The war on crypto never ends. The war on privacy, civil rights, security and freedom of speech never ends.

This time we are dangerously close to lose. The "Child Sexual Abuse" (CSA) EU regulation proposal, more aptly nicknamed "ChatControl", will be voted AGAIN this October, and many countries who opposed it last year are now undecided. The proposal at its roots aims at allowing authorities to break end-to-end encryption for the usual reason: "because of the children". As a father of two, I am disgusted by this recurring, cheap rhetoric.

An excerpt from Patrick Breyer's website, stating: The End of the Privacy of Digital Correspondence The EU Commission proposes to oblige providers to search all private chats, messages, and emails automatically for suspicious content – generally and indiscriminately. The stated aim: To prosecute child sexual exploitation material (CSEM). The result: Mass surveillance by means of fully automated real-time surveillance of messaging and chats and the end of privacy of digital correspondence. Other aspects of the proposal include ineffective network blocking, screening of personal cloud storage including private photos, mandatory age verification resulting in the end of anonymous communication, appstore censorship and excluding minors from the digital world.

The DOJ has halted lawsuits accusing Louisiana of keeping prisoners locked up long after they were meant to be released and South Carolina of institutionalizing thousands of mentally ill people — sometimes for decades — in violation of federal law.

Now That They’re Free, Venezuelan Men Want the World to Know What They Endured in #CECOT
==

We interviewed nine Venezuelan men who were sent to CECOT in #ElSalvador by the #Trump administration.

Some said their feelings about what happened were still raw.

All of the men said they were abused physically and mentally during their imprisonment.

@ProPublica Simply put: A corrupt American psychopath paid a corrupt El Salvadoran psychopath with American taxpayers' dollars for what now freed Venezuelans endured in El Salvador's torture prison CECOT.

There are no words for how garbage this is. If you currently give money to Amazon in any capacity, please stop.

"Not only is the company reintroducing new versions of old features which would allow police to request footage directly from Ring users, it is also introducing a new feature that would allow police to request live-stream access to people’s home security devices.

[Ring founder Jamie] Siminoff has announced in a memo seen by Business Insider that the company will now be reimagined from the ground up to be “AI first”—whatever that means for a home security camera that lets you see who is ringing your doorbell. We fear that this may signal the introduction of video analytics or face recognition to an already problematic surveillance device."

In Nov, a federal #jury found Brett Hankison, the #Louisville #police officer, #guilty of violating #BreonnaTaylor’s #CivilRights during a March 2020 police raid in which she was fatally shot, becoming the first officer directly involved in the case to be convicted on #criminal charges.
Hankison faced a maximum sentence of life in prison.

Breaking with standard protocol, the memo was not signed by any career prosecutors but by Robert J. Keenan, a senior counsel to the #CivilRights division who was not part of the original prosecution team, & Harmeet Dhillon, the head of the division who was appointed under the #Trump admin.

The #Trump#DOJ requested that a #Louisville police officer #convicted in connection with a raid that resulted in #BreonnaTaylor’s death serve just one day in prison. In an unusual sentencing memo, the #FederalGovernment suggested to a #judge that the #Biden admin should not have prosecuted the officer on #CivilRights charges.

The trauma of racial profiling is real, and its effects—especially on youth—are long-lasting.

We must ensure that public spaces remain safe and welcoming—not sites of fear or intimidation.

Your voice matters. Don’t let silence win. Know your rights, and protect the rights of those you serve.

🙏🏽RIP to my friend TED LEWIS

Though we only knew each other online, he was a huge inspiration to me. From a USMC '66 veteran to a #photographer, he was a true champion for #community and public access media. I'll always remember his incredible love for life, even doing pushups in his 80s.

✨He truly embodied his own words: "Just a great guy with a sense of humor! And, a desire to achieve, and when and where possible help someone along the road of life!!!"

The ruling remains in place for 10 days. A coalition of #CivilRights groups, led by the #ACLU of Southern California & the nonprofit #PublicCounsel, is seeking a more durable order, known as a preliminary #injunction.

…During a hearing Thurs, the judge was skeptical about the govt’s assertions that it was not violating people’s constitutional rights & that agents were stopping #immigrants based on “the totality of circumstances,”rather than relying on race.

…Mark Rosenbaum, a lawyer with #PublicCounsel, said, “The order reflects there is something very wrong when the federal government goes to war against an American city & ignores the #Constitution.” He added, “Hopefully this ends the actions of the government rounding up carwash workers & other hardworking people like they were domestic terrorists.”

“What the federal government would have this Court believe — in the face of a mountain of evidence presented in this case — is that none of this is actually happening,” the judge wrote.

She said that “roving patrols” without reasonable suspicion violated the #FourthAmendment of the #Constitution & that denying access to lawyers violated the #FifthAmendment.

In the orders, the judge, Maame E. Frimpong of the US District Court for the Central District of #California, directed agents to stop #RacialProfiling in the course of seeking out #immigrants, & mandated that the #federal government, which has deployed hundreds of agents from #ICE & other agencies in #LosAngeles County, ensure detainees have access to legal counsel.
