The Growing Impact of far-Right Media & Conspiracies on Fusion Centers https://itsgoingdown.org/the-growing-far-right-impact-on-fusion-centers/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter

Reposting this tidbit out of context because its a good point and context isn’t necessary.

Because it wasn’t anarchists who nuked Japan, or killed the Jews, or murdered the kulaks, or instituted Jim Crow laws, Anarchists weren’t behind Tuskegee or literally any mass atrocity committed in history. Anarchists didn’t start the world worlds, they didn’t re-paint the middle east, they didn’t make owning weed a prison offence, and they didn’t murder George Floyd. Statists did that. “But it’ll be different THIS time!” is the real absurdity.

Thanks to the tireless efforts of activists and organizations in Massachusetts and around the country, including EFF, this week Boston joins the ranks of cities that have banned government use of face surveillance. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2020/06/victory-boston-bans-government-use-face-surveillance

A data broker used protestors' cell phone information without their knowledge to release demographic estimates of recent protests against police violence. This is a huge invasion of privacy and yet another reason why we need robust data protection laws. https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/carolinehaskins1/protests-tech-company-spying

The law says all police training materials in California are supposed to be published online. But @CommissionPOST is allowing the people who train police on use of force and surveillance technology to claim copyright to block publication.
