  1. #Police corporal created #AI #porn from driver's license pics

    A corporal in the #Pennsylvania state police yesterday pleaded guilty to a mind-boggling set of crimes that include going through his co-workers' underwear, possessing a stolen gun, having child sexual abuse material on his hard drives, and using AI tools to create over 3,000 #pornographic "deepfakes."

  2. "Many in the UK were outraged by proposals to give the Department of Work and Pensions the power to examine people’s bank accounts. In the US, Hasbrouck points to a recent report from the House Judiciary Committee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government that documents the Treasury Department’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network’s collaboration with the FBI to push banks to submit reports of suspicious activity while it trawled for possible suspects after the January 6 insurrection. Yes, the destructors should be caught and punished; but also any weapon turned against people we don’t like can also be turned against us. Did anyone vote to let the FBI conduct financial surveillance by the million?

    Now imagine that companies outsource ID checks to the government and offload the risk of running their own. That is how the no-fly list works. That’s how airlines operate *now*. GIAAS.

    Then add the passive identification that systems like facial recognition are spreading. You can no longer reliably know whether you have been identified and logged, who gets that information, or what hidden decision they may make based on it. Few of us are sure of our rights in any situation, and few of us even ask why."

    In related news, our #DriversLicenseDivision was rolled out of the #DMV and into the #StatePolice under the umbrella of the #DHS

    They still “Protect and Serve,” but it’s not you or I that they’re protecting and serving.

    Bottom Line: Osama bin Laden was more successful at destroying America than he ever dreamed possible. And it’s gone largely unnoticed.

  7. A #Pennsylvania #court says #statepolice can't hide how it monitors #socialmedia
    Andrew Christy, a lawyer with the #ACLU of Pennsylvania, said the ruling "sort of puts #lawenforcement on the same playing field as all government agencies. If they have a legal justification to keep something secret, then they have to put forth sufficient evidence to justify that."
