The whole case is compelling, but when I read Andrew's piece I was struck about the contrast between the sort of arrest / prosecution PR releases every department does and the resistance to it for the officers.
I'd bar arrest announcements if I could.

Meanwhile, DA Sullivan's office regularly posts press releases with the names of people it prosecutes on its website, as my lawyer pointed out at the December 3 hearing.

I’m all for a good rag on Elon Musk but also we used to have phonebooks that did this
NEW: Elon Musk's Grok chatbot will, with minimal prompting, provide residential addresses of everyday Americans.
Prompts as simple as "[name] address" immediately returned accurate home addresses of private citizens — alongside other personal info we didn't ask for.

The levels of failure on this marketing mail from the Danbury Mint is incredible. The blacked out name is my father, who has not lived at this address in a decade and, to my knowledge, has never been linked to me as a spouse.
Also I want to see their studies or surveys on chain lengths.
