It looks like Apple is finally going to allow third-party app stores, which is a pretty big win. Why are they doing it? Upcoming EU requirements.

btw this is what happens when you try to engage earnestly with this whole spectacle. Stamos and others have been talking about a real framework for Musk to offer mod transparency (even some of Musk's informal advisors have been talking w/ Stamos abt it) but this is the response:

One thing that I have found on Twitter that I can't seem to find anywhere else is insight into how people in marginalized groups I don't belong to talk to each other when I'm not around.

Apple has finally killed its ill-conceived plan to scan photos for CSAM. This is a direct result of work by experts and activists. Speaking up is important and sometimes we win.

I hope that Meta actually listens to the Oversight Board and overhauls X-Check, because this is an important point.
Quote Tweet
While Meta told the Board that cross-check aims to advance Meta’s human rights commitments, we found that the program appears more directly structured to satisfy business concerns.

Does anyone actually know anything about this case or have links to the filing? Because there is not enough in this super vague article to figure it out and my opinions depend very much on the goddamn facts.

Replying to @evacide
EFF was an organisation that I have followed for many years , people infiltrated that org, and changed everything it stood for.
You are the product of it.

This change is a direct result of grassroots activism and protest. If you live in San Francisco, get out there and hold your Supervisor accountable for their vote.

I'm grateful to all who've expressed concerns with our vote authorizing SFPD to use robots to kill suspects in extreme circumstances. Despite my own deep concerns with the policy, I voted for it after additional guardrails were added.
I regret it. I will vote no tomorrow. 1/4

This is your regular reminder that Team "You're Overreacting" was never arguing in good faith and also they were very wrong.

This is our new #prolife dystopia: A woman was arrested for "chemical endangerment" for using drugs while pregnant. The problem: She wasn't pregnant. So officers released her, but told her if she gets pregnant IN THE NEXT FEW MONTHS she'll be re-arrested.

Effectively punishing bad actors in this space has proven to be very difficult. I hope that lawsuits like this one can show us the way forward.

The fight against authorizing the use of deadly force via robots by the SFPD isn't over yet. There is one vote left. If you live in SF, you can use this Action Alert to tell your Supervisor to vote "no."
