This is one of the most damning videos, taken just after the shooting. The ICE agents that fired the shots search the body and frantically ask "where is the gun?"

Palantir’s approach to privacy & transparency is terrible. The company specialises in creating detailed profiles of people by combining large databases about us.

Sen. David Shoebridge:
Palantir, the far-right US data corporation, has just been given security clearance with access to secret Australian govt data.
They're enabling ICE surveillance and helping target the genocide in Gaza.
It's time ban them from govt contracts and all our data.

Can we all agree now that conservative politics and most of our political media are filled with grubs? Putting the dead bodies of a terrorist attach through a mincer to make political and clickbait sausages. Sorry - your editors, leaders and advisors told you to? That just makes you a coward on top.

All AI features will also be opt-in. I think there are some grey areas in what 'opt-in' means to different people (e.g. is a new toolbar button opt-in?), but the kill switch will absolutely remove all that stuff, and never show it in future. That's unambiguous.

Something that hasn't been made clear: Firefox will have an option to completely disable all AI features.
We've been calling it the AI kill switch internally. I'm sure it'll ship with a less murderous name, but that's how seriously and absolutely we're taking this.

It is bizarre how much the news cycle about Bondi is focusing on the Gaza protests, despite no clear link between them and the attack, and how little it’s talking about ISIS, the terrorist group whose flag the terrorists had in their car.

Exactly. We know not everyone wants AI, which is why our approach is different. Firefox is not becoming an AI browser. Features are optional, clearly labeled, and fully under your control with a total opt-out coming early next year. It won't please everyone but we believe you deserve choice.
Look, I get that it's frustrating to see @firefox.com make an announcement this tone-deaf, but let's be clear: the same announcement makes it clear that their AI features will be clearly-labelled and can be turned off, which is more than we'll get from Chrome or any of its offspring (Brave, et. al.)
