@webhat @alice A lot of the moral argument against automated checkouts depends on a neoliberal austerity model where chatting with the cashier is the only form of social contact some people get, and it is accepted as Morally Wrong that society should provide them with more funded by the Hardworking Taxpayer. I.e., the Market accidentally provides universal basic social connection, which is under threat from improved efficiencies, so they must be stopped.

That the government wants all EZ Lynk users' information “raises questions about why they want this data and what they're going to use it for beyond the prosecution of this case,” EFF’s @aaronmackey told Forbes. https://www.forbes.com/sites/thomasbrewster/2026/05/14/government-demands-apple-and-google-identify-over-100000-users-of-car-app/

Policymakers are legislating blanket bans on social media based on evidence that would be rejected in any other field of public health. Before imposing these draconian measures, they must listen to the experts sounding the alarm on oversimplified conclusions. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/05/science-not-settled-how-weak-evidence-fueling-national-push-ban-social-media-youth

VPNs don’t put people in danger–in fact they can help protect people from harm– but Article 226-A of Brazil’s Bill 3066/2025 treats this standard security tool as equivalent to a weapon. https://www.poder360.com.br/opiniao/protecao-infantil-erra-ao-penalizar-ferramentas-de-seguranca-digital/

The NO FAKES Act is “still rife with problems,” EFF’s @cmcsherr told Bloomberg Law. The penalty for false notices “lacks teeth,” and the bill remains “a recipe for over-broad enforcement that will sweep up all kinds of lawful content.” https://news.bloomberglaw.com/artificial-intelligence/youtube-others-struggle-to-fight-deepfakes-as-law-lags-behind

Hello All, Due to the incredibly irresponsible disclosure of a security vulnerability for Piefed, we’ve had to take Piefed.zip offline until a fix can be put in place. I’ll update more once I have more information. Many thanks Demigodrick

Police using face recognition technology are prioritizing low-level crimes over privacy rights, EFF’s Beryl Lipton told The Nevada Independent. We don't want a society "where we expect that just because we went into public, a police officer is going to get to know… or be able to search that in real time." https://thenevadaindependent.com/article/sparks-is-using-facial-recognition-to-fight-shoplifting-is-the-tech-going-too-far

Za WSzewko:"Premier Hiszpanii Sanchez: Ci, którzy uważają, że powiewanie flagą państwa (Palestyny) to „podżeganie do nienawiści”, albo stracili rozum, albo zostali oślepieni przez własną hańbę. Lamine wyraził jedynie solidarność z Palestyną, którą czują miliony Hiszpanów. Kolejny powód, by być z niego dumnym."Lamine Yamal machał flagą palestyńską podczas parady zwycięstwa Barcelony, świętującej zdobycie tytułu mistrza LaLiga.Fotka od: @jdnalton.bsky.social #Palestyna #Hiszpania #LaLiga #piłkanożna

Ciekawa interpelacja w Sejmie RP, a wśród pytań:"6. Czy Ministerstwo Cyfryzacji rozważa utworzenie rządowej instancji platformy #Mastodon, wzorem rozwiązań wdrożonych przez Komisję Europejską, Niemcy i Holandię, jako oficjalnego kanału komunikacji administracji państwowej, zmniejszającego uzależnienie od komercyjnych platform społecznościowych? Jeśli tak, to kiedy? Jeśli nie, to z jakich powodów?" Ja myślę, że w końcu powstanie, a Wy?Co nie znaczy, że politycy odejdą z X.Całość:https://sejm.gov.pl/Sejm10.nsf/InterpelacjaTresc.xsp?key=DTEBLS
