#BOSTON: Queer & trans youth, parents & orgs will testify at the Boston City Council hearing on Protecting Life-Saving Online Resources for Marginalized Communities in response to censorship bills like KOSA & attacks on Section 230. RSVP: FFTF.Link/BostonHearing #LGBTQ #KOSA #Section230

“Since 2018, labor columnist Kim Kelly brought the labor beat to teenage readers through her “No Class” column, covering everything from wildcat strikes to general strikes, the Gilded Age labor organizer Mother Jones to contemporary Amazon warehouse conditions.” 💔 thisislaborwise.com/teen-vogues-...

The Big Beautiful Bill has always been the biggest grift of all time, not to mention a cash cow for surveillance and border tech corporations.

Stories like this demonstrate why retaining our right to develop and use VPNs is so critical @fightforthefuture.org @eff.org

my latest: i spent weeks investigating how frustrations about data centers were about to swallow american politics… …and then the 2025 election happened, proving the electoral impacts are already here. read and share my deep dive on the bipartisan AI techlash shaping our elections before our eyes!

conde nast fired the vp of new york newsguild for asking HR questions

surveillance is not safety, example ten trillion billion million zillion

“60 Minutes paid me a lot of money” In an edited-out part of the Trump interview Trump brags about extorting CBS for millions for… editing out a part of Kamala’s interview. (He also makes it clear new CBS chief Bari Weiss is in his pocket) #RIPCBS

Good, we need this energy everywhere. We must drive them from every corner of our land.

Just got through to a REAL person by calling Gillibrand, which NEVER happens lol. Super easy and quick. Give your senators a call about these nasty bills, most of which aim to allow Trump to censor his critics online and silence LGBTQIA voices.

it's never about kids it's never about safety it's always about money it's always about control

Keep calling your Senators and House Reps, and tell them to oppose KOSA and all the other kids “safety” bills in this package. We won’t stop until these bills are dead, gone and forgotten!

#Oakland stand up to mass surveillance this Saturday:

Resistance to data centers is strong in the South- check out @mediajustice.bsky.social ‘s new report for a landscape review and key ways Black, brown and working class communities are taking action! bit.ly/nodatacenters

“Facial recognition is unlike any other form of surveillance. It enables automated and ubiquitous monitoring of an entire population, and it is nearly impossible to avoid. If we don’t stop it, it will be used not to keep us safe, but to control and oppress us.”

Fantastic advocacy here re Flock. Wyden and Krishnamoorthi point out that Flock's failure to require customers to use multi-factor authentication has led to systemic security failures, including Flock accounts being listed for sale on Russian cybercrime sites.

Embracing privacy-focused technologies could lead to a society where individuals feel empowered and secure, fostering trust and innovation. A future free from constant surveillance is possible. #futurism

Senator Wyden and Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi have formally requested that the FTC open an investigation into Flock Safety for unnecessarily exposing billions of instances of civilian's vehicle location data to hackers and foreign adversaires. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

Big tech continues to demonstrate its’ alignment with fascists. BAN FACIAL RECOGNITION

Out here at the Texas State Capitol in Austin getting ready to rally alongside allies including @teslatakedownaus.bsky.social @texasaft.org to say HELL NO to Musk's trillion dollar bonus #teslatakedown #MuskMustFall

i am spreading the word that we gotta keep calling our reps and senators to oppose these bad internet bills!

KOSA UPDATE: House lawmakers are considering removing duty of care & KOSA is currently in limbo since the House & Senate versions will differ. BUT the threat of Bad Internet Bills still looms as the House considers age verification in new kids safety package... www.theverge.com/policy/81087...

Roughly twice a year a 47 year old straight white guy (take your pick: podcaster, pundit, popsci) author decides that we should repeal Section 230 and end all online anonymity. They are always convinced they are the first genius to come up with this. And they are always wrong 😑

Speak up. Don't use the "Where's the positivity!" Vibe. We're having our rights, freedom, and right to exist at risk of being taken away. We shouldn't pretend none of this is gonna happen, but it's happening. LET'S NOT LET THE EVIL WIN. #StopKOSA #Censorship #StopCensorship #LGBT+ #LGBTRights

SCOOP: Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has publicly released an app that Sheriff Offices, police departments, and other local or regional law enforcement can use to scan someone’s face as part of immigration enforcement, 404 Media has learned.

