We can stop the #KillerRobots. Tell your supervisors today that you don't want to live in a San Francisco where police have robots that use deadly force. eff.org/deeplinks/2022

San Francisco's decision to allow killer robots on the street is dangerous and genuinely terrifying, especially for vulnerable communities who have historically been discriminated against by law enforcement. twitter.com/aclu_norcal/st…

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

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.

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.
