This Company Will Add #Phone , #AirPod , and #Smartwatch #Trackers to #LicensePlate Readers

A #surveillance company plans to add #sensors to automatic license plate readers (ALPRs) that would mean the devices, as well as capture the license plate of passing vehicles, would also sweep up unique identifiers of mobile phones, wearables, and other Bluetooth-enabled devices in those cars, potentially letting law enforcement identify specific drivers or passengers.

The technology, called #SignalTrace , would turn #ALPR #cameras from devices focused on #tracking cars to ones that can more readily track the location of particular people. ALPR cameras have become a commonly deployed technology all across the U.S.; SignalTrace would make some of those cameras capable of collecting much more data.

How and Why to Fight Back Against #SocialMedia Bans

Several U.S. states are pushing to ban young people from social media entirely. This marks the latest wave of #censorship bills masquerading as “children’s online safety” measures, with states like #Massachusetts , #Idaho , #Minnesota , #NorthCarolina , #SouthCarolina , #Illinois , and EFF’s home state of #California leading the charge.

Just a few years ago, lawmakers supporting age-gating laws insisted their efforts were narrowly targeted at limiting young people’s access to adult content.

In reality, what they call age verification is abusive ID surveillance checks for everyone.

Start calling it what it is:
ID Surveillance.

We must all fight to Stop ID Surveillance.

The UK just announced they'll scan every photo on your phone to "protect children." The problem? "Proof of age" isn't defined. No legislation. No spec. No limits. This is surveillance infrastructure with no defined end state.

Smart locks. Thermostats. Water sensors. They are logging your comings, goings, and habits to the cloud. And you didn't choose them.

Stop renting a surveillance node. Start reclaiming your sanctuary.

California AB 2047: The End of Open Source 3D Printing

California just introduced a bill that doesn't just regulate "ghost guns", it mandates a digital kill switch for every 3D printer sold. California AB 2047 requires "blocking technology" that connects your printer to a government-approved database before every single print. If the system goes down, or your file is flagged, your hardware becomes a paperweight.

This isn't just about firearms. This is the death of Open Source. If this bill passes, it effectively bans Marlin, Klipper, and Orca Slicer, forcing every manufacturer to lock down their firmware. It turns general-purpose computing into a walled garden where you only rent permission to use the hardware you own.

🚨 LinkedIn Is Illegally Searching Your Computer

｢ Every time any of LinkedIn’s one billion users visits https://linkedin.com, hidden code searches their computer for installed software, collects the results, and transmits them to LinkedIn’s servers and to third-party companies including an American-Israeli cybersecurity firm.
The user is never asked. Never told. LinkedIn’s privacy policy does not mention it ｣

Age Verification is beyond Epstein 2.0.

"You are basically laying out your children on a silver platter in the name of protecting them."

"Once these OS-level age verification laws take hold, we're about 3 months from a real-time GPS-located database of verified children for creeps, politicians, and rich Ep-style people to use."

Federal Right To #Privacy Act

The Solution: A Comprehensive Privacy Bill

The bill imposes hard limits on #surveillance , hidden collection, #coercive “consent,” brokered data trafficking, and government circumvention of what should be a lawful process balancing #freedom with evidence of wrongdoing. It restores rule-based protections people can understand and courts can enforce.
