.@culturejedi debunks the secretive government surveillance program that tracks so-called 'Black Identity Extremists’ while linking it to their own family history. @mcsweeneys eff.org/deeplinks/2019…
“Too many people believe that civil and human rights violations...can’t happen in America. They either don’t know that they’ve been happening for centuries, or wrongly believe that those days are long over." @culturejedi in @mcsweeneys #BlackHistoryMonth eff.org/deeplinks/2019…
The Executive Director of @mediajustice, @culturejedi, traces the FBI's "high-tech surveillance of Black bodies" from the analog monitoring of their mother to the digital surveillance of the present. #BlackHistoryMonth eff.org/deeplinks/2019…

If you hate this, then you’ll love #FixItAlready. fixitalready.eff.org/facebook
We’re asking @facebook and eight other tech companies to take care of big, fix-able security and privacy problems on their platforms. fixitalready.eff.org
Facebook needs to #FixItAlready, before more people are put at risk. It should never have made phone numbers that were provided for security searchable by everyone.

Europe: What began as a bad idea has become an outright crisis for the future of the Internet as we know it: the #CopyrightDirective is headed for a final vote. There's never been a moment where your voice mattered more. #SaveOurInternet eff.org/deeplinks/2019…
Over four million Internet users have signed the petition against the Directive. Now, it's time to call your MEP directly and tell them #Article11 and #Article13 would be a catastrophe for free expression and competition online. SaveYourInternet.eu Text that reads: Article 13. They want you to believe that Article 13 is not about filtering content. #SaveYourInternet
Under #Article13, virtually every online community, platform, or forum will have to add copyright filters at a cost of millions.

Experts say this will turn the Internet into “a tool for the automated surveillance and control of its users.”

This was a potential danger to everyone. What Snowden proved is that if it exists someone can steal it. reason.com/blog/2019/03/0…
One of the unintended consequences of the US tech revolution is it built a surveillance infrastructure the Russians and Chinese never could have dreamed of creating. They're just piggy backing.
The Western State surveils everyone. The Chinese steal the data. China by transitivity, surveils everyone.

We are watching the oral argument in Mozilla v. FCC, the case that might decide the future of net neutrality in the US. uscourts.rev.vbrick.com/#/events/22070…
Plaintiff attorney Pantelis Michalopoulos points out that the FCC demanding fair behavior of ISPs is nothing new. “You will hear a lot about restoration of the past. This order does not restore anything except an imaginary past.”
Michalopoulos on the FCC's argument that an ISP is not a telecommunications service: “This is like a surrealist painting that shows a pipe and says ‘this is not a pipe’”

The @eff: “we are the leading nonprofit defending digital privacy”

Also @eff: “we’ve partnered with the world’s largest #SurveillanceCapitalist who makes billions violating your privacy to train people who make policies that defend your privacy—come be a Google Policy Fellow!”
@EFF Source: eff.org/deeplinks/2019…

This is institutional corruption at its worst.

Is anyone else sick of this bullshit?

Via @schestowitz
@EFF @schestowitz Following @eff’s recruitment drive for Google Policy Fellows, Greenpeace is seeking new Exxon Mobil Policy Fellows. Also, the American Lung Association is looking for new Philip Morris Policy Fellows.

Of course they’re not. Because they’re not bullshit.

1/ The City Council votes tomorrow on accepting over $425,000 in funds related to the Department of Homeland Security’s “Countering Violent Extremism” (CVE) program.

Here's why we are talking about CVE and demanding that the City Council keep #CVA out of Los Angeles!
About #CVE

2/ “Countering Violent Extremism” or CVE is an Islamophobic program created by the Department of Homeland Security to justify increased surveillance of Muslim communities, and therefore increase criminalization.
3/ CVE infiltrates Muslim communities disguised as “mental health support” and “social services” through K-12 school programs and partnerships with universities, organizations, and mosques/religious institutions.

CVE often takes the shape of grant money.

FIVE MONTHS IN JAIL WITHOUT BAIL. “Tried and failed to prosecute.”

“Balogun spoke to the Guardian this week in his first interview since he was released from prison after five months locked up and denied bail while US attorneys tried and failed to prosecute him...”
Here’s an earlier story from @ForeignPolicy (@guardian credits FP with breaking the story - where are Texas media??)
