’s go-to destination. The yard bird ($27), a spatchcocked beauty, comes with broccolini and, yep, honey-roasted sweet potatoes. For being a higher-end restaurant, I would’ve liked Freeman’s dishes to encompass seasonal flavors as opposed to banking on weighty autumn notes. Lighter sauces and simple preparations don’t negate the comfort factor, in my book. Admittedly, I could eat Freeman’s cornbread creamed corn ($5) any day of the year, even for dessert, though the aforementioned hummingbird cake, as well as the sour orange pie ($11) with its fluffy meringue and coconut-brown-butter crust, make better endings. The pie sits next to a brush of Luxardo Apricot and brandy sauce, but, again, here’s a lost opportunity to incorporate the pineapple. A couple of the Pinery’s cocktails certainly do, as does the restaurant’s design in its color palette, striking textural elements and photo walls. Will the Pinery give the pineapple more prominence on its menu? Will a jealous neighbor spark a pineapple-themed restaurant war? Will a cursed and vacant locale reverse its fortunes and rise to the top of the 32804 restaurant heap? Or will Better Than Sex foil them all with its fine form?

FLORIDA MAN

Rave legend DJ Three returns to Orlando BY MATTHEW MOYER

owntown Orlando club night Discothèque is celebrating one year of presenting audiences at Barbarella with creative and cutting-edge DJs across generations with an iconic Florida party-starter: DJ Three. Though DJ Three (né Christopher Milo) now calls New York home, he helped jump-start the dance music scene in Florida in the 1990s with a spirit of DIY adventure that saw him notch milestones like throwing the first rave in the Southeast, bringing Moby to Florida, and playing countless house and techno sets in Orlando and Tampa clubs. Not one to rest on his historical laurels — though there are many — DJ Three still regularly spins at clubs the world over and runs tastemaking record labels, the latest being Hallucienda. See history repeat (and rewrite) itself this Friday.

incredible gay night until 2 a.m. and then it seamlessly transitioned into late-night with these kind of lineups which made for an amazing mixed crowd. The promoter would buy set pieces being sold off by Disney so the club would always look even more incredible than it already was — one night it looked like a tropical rain forest between the props, the lasers and the club’s silent dry-ice curtain. Musically speaking, sometimes we’d pull different sides of the scene into each other and book acts like Planet Soul to play live, but with me DJing before and after pushing house and techno onto the breaks crowd, making some really special moments. It was an incredible couple of years there. You’ve been credited with throwing some of the first one-off rave parties in the Southeast …

Dance music of the “house” persuasion was already happening at clubs, of course — not least of which in Orlando, but I’d gone to Los Angeles for a couple weeks for NYE 1991 to see firsthand what was happening with American rave culture. I came back fueled with belief and cardiac passion, totally determined to do some parties like I’d experienced there, which were one-off events in warehouses or Wow, so many memories from smaller venues to full-on massive clubs. I think my rented spaces with only a phone number or multiple map points to let you know years in the mid-’90s at Firestone conjure where it was day-of-show. In late 1991, up the most vivid memories because the we did The Raven club was done on such in a warehouse in a grand scale. It was a St. Petersburg. We DJ THREE monthly collaboration had things like a with their in-house with Brian Busto, Nick Whitney blacklight room promoter where 9 p.m. Friday, Sept. 17 with paint pens we did everything Barbarella, 70 N.

We’d have performed music we’d been working more house and techno-oriented guests on, and we invited other key DJs from like DJ Duke, DJ Sneak or artists more around the whole of Florida who were also known for their music than DJing, like pushing this music to really try and bring Dobre & Jamez from Touché Records, everyone together. Then in March 1992 and nights where I’d play extended sets. we were the first to bring Moby and Doc Robbie Clark and DJ Daisy played an Leaning a bit into your history of playing Orlando, tell us about some of your favorite shows you’ve played over the years.

Martin to Florida to an event that had a virtual reality machine and “smart drinks.” Those two are the most notable, I think. You were very active in the Tampa area for many years. Can you talk about the scene there and your involvement in it?

