BREAKING: The DOJ has released extensive new material from the Mueller Report in a filing from @EPICprivacy & @JasonLeopold's FOIA case.

(Unfortunately for readability, it's listed out of context—no reprocessed version of the actual report just yet.)

This spreadsheet was initially filed under seal in response to line-by-line questions from Judge Walton, who is reviewing the unredacted report.

The third column over ("Redaction") contains the material that DOJ is no long withholding.
Wow—striking excerpt here from page 21 of Volume 1 that appears to describe an Internet Research Agency (Russian government) document about sowing distrust in the 2016 presidential election.

We've posted another batch of records from @EPICprivacy's FOIA case against the National Security Commission on #AI (@AiCommission). A couple of interesting highlights (thread).

epic.org/foia/epic-v-ai…
First is a rather eye-popping presentation about using "psychology and AI" to "help prepare an AI-enabled workforce." (As the Commission is quick to note, it came from a third party—not an NSCAI work product.)

epic.org/foia/epic-v-ai…
The presentation lauds the use of AI job screening tools like HireVue and says that "reducing time-to-hire is as important as making good decisions."

(Of course that's one of many problems with HireVue that EPIC has raised: there's little assurance it's making good decisions.)

Thread: There's a remarkable back-and-forth about predictive policing and racial profiling in today’s Fourth Circuit ruling from United States v. Curry.

Opinion here: ca4.uscourts.gov/opinions/18423… Image
The en banc court ruled 9-6 that the 4th Amendment’s exigent circumstances doctrine did not permit police to conduct a suspicionless stop/pat-down of defendant Billy Curry, who was simply walking near the scene of a shooting in Richmond. Order suppressing evidence affirmed. ImageImage
Judge Wilkinson, in dissent, argues that the majority's decision "deliver[s] a gut-punch to predictive policing" techniques, including the "hot spot policing" that Richmond PD relied on in its response to the shooting. ImageImageImage

BREAKING: DOJ releases new material from the Mueller Report as part of @EPICprivacy & @JasonLeopold's FOIA lawsuits. The disclosure marks the first new release since the Apr 2019 publication of the redacted report.

Vol. 1: justice.gov/storage/report…

Vol. 2: justice.gov/storage/report…
The newly disclosed passages pertain to Roger Stone. DOJ claimed that releasing this material would interfere with Stone's trial, but @EPICprivacy & @JasonLeopold recently urged the DOJ to reprocess the report now that trial court proceedings have ended.

epic.org/foia/doj/muell…
Important note: this is not the last word on the Mueller Report. Judge Reggie B. Walton is currently reviewing the unredacted report and is expected to decide as early as next month on whether more material must be released.
