    Section 1201(a) of the DMCA turned the right to make fair uses into a privilege that you have to beg for in advance. That’s why we sued the government over it.

    We've learned this lesson before. Maybe we should just call it the Amazon Ring Hypothesis: Absent strict protections, any sensors that collect data and footage about people will eventually become a tool of police surveillance--even self-driving cars.

    When the state legislature refused to defund Maine's fusion center, they let the fusion center audit itself. Maine activists didn’t trust that, so they produced their own report highlighting the center’s attacks on privacy and free expression:

    Security expert 's trial hearing is taking place this week in Ecuador. Bini’s testimony about yesterday’s session is deeply problematic and reaffirms concerns about a prosecution based on misconceptions of the information security community.

    Today the trial against me reached a new level of bizarre, when the prosecutor literally implied I was a criminal for wearing a black hat. And no, I’m not exaggerating. And no, the prosecutor wasn’t joking in any way. This reality is too insane to be fiction.
