Meta thinks now is a great time to launch facial recognition surveillance tech in their creepy glasses because EFF will be too distracted by fascism to notice.

We noticed.

Seven Billion Reasons for Facebook to Abandon its Face Recognition Plans
Meta’s analysis that it can avoid scrutiny by releasing a privacy invasive product during a time of political crisis is craven and morally bankrupt. It is also dead wrong.

Canada had to provide prior & express permission to Israel to allow a plane carrying #ICC suspect & PM Netanyahu to enter Canada's airspace.

This flies against not only the Court's warrant but any sense of justice and accountability.

As AI systems shape how kids learn, play, and relate, child protection can’t stop at age-based restrictions, argues Basia Walczak. A disparate impact lens can shift accountability upstream and require us to ask how AI design choices distribute harm and whether children bear unfair risks.
From Age Gates to Accountability in AI Design
Basia Walczak explains why protecting children from AI harms requires focusing on design and outcomes, not access ban.

The method required IMSI-catchers to initially identify the 🇪🇸PM’s device.

US Congress is THAT close to finally understand why spyware and digital surveillance is - in fact - bad and that this is true not just for themselves but for everyone
Pam Bondi brought a document to the Judiciary Committee today that had my search history of the Epstein files on it.

The DOJ is spying on members of Congress. It’s a disgrace and I won’t stand for it.

Ok so this is bad
A Reuters photographer captured this image of a page from Pam Bondi's "burn book," which she used to counter any questions from Democratic lawmakers during an unhinged hearing today.

It looks like the DOJ monitored members of Congress’s searches of the unredacted Epstein files.

Just wow.
