BREAKNG: Meta announces it will invest $1 billion in US cities and towns where it operates and is building AI data centers. That sum pales in comparison to the $600 billion Meta plans to spend on data centers through 2028. The company already has 160 data centers planned or under construction.

Ra'il I'Nasah Kiam co-founded YourSlipisShowing, which played a key role in anti-racist and antifascist organizing online. But his work, like that of so many Black trans organizers, was thoroughly erased — when the movement he helped found was even mentioned at all. This is his story:

Electronic Frontier Foundation@eff.org · 4w agoThe new CHATBOT Act doesn’t just require parental permission for teens to use AI. It requires AI companies to build monitoring systems that store and analyze entire conversations, creating new privacy risks for entire families. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...
AI systems threaten data privacy & security even if these systems lack an agentic component but AI agents possess the ability to manipulate a user’s digital systems autonomously & continuously, expanding threats that evade existing regulatory regimes. We wrote about it here: fftf.link/AISnitches

Despite the usual and continued insistence that KOSA protects kids, the duty of care enforced by a Trump FTC would be a censorship & surveillance nightmare.

Tech: KOSA heads to Senate floor
The Senate Commerce Committee sent the Kids Online Safety Act to the floor on Wednesday, alongside three other bills designed to protect kids and teens using technology.

🚨 KOSA UPDATE The added "duty of care" standard would force websites to identify minors to avoid legal risk, pushing the internet toward ID checks, facial scans, mass age-gating, excessive data collection and censorship FOR EVERYONE. Next comes a full Senate vote. Contact your senators NOW. (1/2)

Call your senators even if you think you have one that will not listen. Sacrificing everyone’s privacy is an incredibly high cost. Australia had a similar law that is already showing that it doesn’t protect kids. The idea that this protects kids is a Trojan horse for surveillance on the internet

Australia’s eSafety commissioner buried a report (released Friday afternoon) that shows the under 16 social media ban didn’t tangibly reduce teen social media use, and also resulted in parents tuning out of kids usage. We traded our privacy for no reason. theconversation.com/more-than-80...
More than 80% of kids still using social media despite ban, new eSafety report finds

KOSA is a censorship bill that won’t make kids safe. Instead, it'll put all internet users at risk, especially youth. If you believe in a free and open internet, tell your lawmakers to reject #KOSA!

@newsweek.com 's latest reporting highlights the grim reality we pointed out months ago as Congress gambled on all of our lives by providing even more funding to ICE. More body camera's = more opportunities for ICE to identify anyone they'd like to target. www.newsweek.com/ice-body-cam...
Body cameras won't stop ICE killing people
Perspective: ICE’s body-camera mandate may settle some disputes, but research shows video rarely changes behavior.
