‘Dangerous and Shameful’: 42 House #Democrats Help #GOP Send #Trump Spying Bill to Senate
“It was these Democrats’ responsibility to stand up against this administration, and they voted to stand down instead,” said one campaigner.
Jessica Corbett, Apr 29, 2026
Excerpt: " 'The 42 Democratic votes to advance Speaker Johnson and Donald Trump’s #surveillance agenda are dangerous and shameful,' she declared.
" 'These Democrats defied their constituents and common sense to undercut meaningful privacy reforms in the House and instead voted to hand over sweeping spy powers to the Trump administration,' she stressed. 'This means continuing #warrantless backdoor searches and allowing an increasing number of federal agencies to exploit the data broker loophole to supercharge #AI and fuel mass #DomesticSurveillance.' "

#OpenAI’s contract with the #Pentagon, which claims to prohibit mass #domesticsurveillance and the use of its technology for autonomous weapons, is based on legal authorities like Executive Order 12333. This order, however, contains #loopholes that allow the NSA to collect and retain vast amounts of Americans’ communications, even if they are not the target. https://www.techdirt.com/2026/03/02/openais-red-lines-are-written-in-the-nsas-dictionary-where-words-mean-what-the-nsa-wants-them-to-mean/

#OpenAI CEO #SamAltman acknowledged that the company’s recent deal with the U.S. #DepartmentofWar was rushed and “looked opportunistic and sloppy.” Altman outlined #revisions to the agreement, including clarifying that OpenAI’s AI systems would not be used for #domesticsurveillance or by #intelligenceagencies. https://www.cnbc.com/2026/03/03/openai-sam-altman-pentagon-deal-amended-surveillance-limits.html?AIagents.at #AIagent #AI #ML #NLP #LLM #GenAI
#OpenAI is amending its contract with the #Pentagon after public #backlash regarding potential use of its #AI for #masssurveillance: CEO #SamAltman stated the AI system will not be used for #domesticsurveillance and any services to intelligence agencies would require a contract modification. https://www.businessinsider.com/openai-amending-contract-with-pentagon-amid-backlash-mass-surveillance-anthropic-2026-3?eicker.news #tech #media #news

#Anthropic is in a dispute with the #Pentagon over its usage restrictions for military purposes. The Pentagon wants Anthropic to remove #safeguards preventing its technology from being used for #autonomousweapons targeting and #domesticsurveillance. Anthropic refuses, citing concerns about responsible use, and the Pentagon has threatened to label it a supply-chain risk. https://www.reuters.com/world/anthropic-digs-heels-dispute-with-pentagon-source-says-2026-02-24/?eicker.news #tech #media #news

The #Pentagon and #Anthropic are at odds: Anthropic is concerned about its tools being used for #autonomousweapons targeting and #domesticsurveillance without sufficient #humanoversight. The Pentagon, however, argues it should be able to deploy commercial AI technology regardless of #companyusagepolicies, as long as it complies with #USlaw. https://www.reuters.com/business/pentagon-clashes-with-anthropic-over-military-ai-use-2026-01-29/?eicker.news #tech #media #news

Noted I had to login to #Feedly app today. I think the reson why is I was 'verified by #Cloudflare' ... meaning cloudflare will get to check out my reading habits, because they cache EVERYTHING, and have been known to have roots as a fed honeypot.
