There is no technology that is safe for law enforcement to use, because law enforcement is fundamentally at odds with safety.
“The technology is simply too dangerous for law enforcement to be using at all,” EFF’s @adamdschwartz.bsky.social told @actionnewsjax.com. “More than a dozen innocent people have been arrested by police because of errors with face recognition.” www.actionnewsjax.com/news/local/...

Today once again proved that everyday citizens protesting their government are braver than the titans who own the largest media corporations, run the biggest law firms and lead the most powerful technology companies.

Privacy isn't something we should have to earn.
Millions of law-abiding Texans shouldn't have their movements cataloged just because the technology exists.
Let's put Texans before surveillance.

So we just accept this then? This is a legitimate use of technology going forward? This vile individual's account is just prompt after prompt asking Al to alter real-life images of women. The law needs to catch up with technology now - because we can't trust these tech companies to police themselves

Airbus is putting its data beyond America's reach. They will run on Scaleway, a French provider, instead.
A US law lets American authorities request data held by US firms, including data stored in servers outside the country.
Europe is slowly trying to lean less on American technology.

Sorry for the delayed update, but the bill has passed! 🎉🎉🎉
It will go into effect in August. this really is the first law in the US explicitly prohibiting the technology/service of AI nudification/deepfake pornography.
Would love to see this as a model nationwide

One thing I've found in the law and AI debates is that the people who are the most bullish about how AI will transform law are not the people who understand either the field of law or the function of the technology very well.
Often, they're people who think law is mechanical.
It's so not.

Presumably to support an argument to the benefit of a client. Obviously having a weak citation is less than ideal, but isn’t that how it goes sometimes? Or are all these losing cases out there built on something else?

Law is a technology, and it has saved easily as many lives as antibiotics.
Like, in a very elemental anthropological way, we have laws for a reason, and it's because people won't tolerate it otherwise
The solution to blood feuds was never "well you should just not get so mad when someone you love is murdered." It was the law, it was justice

the uvalde cop scum were acquitted because the law favors cop scum, and while i do respect and value the rule of law, if this is where it ends, either the law is going to have to change or our acceptance of the law is going to have to change, and you do not need a telescope to see the danger here

A new California law says all operating systems, including Linux, need to have some form of ID verification (which they’re calling age verification) at account setup.
This makes absolutely ZERO sense if you have even the most basic understanding of technology

An upcoming California law requires operating system providers to enforce basic mandatory age verification
It's basic, and by the looks of it, near unenforceable.

So much of the technology around law enforcement is bullshit built to confirm “hunches”
Bite mark analysis has no basis in science, experts now say. But it is still being used in court. "It's garbage," said Keith Harward, who spent 33 years in prison for rape and murder based on bite mark evidence before DNA exonerated him.
