Two of The Markup's Investigations Nominated for NIHCM Award
Two investigations in The Markup’s Pixel Hunt series are finalists for the 2024 National Institute for Health Care Management Foundation Data-Driven Storytelling Award. The award recognizes excellence in health reporting that is data-driven, sparks policy change, broadly informs the public, and/or stimulates conversation on timely issues, among other criteria.
\ In two investigations, The Markup discovered and disclosed to readers that we found the Meta Pixel sharing sensitive data about people who were visiting dozens of websites tied to the national mental health crisis 988 hotline and 12 of the largest drug stores. Each reporting effort resulted in tangible impact, from lawsuits to companies removing the pixel after we alerted them:
- Need to Get Plan B or an HIV Test Online? Facebook May Know About ItTwelve of the largest drug stores in the U.S. sent shoppers’ sensitive health information to Facebook or other platforms, according to an investigation by The Markup and KFF Health News
- Suicide Hotlines Promise Anonymity. Dozens of Their Websites Send Sensitive Data to FacebookThe Markup found many sites tied to the national mental health crisis hotline transmitted information on visitors through the Meta Pixel
- Three Class Action Lawsuits Follow Markup Pixel InvestigationsRiteAid and Meta face proposed class actions, California attorneys filed RICO suit against H&R Block, Meta, and Google
\ A big congratulations to everyone who has worked on this series. Congratulations as well to our partner KFF Health News, who coreported our drug store investigation.
\ The Markup is continuing to investigate websites that have shared sensitive data through the Meta Pixel and other trackers. In November 2023, we found that Facebook watches teens online as they prep for college.
\ Follow our full Pixel Hunt series for our investigations and impact. Congratulations to all of this year’s NIHCM award finalists.

A Netflix ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Short Film Has Been Rated For Release
The post A Netflix ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Short Film Has Been Rated For Release appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. KPop Demon Hunters Netflix Everyone has wondered what may be the next step for KPop Demon Hunters as an IP, given its record-breaking success on Netflix. Now, the answer may be something exactly no one predicted. According to a new filing with the MPA, something called Debut: A KPop Demon Hunters Story has been rated PG by the ratings body. It’s listed alongside some other films, and this is obviously something that has not been publicly announced. A short film could be well, very short, a few minutes, and likely no more than ten. Even that might be pushing it. Using say, Pixar shorts as a reference, most are between 4 and 8 minutes. The original movie is an hour and 36 minutes. The “Debut” in the title indicates some sort of flashback, perhaps to when HUNTR/X first arrived on the scene before they blew up. Previously, director Maggie Kang has commented about how there were more backstory components that were supposed to be in the film that were cut, but hinted those could be explored in a sequel. But perhaps some may be put into a short here. I very much doubt those scenes were fully produced and simply cut, but perhaps they were finished up for this short film here. When would Debut: KPop Demon Hunters theoretically arrive? I’m not sure the other films on the list are much help. Dead of Winter is out in less than two weeks. Mother Mary does not have a release date. Ne Zha 2 came out earlier this year. I’ve only seen news stories saying The Perfect Gamble was supposed to come out in Q1 2025, but I’ve seen no evidence that it actually has.

Taiko Makes Chainlink Data Streams Its Official Oracle
The post Taiko Makes Chainlink Data Streams Its Official Oracle appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Notes Taiko has officially integrated Chainlink Data Streams for its Layer 2 network. The integration provides developers with high-speed market data to build advanced DeFi applications. The move aims to improve security and attract institutional adoption by using Chainlink’s established infrastructure. Taiko, an Ethereum-based ETH $4 514 24h volatility: 0.4% Market cap: $545.57 B Vol. 24h: $28.23 B Layer 2 rollup, has announced the integration of Chainlink LINK $23.26 24h volatility: 1.7% Market cap: $15.75 B Vol. 24h: $787.15 M Data Streams. The development comes as the underlying Ethereum network continues to see significant on-chain activity, including large sales from ETH whales. The partnership establishes Chainlink as the official oracle infrastructure for the network. It is designed to provide developers on the Taiko platform with reliable and high-speed market data, essential for building a wide range of decentralized finance (DeFi) applications, from complex derivatives platforms to more niche projects involving unique token governance models. According to the project’s official announcement on Sept. 17, the integration enables the creation of more advanced on-chain products that require high-quality, tamper-proof data to function securely. Taiko operates as a “based rollup,” which means it leverages Ethereum validators for transaction sequencing for strong decentralization. Boosting DeFi and Institutional Interest Oracles are fundamental services in the blockchain industry. They act as secure bridges that feed external, off-chain information to on-chain smart contracts. DeFi protocols, in particular, rely on oracles for accurate, real-time price feeds. Taiko leadership stated that using Chainlink’s infrastructure aligns with its goals. The team hopes the partnership will help attract institutional crypto investment and support the development of real-world applications, a goal that aligns with Chainlink’s broader mission to bring global data on-chain. Integrating real-world economic information is part of a broader industry trend. Just last week, Chainlink partnered with the Sei…
