  1. Cox Media Group Was Selling a Lie, and the FTC’s Price Tag Was $930,000

    The FTC’s orders do more than collect a modest check. They impose 20 year prohibitions on future misrepresentations about data collection, surveillance, and AI capabilities for all three companies.

  14. "Flock taught cops how they could surveil the No Kings protests and “small parades” using a mix of Flock’s technology and law enforcement’s own databases in a webinar last year. As Flock publicly downplays the power of its automated license plate camera network and highlights its use to solve violent crime, the company’s seemingly endless trove of webinars, training sessions, and blog posts show it offers far more invasive capabilities.

    In the webinar, Flock’s director of market management Caity Peak explains how real time crime centers — which are police surveillance centers that utilize Flock cameras and other surveillance cameras — can be used for emergency response, but can also be used to surveil “established events” like 4th of July fireworks displays, parades, bike races, Mardi Gras, and protests. The webinar shows just how routine the idea of always-on surveillance has become, and how casually it is used during extremely innocuous events.

    Peak explains that police can use FlockOS, a software platform that combines Flock’s automatic license plate readers (ALPR), drones, gunshot detectors, 911 data, and other surveillance cameras (including ones Flock does not own) into a “single pane of glass” or single piece of software to look at various types of surveillance in one place during both emergencies and relatively mundane events in a city or town."

  15. "While standing in a private parking lot in Sussex, Wisconsin, on May 4, 2025, Napoleon Jones witnessed a traffic stop made by an out-of-county police officer. "It just didn't sit right with me," Jones told TMJ4 News, a local NBC News affiliate. "So I did what I legally could do, and I walked over and recorded it."

    Jones, a United States Navy veteran, was well within his rights to record the police stop. But even though he recorded from a safe distance without interfering, that didn't stop the Waukesha County Sheriff's deputy, Brandon Shayhorn, from later unlawfully stopping and arresting Jones.

    After Shayhorn completed the traffic stop, Jones returned to his vehicle. But before Jones could exit the parking lot, Shayhorn turned on his lights and initiated a second stop, claiming Jones' temporary license plate, displayed in the rearview window, was unreadable, reports TMJ4 News. Shayhorn demanded to see Jones' driver's license, but Jones refused, arguing that he'd been unlawfully pulled over on private property. Video clips of the encounter show the deputy opening Jones' door and pulling him from his vehicle."

  16. "In August 2026, 12 people contacted SHARE’s digital forensics experts after receiving a warning on their phones that they had been targeted in a spyware attack. Apple issues these warnings with high confidence when a user has been targeted by mercenary spyware. SHARE Foundation’s forensic analysis later confirmed two more infections – with a new version of NoviSpy, spyware first discovered in Serbia in 2024. Spyware of this kind can access everything on a device – messages, contacts, photos, app data, and other files – and can secretly record the screen or activate the microphone and camera. Its use is illegal in Serbia.

    Two global digital forensics labs – Citizen Lab at the University of Toronto and Amnesty International’s Security Lab – independently confirmed SHARE Foundation’s findings.

    Citizen Lab investigators confirmed that the phone belonging to the student movement member who received the warning was infected with Pegasus, a spyware developed by the Israeli company NSO Group. The device was hacked with a zero-click exploit targeting iPhone application iMessage. This means that the device was infected remotely, without any knowledge or interaction by the user.

    The remaining 11 devices received Apple Threat Notifications, a high-confidence indicator that they had been targeted with mercenary spyware and should therefore be treated as presumed infected."
