Over and over the cycle repeats: Bad tech do bad thing Politicians: make bad tech not to bad thing? Companies: no bad thing make money Politicians: ah okay keep doing bad thing just add more spy
Electronic Frontier FoundationThe new CHATBOT Act doesn’t just require parental permission for teens to use AI. It requires AI companies to build monitoring systems that store and analyze entire conversations, creating new privacy risks for entire families. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...
Pritzker has been told directly how this is a bad law that does real damage to kids, increases surveillance and is likely unconstitutional. He chose to sign it anyway because it'll give him headlines about protecting children and taking on big tech for his presidential run. A huge disappointment
Governor JB PritzkerWhen addictive social media feeds depend on keeping a child's attention at any cost, their well-being takes a back seat. Enough is enough — we’re requiring these companies to make social media safer for the future of Illinois.
BLUESKY - WE NEED YOUR HELP! We’re trying to get AI facial recognition tech banned at venues. We’ve got hundreds of artists who’ve pledged to boycott venues that use this tech & we’re shifting into high gear to get hundreds more!
It’s important to understand “age verification” and “kick the kids off social media” laws as a gift to Big Tech. These policies allow surveillance capitalism to chug along full steam ahead and let Silicon Valley giants off the hook. Instead of regulating their biz model, we just put up age gates
So many awesome artists have signed our pledge to boycott venues that use AI surveillance in the last week! Don't see your fave band? Send this to them! Recent signers: AJJ Apes of the State Dame Fai Laci Judy Chicago Jolie Holland Juan Alderete Pedro the Lion SOJI Veronica Swift Xiu Xiu +++
This was never about Taylor Swift. It’s about the fact that privacy shouldn’t be a luxury. If you’ve been paying attention, you know that AI facial recognition is pervasive & dangerous. We encourage you to read the latest op-ed from our director @evangreer.bsky.social via @msnowreports.bsky.social
imagine getting dunked on by Playboy for being weird about women’s bodies
PlayboyWhat are the incel men up to over on X? Focussing on a quirk of women’s bodies most of us have never even thought about before now. Our take? "Making women mad and getting likes from fellow incels is all they have going for them." Read now: www.playboy.com/read/sex/the...

Disaster capitalism nearing its final form…
Brian LymanA lot of what-the-hell moments in this story, but building a data center in a floodplain in Louisiana is inviting the wrath of Poseidon.
The anti-data center movement is like "I don't want to pay more money for a thing that will not benefit me at all and will actively make my life measurably worse in a bunch of ways" and the pro-data center movement is like "We want it to be illegal for you to not like us."
Hypervisible😬
I am heartened by the growing bipartisan concern about Flock cameras. I have no illusions that Congress is going to do anything about this issue anytime soon, but this is a sign that our movement is shifting tectonic plates and radically changing public opinion and political will. Keep going.