Well, it’s where I came up in my teens and 20s. What we just spoke of covers the earliest ’90s and those things lead to DJ Monk and David Christophere founding Hallucination Recordings, Rabbit in the Moon, and then there were other factions of people sustaining a thriving party scene throughout the decade. As for the scene claim, when I moved to New York City in 2002, I started a night in Tampa called Snatch that I’d fly in for as part of my monthly touring. Basically, I wanted to make sure the DNA of where I came up in and around Florida would still continue to have something happening that was also in tune with what was going on in my DJ travels. So I’d fly in as a guest and we’d also bring DJs like Felix Da Housecat, DJ Harvey and Laurent Garnier. The way Miami has become for more underground club music in the last 10 years is what Snatch was like in the ’00s. Eventually, we did the night twice a month to accommodate and elevate the thriving local DJ scene, which included people like Öona Dahl and Joint Custody. From 2002 to 2012, Snatch was a perfect orlandoweekly.com

storm of the Hyde Park Cafe as a venue, a dedicated crowd who would drive in from all over Florida and some incredible friends and DJs — Grumptronix, DJ Matty and Brian Busto were the residents over those 10 years. Having been to and DJed at most all of them, I can say it was one of the best small club nights in the U.S. for that 10-year period. What do you have planned for the anniversary show? For you to play this event establishes a sort of lineage between generations of DJs and scene-makers.

There’s never a plan really, I just try to connect the crowd to my musical whimsy. I’m really happy to be the one-year anniversary guest for Discothèque and it’s at Barbarella, no less, which definitely brings a lot of feels! I agree, the dots connect and it’s always better when they do. In Tampa, Brian Busto picked up where I left off with Snatch in 2012 with his Serious Soul events and he’s opening for me at Discothèque. This notion of lineage applies to the other Orlando nights you mentioned earlier, as well. I feel very lucky to have those roles with parties in Orlando and really anywhere in Florida I’ve been able to. It’s most important to me this music thrives anywhere it can in Florida, because this is where it all began for me. music@orlandoweekly.com ●

LOCAL RELEASES

Between them, homegrown jazz players Chris Cortez and Larry Williams have tons of history with an association that goes back to the 1980s. Cortez, of course, is well-known these days as not just a jazz guitarist but also the face of Winter Park live venue Blue Bamboo Center for the Arts and founder of record label Blue Bamboo Music. Williams gave up his local card a while back for L.A., and even gave up his trumpet nearly a decade ago. But life, fate and a recurring dream eventually led Williams full circle back to Orlando, his native instrument and his old bandmate in 2020, culminating in the Cortez/Williams Project. Although new, they’ve been publicly workshopping the new collab with regular live sessions at Blue Bamboo since the spring. Now, they’re ready with their recorded debut. Hermanos is a full-band, 11-song album of supple yet crisp jazz that celebrates Williams’ return to the trumpet and the two main players’ return to each other’s musical company. The LP won’t be rolled out nationally until Jan. 3 but they’re unveiling it locally now with music already available as a stream, download and CD through Blue Bamboo Music’s website (bluebamboo music.net). To send their debut work out into the world right, the Cortez/Williams Project is playing a release party this week. (8 p.m. Friday, Sept. 17, Blue Bamboo Center for the Arts, $25 — limited capacity, masks required) A new electronic act on the Orlando map is Protosynthesis, the duo of engineer Kevin Tuck (Man Is Manmade) and arranger Joshua Jauz (Electric Dawn), whose musical histories go back to when they were both in Swansinger.

DJ Three: A portal to house music’s golden era has been opening up all over downtown lately, and this one’s both big and native. For their one-year anniversary, club night Discothèque is going deep with DJ Three, a Tampa OG who was at the vanguard of the Florida rave tsunami that attained global cachet in the 1990s and rocketed him to residencies at legendary clubs like Gainesville’s Simons and NYC’s Twilo.

been a friendly synth collaboration for several years eventually became a formal project with the release of a debut single (“Blank Space”) last year. Now Protosynthesis have finally followed that up with brand-new single “Kiss and Tell,” a sliver of minimal and moody electronic pop. Already a notable leap from their first song, this track is a sleek, icy ride into darkness. From here on, Protosynthesis plan to drop singles every month or two. Look for them on Bandcamp.

