Deployment of lethal force via robots “definitely marks a new level of possible violence meted out by law enforcement, so it’s incredibly important that we have this conversation,” EFF’s Beryl told FORTUNE. fortune.com/2023/02/04/kil…

Through public records requests, EFF found that the police agencies shared license plate data with out-of-state agencies — sensitive information about where people live, work or seek reproductive health services and other medical care. sacbee.com/news/politics-…

Arkansas lawmakers want to rush out changes to the state’s FOIA law that erode transparency without public review. The public’s right to know demands more. Arkansas should reject amendments to the state public records law. eff.org/deeplinks/2023…

Have you had a ridiculous interaction with a FOIA office this year? Consider submitting it to The Foilies, and it could be recognized nationally for its absurdity. muckrock.com/news/archives/…

Residents must understand "this is not simply a registry of cameras for law enforcement reference but an extensive system of data collection that requires clear policies & processes for use, data retention, & audits,” EFF’s Beryl told 404 Media. 404media.co/fusus-ai-camer…

Accidents happen, and when the police are involved, civilians can be left to handle the costs and consequences on their own. This is great reporting and an awesome initiative from David Robinson, Democrat & Chronicle, and the team from USA TODAY NETWORK New York and Newhouse School.

A very happy #SunshineWeek to everyone, especially this year's Foilies winners! May they each celebrate by reflecting on the ways they've failed to perform their civic duties and by resolving to be better tomorrow.

Please show up tonight for my stellar colleagues from the Democrat & Chronicle. Strong local journalism is essential to strong communities. SHAME ON 👎 Gannett 👎 for extreme dawdling and disrespectful dealings with Newspaper Guild of Rochester, an affront to the Rochester community and local news.

(3/3) I’ve spent the past two years of my life interning with Gannett and learning from these journalists. Without them, I would not be the person I am today. Their work is vital to this community and their voices matter. #unionstrong Newspaper Guild of Rochester

NJ politicians want extensive rollbacks of the state's public records law, #OPRA. These include obstacles to recouping legal costs for requesters forced to take noncompliant agencies to court. They also want text messages and emails to be less accessible. northjersey.com/story/opinion/…

Thanks to new records spotted by @BINJ, we now know more about the current generation of cell-site simulators being used by law enforcement. eff.org/deeplinks/2024…

Cell-site simulators are fishing with a net: people in the vicinity are caught in their widespread data collection, even those who have not been involved with a crime. eff.org/deeplinks/2024…

NEWS: This morning our members unanimously ratified a new two-year contract, our first since 2019. It comes after more than two years of negotiations with NewsGuild of New York and a 19-day strike in April, the first in our history. ✊✊✊

If you're a grassroots group fighting for privacy and civil liberties in the digital space or calling for protections against government surveillance in our public ones, consider joining the EFA.

With companies in cahoots with the government to track, profile, and network map everyone (yes, each one of you), what's the worst that could happen? 🤷🏻‍♀️
