"We utterly defanged our regulators and let corruption hollow out Congress. The U.S. federal government genuinely no longer functions.
Yet we're still somehow subjected to this bizarre, performative pantomime in the press where we pretend the emperor is fully clothed and is capable of following through on elaborate protectionist policy that time and time again doesn't achieve any coherent goal outside of the enrichment of a bunch of preposterous assholes.
The reality remains that if the U.S. cared about consumer privacy, we'd pass a modern privacy law holding all companies (foreign and domestic) accountable. If we cared about national security and foreign influence, we'd dismantle the most corrupt administration in U.S. history. If we cared about social media propaganda, we'd properly fund journalism, boost media literacy, and embrace antitrust reform. If we cared about labor, we'd modernize and bolster unions.
The federal government no longer does these things because it's simply too corrupt to function. And the U.S. press, ostensibly tasked with conveying the truth to the electorate, is largely incapable of bluntly informing the public; in part because the truth might upset advertisers, event sponsors, ownership, and ad outreach."

What actually happens when you let apps track your activity?
What kind of data is being collected by our devices, and how is it being used? Should we "Ask app not to track"?

There's #tech folks (yes this is a sub-post) who still expect a degree of social deference that they do not merit.
How many people in the technology sector, even if they're not directly involved in pumping up Elon Musk or #GenAI garbage, are still financially vested in these things in some fashion and thus hoping that "AI" or Tesla will succeed merely because it'll boost the value of their #investment portfolio?
The culture is not used to thinking of money as corrupting...but it is.
Ukraine built a $48,000 long-range drone after covertly snapping Chinese factory photos, clone destroys Russian Tu-95 bomber — attack drone has 2,000 km range, country builds 6,000 $48,000 flyin…
The drone that destroyed a Tupolev Tu-95MS strategic bomber at Russia's Engels-2 air base last month turns out to be the MICH 2000.

This week's video is about the NoRecognition project and its adversarial design and learning model, which creates visual patterns that fool Flock cameras.
It's an exceedingly neat story. If you give it a watch, please tap the like button. That engagement helps a small creator out in a big way. Thank you.

Ferguson said he’s been surprised to see the “growing community backlash” against #Flock specifically, given that the #technology isn’t new & other companies sell it as well. But Flock & the movement against it have “captured people’s sense that maybe they don’t want to be surveilled all the time,” he said.
#law #privacy #InfoSec #immigration #MassSurveillance #tech #AbuseOfPower #deflock
Andrew Guthrie Ferguson, a professor at the George Washington University Law School whose scholarship has focused on #policing, #BigData #surveillance & the #FourthAmendment, said Thursday’s shifts were “better than the opposite” but called for further scrutiny of the #technology in the form of “sustained democratic engagement with the rules & judicial checks on access at a minimum.”
#Flock #law #privacy #InfoSec #immigration #MassSurveillance #tech #AbuseOfPower #deflock
Robert Frommer, a senior attorney at the Institute for Justice, a public interest law firm that’s led litigation over the #tech, called the changes “window dressing” from a company in “panic mode.”
“This is window dressing that doesn’t address the fundamental problem, which is that police officers are the ones deciding who & when to search, & that should be done by #judges with real warrants,” he said.
#Flock #law #privacy #InfoSec #immigration #MassSurveillance #AbuseOfPower #deflock
Critics of the company reacted skeptically to the changes, which they said appeared designed to address the growing bipartisan anger about the cameras but could still leave room for #police to abuse the system.
The ACLU said that the shortened evidence retention window could be “a step in the right direction,” but it characterized the other changes as “retreads” of inadequate safety measures.

Customers will also be allowed to decide which offense types — such as homicide or arson — outside agencies can search their data for, which would allow a customer to block outside searches related to #immigration enforcement, the company said.
Langley said that change will give individual cities & departments control to use the system in a manner “consistent with community values.”
#Flock #law #privacy #InfoSec #MassSurveillance #tech #AbuseOfPower #deflock
#Police credit the #tech as an important crime-fighting innovation that helps locate missing people & track suspects in violent crimes. But critics say it amounts to #unconstitutional warrantless #MassSurveillance. Dozens of cities & agencies have nixed their relationships with #Flock amid concerns that the data can be accessed for #immigration enforcement or in unauthorized tracking, after a flurry of examples surfaced of #LawEnforcement officers misusing the tech for personal searches.
The company operates a vast nationwide network of automated cameras that record the license plate numbers & other characteristics of all passing vehicles every day. Thousands of #LawEnforcement agencies in 49 states can search & share Flock’s data across jurisdictions to aid their investigations.

Myspace eyes comeback as an "antidote" to social media fatigue — but it may be a long shot.
CNBC reports: "The early 2000s platform would capitalize on nostalgia and rejection of the traditional social media experience."
Good morning, all.
Around my socials I've seen more than a few people asking about Flock cameras, what they are and why people are so angry, so I thought I'd re-share the video I made on Flock and Jeff Sovern, the alleged vigilante who destroyed 13 Flock cameras in his small town.

According to a former employee, the company is shutting down an office following layoffs and decided to destroy the working MacBooks rather than give them to employees or donate them.
The laptops reportedly feature Apple's M4 chips and 48GB of unified memory, making the decision particularly surprising given the hardware involved.
The company has not been named, and the claim comes from a former employee.
