#BroadbandForAll is not only about online connectivity but it's also a job creator! It's a needed solution across sectors that impacts our health, education, jobs, and even remote family visits with elders. @CAGovernor @Rendon63rd @SenToniAtkins @NancySkinnerCA #BroadbandCantWait
In California, Gov. Newsom proposed $7B for broadband that the legislature should vote into action now to start closing the digital divide. We don't have time to waste anymore. #BroadbandForAll #CABudget #BroadbandCantWait @CAGovernor @Rendon63rd @SenToniAtkins @NancySkinnerCA
Sacramento set aside $7B to build high capacity broadband infrastructure for all, but might vote tomorrow to "think it over." CA's largest 5 foundations @calfund @TSFF @siliconvalleycf @sd_fdn @eastbaycf support entire investment w/out delay #BroadbandForAll #BroadbandCantWait
13 mayors of CA's largest cities support moving fwd with $7B. RT if you agree w/ putting $7B for vote & into action NOW. #SanJose #LA #SanDiego #SF #Fresno #Sacramento #LongBeach #Oakland #Bakersfield #Anaheim #SantaAna #Riverside #Stockton #Broadbandforall

At last, we've got the option to make our friends list private in @Venmo. Here's how to lock down your account, in 8 quick steps:

1: Tap the three lines in the top right corner, select Settings near the bottom. From the settings screen, select Privacy, then Friends List.
2: The settings will look like this by default. Change the privacy setting to Private. If you do not wish to appear in your friends’ own friends lists—after all, they may not set theirs to private—click the toggle off at the bottom. The final result should look like this.
3: Back on the Privacy settings page, make sure your Default privacy settings look like this: set your default privacy option for all future payments to Private.

Colombia's #ParoNacional protests have highlighted main concerns for protecting the ability to use technology and the internet to speak up and organize.

@CIDH’s visit to Colombia to observe human rights violations must also consider these restrictions. web.karisma.org.co/una-peticion-p…
.@Karisma and other groups have pointed to three urgent concerns:
1: The official narrative criminalizing those who protest online as “digital vandals” carrying out “digital terrorism" nacla.org/news/2021/05/1…
2: The use of technical and legal capacities to block Internet access and protest-related content netblocks.org/reports/intern…

We are calling on the California legislature to approve Governor Newsom's just-announced $7 billion investment in public broadband infrastructure, which would give California one of the largest public broadband fiber networks in the country. eff.org/deeplinks/2021…
Laying infrastructure like this brings terabits of broadband capacity to unserved and underserved communities throughout the state. This plan will dramatically lower the cost to the communities themselves, who are in charge of developing their own, locally appropriate plans.
As we’ve noted in the past, national private ISPs have proven themselves unwilling to tackle the rural and low-income urban fiber challenge. It is time to embrace local options.

Along with @ACLU, we have asked the Supreme Court to hear our challenge to the @DHSgov practice of warrantless and suspicionless searches of travelers’ electronic devices at international airports and other ports of entry. This case is years in the making: eff.org/press/releases…
In Riley v. California (2014), a landmark victory for digital privacy, the U.S. Supreme Court held that the Fourth Amendment requires police officers to get a warrant before searching the cell phones of arrestees. eff.org/document/amicu…
In Riley, the Court reasoned that we have extraordinary privacy interests in the massive amount of sensitive information we carry in our cell phones. caselaw.findlaw.com/us-supreme-cou…

What happens to FOIA requests that go unanswered?
They get nominated for our Golden Raspberry-style "awards" for officials who stand in the way of government transparency and freedom of information.

Here are the winners of this year's Foilies: eff.org/deeplinks/2021…
For the first time we're giving an award to a dog! When @twocatsand_docs asked whether Conan, the canine injured in a raid against the Islamic State, was a boy or a girl, the Defense Department could neither confirm nor deny the dog’s gender. eff.org/deeplinks/2021… A drawing of a dog jumping through the air.

Another faux award goes out to the U.S. State Department for refusing to release records about former Sec. Pompeo's preferred sandwiches and pizza toppings. eff.org/deeplinks/2021…
