Very concerning: An Israeli Company Is Hawking Its Self-Launching Drone System to US-Police Departments. A Louisiana sheriff’s department has been testing the drone system, which is already used by Israeli police & many settlements. There’s a documented history of US-Israel security tech exchanges, which civil rights & racial justice advocates have long criticized for contributing to the militarization of the police: #Surveillance#PoliceState#Racism#Droneshttps://theintercept.com/2024/05/17/israel-orione-drone-us-police-louisiana/
@KimPerales none of them believe in the constitution or our rights to privacy. Let’s go back to doing some real criminal legwork. Stop being so lazy and infringing on our rights.

A USG cybersecurity official has broken ranks from his agency & publicly revealed that attackers have repeatedly tracked the physical location of ppl inside the US using vulnerabilities in the backbone of the world’s telecommunications cellular INFRA in recent years.
The comments from the CISA official are highly unusual in that they provide an unvarnished assessment of the threat posed by such attacks on telecom NWKs-. #Cybersecurity
AAA was who I just went through a 2 month wrassle trying to get my used van insured. They dismissed me out of hand, with the people making the decision never letting me know who they were although they got access to LOTS of data about me. No accountability.
Remember you can fight things & if we don't fight things, they tend to get worse. Remember you can not just complain to AAA, but if you're in CA you can complain to the Insurance Commissioner
Est-ce que ça craint que je répertories les cameras de surveillance de ma ville sur #openstreetmap? Il y en a énormément, je sais que la flamme olympique passe ces prochains mois mais là c’est OVERKILL #surveillance#OSM
Today ORG joined Big Brother Watch, 38degrees, Organise and other groups to deliver a 270,000+ strong petition to 10 Downing Street.