SEPT. 15-21, 2021 ● ORLANDO WEEKLY

“HANDS ON” I’m a 35-year-old straight woman living in the Midwest. I was seeing a massage therapist for three years and we became very close friends. I referred my friends to him and helped him grow his business. He eventually disclosed to me that he had developed feelings for me. I went into instant shock and said that I had no idea and I thought we were only growing in our friendship. He told me that he had to tell me and wanted to leave it up to me if I felt comfortable continuing to see him. I was really numb from my shock and thought I was OK at first, only later realizing how upset and violated I felt. I never went back to him. I found out that he closed his practice during COVID. My question is, should I report him to his ethics board? Really Upset By Bewildering Erotic Disclosure No. This guy was initially your massage therapist, RUBBED, but you eventually became very close friends. I’m going to assume this was one of those consensual friendships — meaning, your former massage therapist didn’t force his friendship on you — and that you welcomed his friendship. So, while you may have gotten to know him in a unique professional setting, you wound up in a kind of two-track relationship with him: He was your massage therapist and also your friend. It’s not uncommon for friends to catch feelings for each other, and it would seem to be in his capacity as your friend that your massage therapist caught feelings for you. Given that he developed feelings for you, I don’t see how he could avoid making this disclosure. Indeed, keeping these feelings to himself while continuing to see you as a client — or dropping you as a client without explanation (an explanation that you, as a friend, would have felt entitled to) — would have constituted an ethical violation. “What he did was borderline, but not unethical,” said a physical medicine practitioner that I shared your question with. “That he brought up the fact that she could/should consider no longer seeing him keeps it just in bounds. The most correct thing would’ve been to maintain boundaries and not become friends in the first place.” Another massage therapist I spoke to did think your former massage therapist was guilty of an ethical lapse. He referred me to the professional code of conduct published by his professional association — the College of Massage Therapists of British Columbia — which bars entering into a “close personal relationship” with a client. He felt the friendship was the ethical violation; if your massage therapist had done the right thing and kept your relationship strictly professional, he wouldn’t have caught feelings for you the way he did. And if he hadn’t caught feelings for you the way he did, RUBBED, he wouldn’t 42

have put himself in the position of having to disclose those feelings to you. Or put you in the position of having to listen to him make that discomforting disclosure. I understand not wanting to see this massage therapist again, RUBBED, and I understand feeling squicky about this. If I were in your shoes, I would probably wonder how much time, if any, passed between my friend/ massage therapist becoming consciously aware of his romantic feelings for me and the moment he disclosed those feelings — and I might find myself thinking back on our previous sessions and feeling a little goobed out. But while it’s uncomfortable to contemplate a massage therapist taking his own pleasure in your sessions, RUBBED, that’s always a risk. (Kind like friends catching feelings for friends is always a risk.) We rely on massage therapists to be professionals and to quash feelings of sexual attraction during a session, regardless of how long we’ve been seeing them. And regardless of what kind of relationship we might have with them outside the treatment room. Some of the massage therapists I spoke with felt you should report him, but the majority did not — and I’m going to stick with my advice not to report him. But you get to make your own call.

buzzy state of perpetual horniness. Doms who lock their lover’s cocks up in chastity devices (instead of relying on them to refrain climaxing or jacking off) often report that their perpetually horny partners are more attentive. And while those are attractive perks, I’ve never been tempted to go the orgasm denial route myself. First and foremost, I enjoy coming too much to give it up. And coming in a close second, multiple studies have shown a link between frequent ejaculation and a lower incidence of prostate cancer. Maybe at 72 you’re not worried about prostate cancer — seeing you haven’t gotten it by now — but guys who don’t want to risk prostate cancer should err on the side of busting those nuts (which is not to be confused with busting those balls). As for your problem, WAD, if withholding orgasms is making it difficult for you to have ’em when you want ’em, well, then you might wanna stop withholding ’em. But considering how much pleasure you get out of withholding them — that buzz, those spectacular orgasms when you do come — maybe unpredictable orgasms are a price you’re willing to pay. It’s also possible that age caught up with you and your orgasms became a little less reliable at the same time you took up Tantric sex practices. (For the record: While sex is a part of tantra, sex isn’t the only thing tantra is about.)

I’m a healthy and active 72-year-old man who found love the second time around. In fact, I have discovered not only a depth of love I never knew existed, with my new mate I have the most active and satisfying sex life I’ve ever known. My question is this: During nearly a year of solitary processing after my marriage ended, I chanced upon writings about Tantric lovemaking practices and was fascinated by them. I began to practice withholding ejaculation, which is a Tantric practice that has tremendous benefits. One of those benefits is existing in a state of perpetual desire for my partner and this lovely hum of continual sexual energy between us. But after two years of practicing withholding semen, I now find it almost impossible to come at the time of my choosing. It is almost as if my inner Tantric Shaman has taken hold of the controls. The wonderful woman in my life consistently has multiple orgasms, but I come about once every seventh or eighth time, and only when we have a long, involved and deeply connected sex session. While the release, when it comes, is always spectacular, I would like to have more control over my orgasms. Do you have any suggestions? Wanting A Direction

Meet Bricks! Bricks (A445252) is a sweet 7-yearold boy who was surrendered by his previous owner because they were moving and could not take with them. According to them, Bricks knows some obedience commands, is friendly with women and men, and needs work when it comes to being housebroken. He is crate-trained and has not been around cats or other dogs very much, except for interactions here in the shelter.
