  6. "Georgia State University has rescinded a job offer given to a high profile activist who is currently fighting a case in which he allegedly wiped a security-focused Android phone before Customs and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.”"

  9. One camera, twenty-one days: 50,200 cars photographed, 1.6 million images. Plate, make, model, color — and bumper stickers.

    Flock spent $2M lobbying, then called taking the camera down the crime.

    Count the Motherfuckers Back: ...

  10. We have an LG TV 60UH770V (built in 2016). Thank god, it has no microphone. It runs “webOS 3.4.2-570910 (dreadlocks-digya)”.

    There is no physical network connection. And no LAN and WLAN credentials have ever been set up. It should in theory never have been able to reach the #Internet.

    It’s frightening to see what internet connected home devices can do.

    I own the glass!

  15. CW: CW: surveillance, policing

    50,200 cars. 1.6 million images. Twenty-one days, one camera — the numbers fell out when hackers pulled a Flock unit off its pole.

    Plate, make, model, color, bumper stickers. Your HRC decal is a data field.

    The dragnet isn't a side effect. It's the product.
