Content-based interventions at the infrastructure level often cause collateral damage that disproportionately harms less powerful groups. That’s why EFF and 56 global organizations are calling on technology companies to “Protect the Stack”.

We don’t think San Franciscans want to live in a city where police have the ability to arm robots with bombs—in any circumstances. Tell the SF supervisors not to approve this policy. eff.org/deeplinks/2022

“I suppose all of this can be summarized as whether we want to live in a world in which police can kill people remotely with robots,” @elizabeth_joh said. “I’m not sure we do.” nytimes.com/2022/11/30/us/

Privacy includes our right to control our data. Companies violate this right when they harvest & monetize our data but fail to securely store it, leading to data breach. Standing to sue rests on this privacy harm, w/o having to also prove economic harm.

A company harvested your personal data, but failed to take basic steps to secure it. So thieves stole it. Now you’ve lost control of your data, and you’re at greater risk of identity theft. But when

Eight San Francisco supervisors recently voted to approve a policy that would allow police to arm robots with bombs. Thankfully, three opposed this dangerous idea. There’s still time to tell the others not to move forward: eff.org/deeplinks/2022

Today’s vote approving the SFPD’s dystopian military equipment policy—which will allow SFPD to use robots to kill people—is deeply disturbing. This is a sad moment for our City, and it shows how far we have strayed from the 2020 reckoning on police violence. Here's my statement.

San Francisco supervisors seem not only willing to approve dangerously broad language about when police may deploy robots equipped with explosives, but also willing to smear those who dare to question its possible misuses. Tell them this is not ok: eff.org/deeplinks/2022

A draft policy set to be voted on next week would cement SFPD's authority to use robots for lethal force. “This is not normal,” said civil rights attorney Tifanei Moyer. “No legal professional or ordinary resident should carry on as if it is normal.” missionlocal.org/2022/11/killer
