A blurred face isn't hidden—it's degraded. But AI trained to recover a signal from noise is good at restoring what's been degraded. @witnessorg's shirin anlen and HRW’s Gabi Ivens explain why we must trade the cosmetic blur for structural anonymization to protect people ⤵️ techpolicy.press/ai-can-rebu…

Scoop: A Google director resigned over the company's AI deal with the Pentagon for classified work. "I am quite sad that it had to come to this, and desperately hope Google management re-discovers its moral compass," he wrote in a letter circulated internally

AI for the poor, actual human teachers for the rich. This is a class issue and we need to recognise it as such, in order to fight this effectively in schools. The rich wouldn’t accept this for their own kids!

This is what the UK spyware proposal means. There must be government spyware on every mobile device. It shall watch everything that happens, including always watching the screen, looking for things the government disapproves of. When anything is flagged by the software as something the government doesn't like, the software must block it from being sent or displayed (in realtime). The user of the device must not be able to shut this watching and blocking off. The only way to shut it off would be to ask the government or its proxies to do so for you, at their discretion. Therefore the whole device must be locked down. Administrator rights and the decision of what software or operating system to run or not to run must be taken from the owner/user and handed to the government and its proxies. Apple and Google are themselves working hard to lock down the devices they are involved in to shut out competition and establish a duopoly. The UK government says it is "working closely" with Apple and Google and currently they synchronise and coordinate their communication on this subject. The UK government is now proposing to mandate what would otherwise be illegal anti-competitive practices. @GrapheneOS on the Apple and Google duopoly: x.com/GrapheneOS/status/2053… Statement from @signalapp x.com/signalapp/status/20640… @ReclaimTheNetHQ on the state spyware: reclaimthenet.org/starmer-ca… The government announcement: gov.uk/government/news/new-p…

Our statement on the UK government’s demand that all content on all devices sold or used in the country be scanned, on the presumption of nudity, using a dystopian combination of age verification and content scanning. This proposal will not safeguard children. It endangers us all. signal.org/blog/pdfs/2026-06…

@Microsoft , sham investigations won't save you from accountability! After 9 months of radio silent "investigation” into the Israeli military's use of Azure in Gaza, Microsoft released a "final update”. Read our statement at noaa.cc/statement/microsoft-… [1/6]

Exclusive: All English and Welsh police forces are to hand the US tech giant Palantir a multimillion-pound contract to run the national firearms database, just weeks after a contract between the company and the country’s largest force was blocked 👇

If a business model works only because it evades workers’ rights, it's an argument for regulation, not against it. @a_bacci & I wrote about AI, gig work, & why govts negotiating a new @ilo standard need to act before exploitation becomes the blueprint: fpif.org/ai-runs-the-global-…
