NEW: US airlines (Delta, United, American, etc) will shut down a program in which it sold hundreds of millions of your flight records to government agencies, including ICE, FBI, ATF, more. Comes after intense lawmaker-pressure and 404 Media's months-long reporting www.404media.co/airlines-wil...

A survey of 300 attendees at the Cerebral Valley AI Conference asking which AI startup attendees thought was most likely to fail ranked Perplexity in the top position. Second place? OpenAI.

All the good stuff is going away and all the bad stuff is multiplying - a 2025 lament.

“Honestly, it is pretty abhorrent that the city tried to make all of these arguments in the first place, but it’s great that the court reaffirmed that these are public records,” EFF’s Beryl Lipton told @404media.co.

This hidden provision is so crooked and selfish, it doesn't even apply to US Representatives. Just US Senators.

President Trump’s housing finance director, Bill Pulte, fired internal watchdogs at Fannie Mae who were looking into multiple complaints against a high-ranking company officer close to him, according to people familiar with the matter.

BREAKING: A federal jury in Brooklyn awarded our clients — 674 immigrants unlawfully jailed by the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Office — $112 million. Could not be more proud to work at @latinojustice.bsky.social and to partner with the talent of Winston & Strawn.

The Trump administration could allow the Department of Homeland Security to collect immigrant children's DNA and other sensitive biometric information, from the sound of their voice to the unique identifiers in their eyes. This endangers all of our civil liberties.

Is it too cynical to immediately think how they’ll make a bundle selling those facial recognition scans?

Today’s the last day of #OptOutOctober! Our final tip: your TV is watching you as much as you’re watching it. But you can opt out of this practice. And a special thanks to @consumerreports.org for contributing to many of these tips. www.eff.org/deeplinks/20...

“Secure multi-party computation (SMPC) proposes a way to reconcile these seemingly conflicting goals - enabling organisations to jointly compute insights without revealing their underlying data.” www.edps.europa.eu/press-public...

“We should have banned government use of face recognition when we had the chance because it is dangerous, invasive, and an inherent threat to civil liberties,” EFF’s @MGuariglia.bsky.social told @404Media.co. www.404media.co/ice-and-cbp...

We warned this exact thing would happen. This is why dozens of human rights groups have been calling to BanFacialrecognition.com for years

A long-deranged and deeply depraved man with a pronouncedly and acceleratingly deteriorating mind announces that he intends to play with the large arsenal of nuclear weapons he controls. But it's okay, because he's not seeking a third term.

BREAKING: DOJ has gone to the Seventh Circuit, seeking a writ of mandamus ordering Judge Ellis to vacate her order that Border Patrol's Gregory Bovino report to court daily. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

HAPPENING NOW: Portland Police Commander Franz Schoening testifies that federal officers on Oct. 18 barraged protesters with crowd control munitions — not because of any violence but because another federal officer accidentally shot tear gas onto the roof of the ICE facility.

BREAKING: SCOTUS defers any ruling for now in DOJ's request in the Nat'l Guard deployment case out of Illinois. Instead, the court asks for briefing about the term "regular forces" in Section 12406 — a matter raised by @martylederman.bsky.social. The means the TRO stays in effect for now.

A witness in our case had ICE reject all her documents after using facial rec on her. For her, tho, it seemed like nothing could make them accept that she has a right to be here. Either way, a gov policy of not trusting gov-issued docs is going to violate lots of people's rights.

So now Mark’s creeper specs do what they are intended to do and the company can claim users are circumventing the “guardrails” and violating the TOS. Everyone gets what they want, except for the rest of us, who get screwed.
