His mom says Jovanny (the name he went by) had lived in Plainfield NJ about 20 years. She says he had a work permit and was headed for work when he was detained in June. She says his 12 year old daughter can’t eat or sleep.

Disincentivizing widely-used online services from offering strong encryption. During a war with Iran. A country that's been conducting cyber operations against U.S. targets for years. That's what both parties think belongs in the NATIONAL DEFENSE BILL.

There's another effort to break encryption in the US Senate! The STOP CSAM Act was added to the current version of the annual defense spending bill, known as the NDAA. If passed, it could require Internet infrastructure services and online platforms to break encryption to scan all data.

Excited to visit the Gutenberg Museum MOVED tomorrow. They’re building a new museum, the old building was unsuited to exhibiting the museum’s treasures, so there’s a temporary museum in the Natural History Museum.

It looks like Tom Malinowski is going to win the NJ primary election to be the Dem candidate to replace Mikie Sherrill. I voted for him, mostly because I got so much anonymous attack mail against him that i thought: if the big money hates him; he must be good!

It's nice to read NYT opeds on tech policy issues from people who actually understand the nuances and ins-and-outs of tech policy, rather than the usual crowd of moral panic "but but do something!" folks. That is to say, this is good:

I have an op-ed in the NYT today about the Grok scandal, sharing my research from last year finding that legal risk hinders AI companies from making their models safer against CSAM - an echo of the years where white-hat hackers were chilled from good-faith research. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/12/o...

This morning my ChatGPT quota was inexplicably exhausted. It took a while but I pieced it together. Voice mode somehow got activated when I went to bed. The bot then engaged in a 10 hour conversation with my snoring dog, answering questions the pup wasn’t asking and praising him for his insight.

Personal Note: As of today, I am officially "Acting Executive Director" of Project Gutenberg. PG's President and CEO, Greg Newby, is very ill and does not have the energy to do all the things that keep Project Gutenberg running. This is a big responsibility for me and it's going to be a lot of work.

It is so important that we stay engaged and get people ready to vote this November. New Jersey needs a leader like Mikie Sherrill who will stand up to Trump and fight for working families. Be sure to tune in to tonight’s debate! mikiesherrill.com/debate
