Piece of advice: don’t try regulating porn on the internet when you don’t have a strong understanding how the internet itself works.

Government agents shouldn’t be allowed to rifle through your computer and phone for no other reason than you traveled internationally.

EFF has compiled public records from 89 law enforcement agencies across California to demonstrate how automated license plate readers collect an immense amount of data, most of which will never be relevant in an investigation.https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2021/04/data-driven-2-california-dragnet-new-dataset-shows-scale-vehicle-surveillance …

New data shows that in some parts of California, the average vehicle will be scanned by an automated license plate reader every few miles. Tiburon Police, for example, averaged one plate scan for every 1.85 miles driven.https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2021/04/data-driven-2-california-dragnet-new-dataset-shows-scale-vehicle-surveillance …
