Meet Rayhunter: A New Open Source Tool from EFF to Detect Cellular Spying
At EFF we spend a lot of time thinking about Street Level Surveillance technologies—the technologies used by police and other authorities to spy on you while you are going about your everyday life—suc...

Cell-site simulators (CSS, also known as Stingrays or IMSI catchers) are devices that masquerade as legitimate cell-phone towers, tricking phones within a certain radius into connecting to the device rather than a tower. Our new tool, Rayhunter, can help you find them.

Webloc is a tool that can track the location of millions of people's phones. Tangles is social media investigation and linking software. ICE wants this software so they can spy on anyone they want to. This is a crucial part of ICE's domestic intelligence operation.

I wasn’t on the East Coast in NY so I’m surprised as hell to see so much of what I felt on 9/11—and so much of what came after—in this exquisite piece by @soleilho.com.
“To me, 9/11 is so much about a nation that performed innocence and hurt while becoming crasser, deadlier, and more terrified of its own shadow.”
This @coyotemedia.org piece by @soleilho.com is a must read. As in, I’ve read it 4x.

The Milo stuff is the perfect picture of fascism. You think you're protected because you go as big as you can on racism, you spend years harassing the movement's perceived enemies, you even disavow your own sexuality.

I'm not happy about this Meta settlement. It does nothing to address the surveillance business model which is at the core of the harms caused by meta. Instead it subjects billions to age gating and restricts the speech and privacy of teens even further.
