“Given this administration’s crackdown on free expression, protest, immigrants, and women’s health,” EFF sees this “as a bold attack on freedom of communication,” EFF’s @cooperq told @404mediaco. “They want to take away our ability to make an anonymous phone call.” https://www.404media.co/fcc-wants-to-kill-burner-phones-by-forcing-telecoms-to-get-all-customers-ids/

We made a comic about Pride Month. It is also the only comic we've ever used color in.

World Cup surveillance infrastructure not only could be used to chill people’s civil liberties now but “will outlast the current World Cup and leave cities with drastically more surveillance to be used on a day-to-day basis,” EFF’s Matthew Guariglia told @WIRED. https://www.wired.com/story/soccer-world-cup-biometric-surveillance/

Today's Low Quality Ad is for this Murphy's Law Pin. I hired Murphy's Law to defend me when I received a $10 fine for jaywalking. I am now serving a 20 year prison sentence for that minor civil infraction. Say what you will about Murphy's Law, but they stay true to their slogan.https://collabs.shop/9ph5rp

Spotkaliście się z "pięknym" fejkiem, że reprezentacja Haiti ma na koszulkach polską flagę?No więc nie. Historia jest prawdziwa, ale flaga błękitno czerwona.Dawno podpucha / klikbajt nie zrobiła takich zasięgów w korpo-anty-social-mediach 😜 #fejk" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://konkret24.tvn24.pl/swiat/polska-flaga-na-koszulkach-haiti-film-wyjasnia-wszystko-st9088518#fejk #fakenews #Haiti #Polska #PiłkaNożna

Za @jwildeboer tutaj -> https://social.wildeboer.net/@jwildeboer/116724691556079235 Lokalny sąd w Monachium (DE) orzekł, że Google ponosi odpowiedzialność za treść jej "streszczeń generowanych przez sztuczną inteligencję”. Sąd uznał odpowiedzialność za treści publikowane przez Google, stąd też ta firma ponosi konsekwencje, gdy jej działania prowadzą do powstania błędnych i szkodliwych stwierdzeń, tak jak miało to miejsce w tej sprawie. Argument Google, że firma jest w jakiś sposób zwolniona z odpowiedzialności, nie został uwzględniony. Musi usunąć błędne stwierdzenia i pokryć 80% kosztów.Zapewne teraz długa batalia odwoławcza. Polecam wątek.#AI #USA #Google #BigTech #kłamstwa #błędy

No, there aren’t “good people on both sides” when one side is commiting genocide.Good people do not commit genocide.Good people do not defend people who are commiting genocide.Good people are not complicit in genocide.You can do all of these things today with impunity because we live in a corrupt world that’s circling the drain of fascism. You can do all these things and feel safe, protected by a system built on settler colonialism – the beneficiary of past ethnic cleansings, apartheids, and genocides and run by its heirs.You can do all this but what you cannot do is call yourself a good person. Because you’re not.Opposing genocide isn’t a preference. It’s the lowest possible bar for humanity.

Wow, that's way heavier than I would have guessed.

Tonight's Low Quality Ad is for this Can't Even Think Straight Sticker. I'm not too familiar with how power scaling works in the gay community, but I imagine the inability to think straight thoughts must mean you are pretty high level.https://collabs.shop/31srg5

The reality is that social media bans weaponize parents’ concerns about children’s safety to justify unprecedented levels of surveillance and censorship. Our new primer breaks down why these bans don’t work, who is harmed by them, and how we fight back. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/06/how-and-why-fight-back-against-social-media-bans

Apple’s new AI can automatically change compromised passwords, but giving an agent control of account credentials introduces risks involving prompt injection, lockouts, consent, and compromised devices.

Apple’s new child safety features are “a step in the right direction” but aren’t foolproof, EFF’s @Thorin told CBS News - parents must understand how to use them, and there’s no magic bullet to fix everyone’s problems. https://www.cbsnews.com/video/apple-unveiling-new-child-safety-features-to-help-parents-navigate-screen-time/
