🚨 The STOP CSAM Act has been attached to the NDAA 🚨

Shenanigans! The NDAA is a "must-pass" bill, so this is an attempt to sneak STOP CSAM through without a vote on it.

Still, it's far from over; Senate Democrats blocked this version of the NDAA for other reasons, so there may still be a chance to strip things out. And, once the Senate passes something, there will be cross-chamber negotiations.

EFF's Oppose STOP CSAM: Protecting Kids Shouldn’t Mean Breaking the Tools That Keep Us Safe and The Internet Society's STOP CSAM Act Threatens Everyone’s Online Safety and Security have more on the problems with this bill.

EFF has an action on the STOP CSAM Act from 2025 that's still very relevant, it just needs some minor tweaking. It doesn't mention the NDAA, so I just changed the first paragraph to

"As your constituent, I urge you to oppose the attachment of the STOP CSAM Act, (S.1829.) to the NDAA."

It doesn't matter that this was the US. The Police in any country cannot be trusted with surveillance technology.

There will always be someone, or really several someones who will relish being able to stalk someone on a whim. Or to do a mate a favour.

It's the nature of organisations set up to protect property and to enable state violence.

The power is what attracts the worst folks to wield it.

Power reveals.

It's crazy what a strong wind is capable of, it is almost like dystopian surveillance devices are not meant to be there.

The Angela Collective is hosting an event to discuss the disastrous ramifications of Bill C-22 in so called Canada which is slated to pass sometime later this year 😬

This bill may see the end of @signalapp availability in Canada and the death of any centralized service offering even a veil of privacy

Join us in discussing plans and alternatives to pre-existing standards in the leftist community and how we can pivot our use of technology to benefit us rather then our corporate and governmental overlords who seek to make 1984 look like a privacy utopia.

Technology by and for the people in a better world 🏴

Punchbowl News is reporting that Senate Commerce is looking at July 29 for a "kids and AI" markup -- likely to include KOSA as well as Cruz' chatbot bill and perhaps some other AI bills. The date isn't finalized yet, so keep your eyes peeled!
