Tech, privacy, surveillance, ACLU NorCal. On Mastodon at He/him. Views mine.
Imagine a different notice in the same place, that will look strangely familiar if you have used a computer.
Consider the following notice. It informs people that there is a dangerous condition, and it recommends quite strongly that they avoid the danger.
We at @aclu-norcal.bsky.social and @aclupa.org filed this motion to protect people exercising their First Amendment rights to speak out anonymously. These summonses are intolerable abuses of power by DHS. The court JUST ordered Meta not to reveal anything to DHS until further notice.
If you're going out to protest this weekend and wondering how to protect yourself from digital surveillance, @aclu-norcal.bsky.social has a video for you (featuring, yes, me). We draw heavily from @eff.org's fantastic Surveillance Self Defense resource, available here: ssd.eff.org/module/atten...
The legendary parking pass for Nobel Laureates is both immense and hilarious.
GREAT NEWS: Today the court in Santa Barbara granted the motion to quash, adopting reasoning in our amicus brief. The court recognized that, when the government seeks information impacting speech rights, a much higher showing is necessary.
