If technology is used against you in court, you have a right to see how the technology works and whether it's reliable. That's why EFF is going to court in Fresno, California later this week. https://www.eff.org/press/releases/hearing-wednesday-can-criminal-defendants-review-dna-analysis-software-used-prosecute

A TV production company made Twitter delete a tweet pointing at an article about a leak of unreleased TV shows. Then @EFF tweeted about those events, and the production company made Twitter take that down too: https://u.fsf.org/2t4

it's worth thinking about the design of the WhatsApp exploit - did NSO get inspiration from the January FaceTime bug? Be sure to update or (better) switch to Signal, Wire, @matrix, Jitsi Meet, or Jami/GNU Ring.

The Seventh Circuit had a powerful opportunity to protect travelers' privacy rights. They missed it. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2019/05/seventh-circuit-dodges-opportunity-protect-travelers-invasive-border-searches

San Francisco: Use of face recognition technology by law enforcement chills free speech, exacerbates biased policing, and threatens to fundamentally change how we exist in public spaces. Take action now. Support the Stop Secret Surveillance Ordinance. https://act.eff.org/action/san-francisco-it-s-time-to-stop-secret-surveillance-programs-in-our-city-d9a14dda-467d-4950-bff6-b6c6ea6732b9

FCC Commissioner @GeoffreyStarks is 100% correct in speaking out about the vulnerability in our cell phone networks.

As EFF's @cooperq wrote in @nytimes, we must fix the security vulnerabilities in SS7 and end 2G support to help secure our communications. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/26/opinion/cellphones-security-spying.html https://twitter.com/GeoffreyStarks/status/1126503259592634368
