5G hype ignores the fact that rural and low-income Americans are already left behind when it comes to accessing affordable high-speed broadband. @NBCNews explains - nbcnews.com/video/will-5g-…
Policymakers need to aggressively promote fiber for all Americans in order to end the digital divide. Otherwise the future of high-speed broadband access will be a monopoly.
eff.org/deeplinks/2018…
5G is being aggressively marketed in policy circles because it provides a useful distraction from the fundamental fact that the United States market is missing out on fiber's affordable prices and extraordinary advancements.

But local communities don't have to wait—they can and should create their own high-speed community broadband access. eff.org/deeplinks/2018…

William Barr, President Trump's latest nominee for Attorney General, was an architect of the modern surveillance state. aclu.org/blog/national-…
As AG in '92, Barr approved a DEA surveillance program to collect records of all US phone calls to a long list of foreign countries. The "collect it all" approach laid the groundwork for the NSA's mass phone record surveillance program revealed by @Snowden eff.org/deeplinks/2015…
Although much of the program architected by Barr was deemed illegal by the Justice Department, it continued for decades. In 2015, we sued to stop to make sure the program had ceased and its records were destroyed.

Once again, Facebook has put its profits over our privacy. nytimes.com/2018/12/18/tec…
Facebook should not be sharing users' private data with its business partners without users' knowledge and freely-given, specific, unambiguous consent.
This latest revelation underscores the need to strengthen data privacy laws in California and elsewhere to ensure users can hold companies accountable, and to resist efforts in Congress to preempt state data privacy protections.

The @SFChronicle's Editorial Board agrees: California's blanket collection and retention of genetic profiles from people arrested but never convicted of any crime is enormously overbroad sfchronicle.com/opinion/editor…
"[I]n a system where people are still innocent until proved guilty, there is just no legitimate reason for the state to collect and store the DNA profiles of people whose only infraction was being arrested and booked into jail." sfchronicle.com/opinion/editor…
The state's failure to automatically expunge DNA samples and profiles from the hundreds of thousands of Californians who were not ultimately convicted of a crime is unconstitutional, and we're suing to end it. eff.org/press/releases…

#Khashoggi Case Thread: I am going to ‘pin’ this post to use it as an ‘Info Thread’ on the #Khashoggi Case. I am in #Turkey. I’ve been following the case closely and with access to sources & experts here. This is a very ‘sensitive’ criminal case due to ‘Diplomatic Booby Traps’!!!
The Evidence Obtained Outside Cameras will not show any evidence of ‘tempering’ but other than license plates of dozens of diplomatic cars (Many with tinted windows-large trunks) with related time stamp, drivers Info, model/year: Nothing.
#Turkish Intel-Investigative Bodies also have the list of all Diplomatic & Private Saudi & “other significant’ Planes in #Turkey for the period of ‘interest.’ Many of the Target airports have their own security cameras & related evidence.

Nunes: Declassifying the 20 Redacted Pages Will Reveal @PeteStrzok's 'Insurance Policy' - And We Will Be Shocked pjmedia.com/video/nunes-de… #Video via @pjmedia_com
"It'll be the 20 pages of the last FISA that was approved on Carter Page, which will have basically everything ... of what we think the American people need to understand that this is actually the insurance policy that was talked about in the Strzok/Page texts"
"A lot of people think that the insurance policy was getting a FISA warrant on Carter Page. We actually believe it was more explicit than that," Nunes continued.

WASHINGTON, D.C.—On Monday, July 2, FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr visited the
University of Virginia Health System in Charlottesville, Virginia. Dr. Karen Rheuban, an expert in telehealth, hosted Commissioner Carr at UVA.
The visit focused on how high-
speed broadband networks increase access to and lower the cost of healthcare, especially in
rural and low-income areas that often lack the same access to affordable healthcare options
as those living in other parts of the country.
