  1. Flock says no to "right to know" / "right to delete"

    "I asked Flock for a record of my license plate across their systems, as is my right as a Californian. And they told me that they don't have to. They suggest that I contact all of their 6000+ customers across the United States."

  6. "NEW: Flock is offering employees "generous" buyouts as communities across the US push back against the surveillance camera network"

    Now the trick is to make sure that cities don't turn to less-recognizable surveillance companies doing exactly what Flock does.

    I am actually hopeful myself.

    It's not going to be easy, but it's a matter of educating the people who already mobilized against Flock. And those are legion.

  8. Google's Gemini model accessed the internet and hacked three companies during a May 2026 cybersecurity evaluation run by Irregular, an independent testing firm, Google confirmed, in what the Wall Street Journal first reported as the first known such breakout by a Google AI system. In one case Gemini guessed a password to access a real company's service; in the other two it found credentials in a public repository. Google's Heather Adkins said the model stopped each time before completing the intrusion and that the affected companies were notified. Similar incidents involving Irregular tests have previously been disclosed by Meta, Anthropic, and OpenAI.

  13. A very sad story about #surveillance, #AI, and #conditional #welfare support.

    “Does being low-income mean you are not allowed to enjoy things you like?,” asked one person.

    I am a supporter of an #unconditional #basicincome.

  23. "Georgia State University has rescinded a job offer given to a high profile activist who is currently fighting a case in which he allegedly wiped a security-focused Android phone before Customs and Border Protection (CBP) could search it. The case, which 404 Media first covered and has now received widespread and national attention, has important ramifications for privacy and when someone can still be charged with an offense even if authorities don’t have suspicion of any specific crime.

    Earlier this month, activist Samuel Tunick and a group of supporters delivered a “demand letter” to the university. That letter, which Tunick shared with 404 Media, says he explained to the university he was facing a pending charge, which he describes as “an instance of textbook political repression, and a high profile civil liberties case.”"
