That the government wants all EZ Lynk users' information “raises questions about why they want this data and what they're going to use it for beyond the prosecution of this case,” EFF’s @aaronmackey.bsky.social told @forbes.com. www.forbes.com/sites/thoma...

California quiere prohibirte usar redes sociales si tienes menos de 16 años y obligarte a verificar tu identidad con datos biométricos o documentos de gobierno, sin importar tu edad. Esto no es seguridad: es censura disfrazada. El tiempo para actuar es ahora. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

Guess I gotta repost this.

Age verification sounds reasonable until you realize it means every adult hands over their ID just to go online. We wrote about why this is a terrible idea and what should happen instead. https://proton.me/blog/keep-age-verification-from-killing-anonymity-online

Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

Fuentes, yesterday: “Our #1 political enemy is women because women constrain everything, every conversation, every man, everything. They have to be imprisoned. They are the ones that are hurting the fertility rate. They're the ones making us sympathetic to poor people, which are also brown people.”

The “ICE Out of Our Faces Act” would ban ICE and CBP agents, and some local police working with them, from acquiring or using biometric surveillance systems, including face recognition technology, or information derived from such systems. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

This cannot be something a civilian law enforcement agent is allowed to wear in the US — and an agency that has a culture that tolerates this cannot be saved.

Those last names, sigh. Proximity to power will not protect people of color from the violence of White nationalism/supremacy.

Headed to protest ICE and the countless civil liberties violations we're seeing across the U.S.? Be sure to brush up on your defense strategy with "How to Protest with Privacy in Mind" eff.org/protestprivacy

Dangerously unchecked surveillance and rights violations have been a throughline of DHS since the agency’s creation in the wake of the September 11th attacks. In particular, ICE and CBP have been responsible for countless civil liberties and digital rights violations. (1/3)www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

Another ICE shooting, another round of Republican buts and prayers

TikTok is now under US ownership and their new ToS reads like a guide to giving fascists everything they need to put you on a list. They’re collecting information about immigration status, citizenship, sexual orientation, whether you’re trans or non binary and physical or mental disabilities.

this is good more cops saying stuff like this please

ICE ended up returning the man, Saly, after realizing he’s a fucking US citizen with no criminal record, per his sister-in-law. These fucking animals.

this is what it has come to for Mexican restaurants in the Twin Cities

Under the guise of an easier workday and increased productivity, Google has been exposing more and more of its users to Gemini. They say data won't be used for training, but Google hasn’t been reliable in the past. So how do we get rid of this unwanted digital twin? ♊️ 1/6

New video shows ICE agents detaining a US citizen legal observer in Minneapolis. The agents smashed his car window, dragged him out, and placed a knee on his neck.

This is an astounding story, including Flock's typical reaction of blaming everyone else and refusing to take responsibility.

Armed ICE agents trapped US citizens in a restaurant and demanded their papers. Federal agents walked into East African restaurants in Cedar-Riverside, MN. They closed and blocked the doors. Then they demanded to see everyone’s papers. Every person present was a US citizen.

I wanted to share probably the most important sermon I’ve given and it’s while I’m being arrested. It’s torture pure and simple what happens at #Broadview. I’m ok, though I was thrown to the ground and choked with my pectoral cross. A review of the video shows I was peaceful - did I deserve this?

Google has now admitted that they will tap into users' personal data within Gmail and Drive in order for their upcoming AI search to "be more helpful". For years, Google has advertised their services as "encrypted" and "secure", which begs the question: are they really? 1/5 🧵

"The questions people ask chatbots can reveal exceptionally sensitive information" about things like their health, finances, and relationships, EFF’s Lena Cohen told @pcmag.com. “People deserve meaningful control over who can access these AI prompts.”

ChatGPT gates “confidentiality” behind expensive enterprise plans, and yet still has access to your business data, which can be given to authorities if requested. Introducing our Business plan for Lumo, where everything is encrypted by default, and not even Proton can see chats.
