Lots of folks are commenting on the fact that Meta is cozying up to the current administration, cutting out fact checking and other forms of moderation. This stuff is obviously worrying, but my big concern is: what happens when the government asks them to turn off encryption?

No excuses. Every single one of my Democratic colleagues should be voting against this bill that gives Trump and his incoming administration dictatorial powers to target nonprofit organizations as political enemies without due process.
ACLU@ACLU
Our coalition brings together over 120 diverse nonprofits to tell Congress: Giving the executive branch new power to silence dissent and dismantle civil society organizations isn't just bad policy — it's bad for democracy.

(1) Push bad bills in states
(2) Point to the "patchwork" the bills created

Littering Oakland communities with ineffective microphones is not making a meaningful dent in public safety and distracts money and attention from real solutions.
Oakland should listen to @APTPaction and community groups and shutter its broken ShotSpotter program.

I'll be covering the Public Safety Committee meeting where the CMs will consider renewing the Shotspotter contract tonight from the @Oak_Observer . Here's my coverage of the PAC's analysis that found it of questionable effectiveness and rec'd ditching it. oakland-observer.ghost.io/pac-recommends…

Oakland's cameras aren't effectively stopping people from dumping trash. Instead of wasting $ on surveillance, the City should follow the lead of my neighbors who are putting up flowers, benches, and libraries to create spaces that invite people, not junk. oaklandside.org/2024/08/02/ill…

You know what actual populism looks like? It's not demonizing immigrants. It's this: Using government to protect ordinary people from corporate greed.

We should be asking difficult questions about why the first prominent state-level deployments of genAI are aiming to scrutinize the lives of poor people and not the wealthiest among us.

Nevada will use a Google generative AI model to recommend whether people appealing unemployment denials should recieve benefits or not. It'll be the first state to experiment with the technology to make such a high-stakes government decision. gizmodo.com/googles-ai-wil…
