See you tomorrow, NYC!

Axon is one of the biggest provider of police tech in the country and they are staking a lot on their AI product.

Now that the ink is dry on S.B.524, if police in California use their report writing tool as it comes out of box without additional retention practices, they will be breaking the law.

NYC: I'll see you tomorrow at NYU's one-day Detention and Deportation Conference. I'll be on the afternoon panel speaking about the technology being used for immigration enforcement.

AND that departments must retain draft and edit info! Huge news considering Axon’s product deliberately doesn’t retain info on what parts of the report were written by officers or AI.

"I urge people to think of surveillance as the infrastructure of authoritarianism," says @mguariglia.bsky.social

As Trump tries to rule the nation as an authoritarian, it's important to understand the role of mass surveillance in all of this.

I talked to @mguariglia.bsky.social about that for my newsletter

This question is being asked at the perfect moment for people to start anticipating @stschrader1.bsky.social's new book.

SCOOP: Spyware maker NSO Group confirmed to us that the company has been acquired by a U.S. investment group.

NSO's spokesperson said the group "has invested tens of millions of dollars in the company and has acquired controlling ownership," but declined to say who is behind the investment.

The utter, shocking gall of PETER THIEL, co-founder of PALANTIR and funder of ANDURIL to say “be care of folks offering safety as a comoditity but only if they conform to your lifestyle”

What’s unbelievably self-deluded about this is that quite literally, this guy has spent the last 10 years propping up a suite of companies whose central thesis has been “give us billions of dollars and we can help provide safety from racial diversity that will bring about civilization collapse.”

These do not look like police videos. They look like campaign ones." I spoke about DHS's glossy, military like videos. The deportations are for the camera. @cnn.com @zbyronwolf.bsky.social

If you where in Atlanta, one of those might have been me.

I wrote about Chicago: "Is this city burning? There is a definite answer to the question. In all these cities, the answer is no. No American city is currently on fire, and if Chicago is a war zone, it’s because it’s being invaded by the president."

In 2019 when I was interviewing for the job of anti-surveillance activist at EFF I was asked what is biggest civil liberties threat that no is talking about yet---and my answer at the time was Ring. Given the general climate and its capabilities, it's even worse now.

Get. Rid. Of. Your. Ring.

🚨 We wrote about Flock rolling out "distress detection" that monitored human voices on their gunshot detection devices & asked how it was lawful under eavesdropping laws.

Now, they've changed the ad to replace a "SCREAMING" alert with a "DISTRESS" alert. See below:

New: DHS has reassigned hundreds of national security specialists, including cyber personnel from CISA, into jobs that support President Donald Trump’s mass deportation efforts and said it would fire anyone who refuses to go along. Gift link: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Because certainly there's no reason why this history might be terrifyingly relevant right now, here's a link to preorder @stschrader1.bsky.social's "Blue Power" on how police in the US organized to exempt themselves from democratic oversight and control: redemmas.org/titles/48838...

Many groups need your $, BUT you can support @eff.org's awesome work fighting the digital surveillance feeding abortion and immigration policing and the unholy alliance between big tech and an authoritarian government by buying one of this tremendously awesome "Let's Sue the Government" T-shirts.
