ICE has spent hundreds of millions on surveillance. Some technologists are building tools to find it, map it, and push back. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

That's like people on the internet yelling "Google it" when you ask for a source to back up what they are saying. They instantly lose all credibility.

Amazon’s Ring doorbell camera system won the “Worst in Show” for privacy at #CES2026 for “doubling down on privacy invasion and supporting the misconception that more surveillance always makes us safer,” EFF’s Cindy Cohn told @apnews.com.
'Worst in Show' CES products include AI refrigerators, AI companions and AI doorbells

Thousands of people on X are using Grok to create sexualized images of adults + minors wearing minimal clothing. This not only violates X's own content policy, it may violate the guidelines of Apple’s App Store and the Google Play store:

Why Are Grok and X Still Available in App Stores?
Elon Musk’s chatbot has been used to generate thousands of sexualized images of adults and apparent minors. Apple and Google have removed other “nudify” apps—but continue to host X and Grok.
