Games media can't ignore BDS Xbox boycott

aftermath.site/microsoft-bds-...

this one’s super shameful.
encryption was rolled out because 2020 activists learned how to listen to their scanners to know when SRG would be showing up to beat them up, and NYPD disliked that.
the only actual impact this has is preventing news teams from being able to report on emergencies.

Among the bills vetoed by Gov Hochul in the close of the year,
the "Keep police radio public act," which would have ensured that police dispatch radio remained audible to the press.
Encrypted radio communications make it much harder for the press to keep law enforcement accountable.
