EFF’s @irmck.bsky.social talked with the @washingtonexaminer.bsky.social about the post-9/11 tension between national security threats and robbing Americans of their privacy. “Just because we’re afraid of one thing doesn’t mean we should ignore the threat of the other thing.”

Government surveillance after 9/11 is a hotter debate than ever
Technology, the internet, and measures taken against terrorism have enabled much deeper tracking of Americans than was conceived in 2001.

The San Diego Islamic Centre shooting was not an isolated act of hate. It was part of a far-right “curriculum of violence,” where attackers study, cite, and try to outdo one another. My new piece for @theconversation.com theconversation.com/the-san-dieg...

The San Diego Islamic Centre shooting is part of a far-right curriculum of violence
The mass shooting at an Islamic centre in San Diego is the latest in a self-replicating network of far-right violence in which each attack is designed to inspire the next.

It will be hard to enforce this new ban on foreign drones, but I can also imagine MAGA using it as leverage over anyone they don’t like. Consider the prospect of a reporter or activist (or anyone else) being accused by the Trump admin of “importing and using illegal Chinese surveillance drones.”
