Fantastic photo from UT Austin. I was not able to find the original photographer to give credit, despite them deserving it.

Pretty crazy time to be on a college campus right now, Umich's "liberation zone" on the diag has grown in size, as has the police presence. The movement will not be stopped.

"Citizen, leave a copy of your home keys at the police station."

Hmm, people won't like that.

How about, "home-builders have a social responsibility ...[and must give police copies of all house keys]"

Much better.

@anonymiss

to me, #biometric unlocking, is unsafe, you see a lot of unauthorised unlocking from restrained, sleeping, dead, or drunken people from either face or fingerprint to unlock a device.

it was established a few years ago that law enforcement in the usa do not need a warrant for biometric unlocking, but need warrant if a password is enabled, to unlock a device.

US Senate to Vote on a Wiretap Bill That Critics Call ‘Stasi-Like’

A controversial bill reauthorizing the Section 702 spy program may force whole new categories of businesses to eavesdrop on the US government's behalf, including on fellow Americans.

House Votes to Extend—and Expand—a Major US Spy Program

The US House of Representatives voted on Friday to extend the Section 702 spy program. It passed without an amendment that would have required the FBI to obtain a warrant to access Americans’ information.

“Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R, Ga.) is poised to try to oust him from the speakership.”

Also— they made a number of changes to the #surveillance bill, including changing the renewal time frame to two years.

Fun fact: Trump had signed it back into law in 2018 & sought a permanent renewal from Congress.

Free CCTV! What's the catch?

The UK Home Office has extended a programme to supply Mosques, temples and Synagogues with security equipment through the US-owned Esotec Ltd.

We're highlighting the risk that cloud stored #CCTV data across all sites could be seized by security services through secretive #surveillance powers.

This would happen without the knowledge of people running or attending places of worship, community centres or faith schools.

What #encryption do you use for your everyday #communication?

I'm not talking about your nerd friends, who can be counted on one hand and who know a thing or two about the subject. I'm talking about your normal friends, business partners and colleagues with whom you communicate both professionally and privately.

I was recently called by my support via Microsoft Teams because I had to enter some passwords. The support team proudly said that they were contacting me via Teams because it was more secure than the normal phone. He was then very surprised when I told him that Teams is unencrypted and can be intercepted much more easily.