New from 404 Media: logins for Flock, the company behind the nationwide AI-camera network, are included in malware infections. Includes government and police accounts, meaning hackers could potentially break in. Senator Wyden asking FTC to investigate Flock www.404media.co/flock-logins...

We strongly condemn @CondéNast’s consolidation plans for Teen Vogue, a move that is clearly designed to blunt the award-winning magazine’s insightful journalism at a time when it is needed the most. More from our statement:

NEW: We helped the UC Berkeley Cybersecurity Clinic to organize risk assessments for mutual aid groups. Now, there's a report with digital security recs for orgs + for projects that want to build mutual aid tools: cltc.berkeley.edu/publication/...

Our anti-Ring campaign went viral over halloween weekend. I'm so proud of the work that @fightforthefuture.org is doing at a time when it is incredibly difficult to make progress toward tech justice. Our fearless activism is only possible with your support: www.fightforthefuture.org/donate/

As federal helicopters circled overhead, MediaJustice joined 100+ organizers to march through Memphis earlier this month. Organized by Tigers Against Pollution, we resisted the federal occupation of Memphis and Musk’s xAI data center. Actions like this prove that when we organize, we can win.

Here’s your tech speed-run for this week ✨

Time's up for Ring Cameras Turn 'em off

Turn off and get rid of your networked neighbourhood surveillance apparatuses. Any day, but particularly on Halloween.

We bought a house with a Ring doorbell. I immediately covered it up. That was in 2021. Ring has always felt, to me, like 1984’s Big Brother.

This should lead to the total rejection of surveillance technology. 1984 is no longer a fantasy.

“ @fightforthefuture.org highlights Flock's involvement in releasing surveillance footage to ICE… escalating raids & deportation operations…Flock has also provided data to law enforcement to investigate people traveling out of state seeking abortion medical care.“ www.cnet.com/home/securit...

Amazon Ring cameras are a privacy nightmare 👹but we know there are many reasons why people get them, so we have some suggestions ….

Il videocitofono di Amazon fa quello che vuole con i tuoi video di sicurezza. Spegnilo

Love your neighbors, cover your Rings if you have em

Turn off your Ring doorbell cameras, folks. Don't help ICE victimize families.

let families live. please cover your ring doorbells on halloween if you have them

Unacceptable! They’re really ramping up the surveillance state. Fight back, cover your Ring cameras, save your neighbors who want to take their kids trick or treating. This land is for all of us, and we have a due goddamn process ✊ #surveillancestate #ICE #FLOCK #Ring

BAN FACIAL RECOGNITION BAN FACIAL RECOGNITION BAN FACIAL RECOGNITION BAN FACIAL RECOGNITION

BREAKING: This Halloween we're issuing an urgent safety advisory for Amazon Ring camera doorbells. In order to keep neighbors & communities safe, they must be turned off! www.fightforthefuture.org/news/2025-10...

NO RING FOR ICE 🎃 If you’re headed out trick or treating, you could also educate neighbors with Ring doorbells using our door tag! Download it here: www.fightforthefuture.org/actions/ring...

‼️ ICYMI: Amazon Ring announced a partnership with the notorious surveillance tech company Flock, which was recently exposed for secretly sharing camera data w/ ICE & law enforcement investigating people who travel for abortion care.

NEW: ICE plans to build a network run by armed contractors that would move detained immigrants around the state, from all 254 counties, operating 24/7. @dell.bsky.social has the scoop: www.wired.com/story/ice-is...

Smash your Ring doorbell to pieces first thing today if you haven’t already.

Now that they've passed age-verification for porn sites, Ohio legislators want you to scan your face to download a period tracker.
