NEW: Gov. Bob Ferguson has signed the Driver Privacy Act (SB 6002) into law. This new law regulates automated license plate readers (ALPRs), which store license plate data from countless drivers every day and enable government agencies to track where people drive and when.

Tonight! Watch EFF's Executive Director Cindy Cohn on The Daily Show at 11 pm ET and PT. She'll be speaking with host Jon Stewart about her long history of fighting for privacy online and her new book, Privacy’s Defender: My Thirty-Year Fight Against Digital Surveillance. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

The Pentagon tells reporters to file a FOIA, wait until 2038 to get any info about its war machine. Not to be outdone, the DOJ blames the public for asking how their government works. These stories and more in our secrecy newsletter, The Classifieds.

I'm attending a @theactionnetwork.bsky.social event: Flock Out Now! How to Launch a Campaign Against Your Town's ALPR Contracts. RSVP here: actionnetwork.org/events/flock...

Issaquah CM here. Can confirm the city received a grant to buy Flock cameras and will discuss at upcoming public meetings (details below). I’d recommend anyone with opinions in Issaquah reach out to council. I have serious concerns but will save my own comments for the public meetings.

⚠️ Could #Flock mass #surveillance be coming to #Issaquah soon? This was pitched to council a year ago, but was awaiting a grant which we're told has now come through. 19 potential entry/exit points will be considered as part of a "pilot program" at an estimated cost of up to $200K per year.

The Espionage Act has been used for decades to target journalists and whistleblowers who expose wrongdoing. Use our action center tool to tell lawmakers to pass the Daniel Ellsberg Press Freedom and Whistleblower Protection Act and reform the archaic law.

🧵 Last year, I reported a lot about Flock's ALPRs in Evanston, and when I last wrote it seemed like all cams were on the way out. Thing is, Flock never removed two of them. Yesterday, I asked them why; today, they're suddenly gone. Full story here, and more details on the cams/the contract below ⬇️

Lawmakers from across the political spectrum have opposed journalist surveillance in the past. We hope the Privacy Protection Updates Act "receives the enthusiastic bipartisan support it deserves," FPF's Seth Stern said. Read more from @wyden.senate.gov:

We are a local group that formed out of like-minded individuals attending city council and protests. We are speaking out against Flock, Axon, and all mass surveillance in the Northern Colorado area. Come see us at Table 4 from 10-2 P.M. at No Kings! We will have Zines and ways to get involved!

I can almost understand the "I'm not doing anything wrong, so I don't care I'm being filmed" crowd. But I cannot for life of me understand the "I'm not doing anything wrong, so I don't care I'm being filmed and also don't care about spending massive amounts of tax dollars doing it" crowd. #Deflock

"The word “privacy” does not appear — except once, regarding credit card processing when subjects pay for the privilege of their surveillance." #Flock #Surveillance #Tech #ALPR #DeFlock

not only does UNC have flock cameras installed on campus, but the Director of Communications for Flock is a UNC alumna

ZERO FLOCKS GIVEN Actually, some flocks given from our analysis. We revisited our WiGLE Power-Up in Synapse to do some Flock Safety Device hunting Signal data + context = actionable insight Do you give a flock? Interested in learning more about the Synapse-WiGLE Power-Up vertex.link/blogs/wigle/

"In its proposal, the village would formalize its position that the Flock surveillance cameras installed within village limits could not be used for civil immigration enforcement. However, there are plenty of ways for ICE to circumvent this type of restriction. " #Flock #Surveillance #Tech #ALPR

"Albany hit pause on its one operating Flock camera in February, following a nonprofit report that highlighted network searches from U.S. Border Patrol last summer. " #Flock #Surveillance #Tech #ALPR #DeFlock

"But Flock CEO Langley has argued his critics are trying to “normalize lawlessness.” I would argue, we the People, simply want to protect our own rights." #Flock #Surveillance #Tech #ALPR #DeFlock

"Flock CEO Langley has argued his critics are trying to “normalize lawlessness.” I would argue, we the People, simply want to protect our own rights." Thank you. #Flock #Surveillance #Tech #ALPR #DeFlock

"If voters do not approve, it would almost immediately wipe out the automated license plate readers that many police departments have already been using." #Flock #Surveillance #Privacy #DeFlock

“I don’t believe that infrastructure should be on campus at all. I don’t think we should have AI surveillance tools tracking students or faculty,” Keenan said." #Flock #Surveillance #Tech #ALPR #DeFlock

🔊We're hosting a Week of Action next week! Our goal is to get everyday people like you to get Flock ALPR's OUT of your city. ❌👁️‍🗨️ These camera's a threat to anyone the Trump administration is targeting & right now one of their main partnerships is w/ @lowes-official.bsky.social 👎 Training link 👇

So we're kicking off our Week of Action with our training on how to get ALPR contracts canceled with partners from @mediajustice.bsky.social & guests from @eff.org & on the ground organizers who have been successful with these efforts. Register today! actionnetwork.org/events/flock...

So it begins...

Well that's new

"If that sounds like something out of Minority Report, that's because it pretty much is. "

⚠️ "Every city council gets the same pitch. 1. Only your agency controls your data 2. Federal agencies do not have direct access 3. Nobody from Flock is accessing your footage None survive the paperwork. The reality is that non-sworn city staff have access. As do Flock employees. As does the FBI."

AOC: Companies like Palantir are mining endlessly the data and privacy of the American people—keeping track of everything that they say and do. And sending it to a militarized government. 

It was refreshing to see so many people showing up to speak about their concerns, and it was infuriating to sit there while a company lied about our research and videos. youtube.com/shorts/I_y7O...
