"AI can multiply the power of individual surveillance tools exponentially, transforming them from limited investigative resources into an omnipresent digital dragnet that monitors everyone, not just people suspected of serious crimes."

On the day John Wall is celebrated by the Wizards organization, it’s only right to post his iconic game winner from the 2017 playoffs🔥

Officials in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and Eugene, Oregon, found that some Flock Safety license plate readers were still active after the municipalities asked for services to be terminated https://t.co/w392fnLln1

Flock said around 3% of its law enforcement customers do not use multi-factor authentication, potentially exposing dozens of law enforcement agency accounts open to compromise and improper access. https://t.co/g9jYZk94KO

If you do one surveillance-related thing this week, read this and then check whether your community is using Flock.

License plate readers were sold as tools for finding stolen cars, but records have now shown that they're being used in abortion investigations. States must ban law enforcement from using ALPRs to investigate healthcare decisions and prohibit sharing data across state lines. https://t.co/Z6udLprM7i

@chefsevenn how you leave out New Haven??

[+972 Magazine @972mag]

“The West Bank is almost finished. They talk about a Palestinian state, but where? Settlements have almost taken over the Jordan Valley; they will soon reach Hebron in the south. There are no [areas] left to negotiate over.”

[Gideon Epstein @Gideon_Epstein]

@NexusProjectUS Ironic how the author suggests that real claims of anti-Palestinian racism work “as a tool of political censorship, punishing dissent and suppressing debate[,]” while the Trump administration weaponizes anti-Semitism and detains pro-Palestinian voices for their speech.

“I’m not asking permission. I am calling for courage. I am invoking grief as resistance. I’m part of building something that doesn’t yet have a name—but you’ll know it when you see it.

Just published an essay organizing some thoughts on the internet, American politics, and theories of modernization. Would be very cool if you read it!

In November, Allison Riggs won the race for North Carolina Supreme Court by 734 votes. But now, the losing candidate wants thousands of ballots thrown out.

@CommonCauseNC's Bob Phillips says it would silence “the voices and votes of 60,000 voters.” https://t.co/8ChyGvWzwg

We need to protect voting rights not just in our swing states, but in every state.

I'm live on the Senate floor calling for the passage of my AI Civil Rights Act. While AI poses great promise, we cannot allow the AI Age to replicate and supercharge the bias and discrimination already prevalent in society today. https://t.co/fdA3skXwIF
