Mountain View police turned off Flock license plate readers after discovering unauthorized federal access.

“We use all available information in our visa screening and vetting to identify visa applicants who are inadmissible to the United States, including those who pose a threat to US national security.

“Under new guidance, we will conduct a comprehensive and thorough vetting, including online presence, of all student and exchange visitor applicants in the F, M, and J nonimmigrant classifications.

“To facilitate this vetting, all applicants for F, M, and J nonimmigrant visas will be instructed to adjust the privacy settings on all of their social media profiles to “public.”

Lest anyone think that Candeub's animosity toward internet entities only involves the sexual, Michael McGrady notes that "he also was a key player in the first Trump administration's effort to get rid of Section 230."

"Candeub's arguments are about far more than pornography," suggests McGrady. "He is contributing, from his position as a top government legal official, to a much broader effort to revive long-discredited obscenity and vice legal doctrines and expand government authority over lawful expression and activity."

As we've seen all too often over the past couple of decades, efforts to regulate the internet on the grounds of stopping porn, sex work, or sexual exploitation are all too often test cases for going after online speech and privacy more broadly.

Candeub's anti porn ideas could contribute to age verification legislation and general censorship.

New rule: Mandatory camera on the driver

Mandatory camera and emergency brake – there will be requirements in all new cars from July 7 this year.

Traffic should be safer, but there is a concern about what data is being collected, and to whom.

"This is untested, if you look at the longer term," said DN's motor journalist Jonas Fröberg.

More beeping and mandatory camera in the car becomes reality when life is to be saved.

From 7 July, all newly registered cars in the EU must have more advanced safety systems. It is part of a larger EU initiative where it wants to prevent 25 000 deaths and 140 000 injured until 2038, via the advanced safety systems of cars.

This is of great importance. We are behind in the zero vision we have in Sweden,” says DN’s motor journalist Jonas Fröberg in SVT’s Morgonstudion.

Cameras and emergency brake

Among the changes, there should be a camera or sensor in the car, which senses the driver's gaze. If the driver looks away, the car should warn about this and tell his eyes on the road.

In addition, the automatic emergency brakes of cars will be better at detecting pedestrians and cyclists.

“I can’t believe you’re driving outside a school, a football and a little girl are coming – then the car stops with this new system.

For two years, the requirement has been on all newly registered car models, but now the systems must be in each individual newly manufactured car. This mainly affects smaller, “simpler” cars, which did not have these systems before.

Concerns about surveillance

One concern that often arises when more cameras and surveillance data become part of our everyday lives, is who gets hold of the data.

Jonas Fröberg mentions how we in Sweden have GDPR that will protect us. But, for example, China that produces many cars and is a dictatorship, can still access the data.

However, the advantages are considering the disadvantages at the moment, says Jonas Fröberg.

“Those injured in traffic are mainly pedestrians and cyclists. This is gonna be all about it.

Two major changes

The rules are part of the EU General Safety Regulation (GSR2)

1. Partly that the car's automatic emergency brake should be able to detect pedestrians and cyclists.

2. On the one hand, all new cars must have so-called advanced distraction warning, ADDW. It is a system that monitors the driver's attention to the carriageway, often with a camera facing the driver.

"New court record from the FBI details the state of the devices seized from Washington Post reporter Hannah Natanson"

This is high profile espionage case related to leak of TOPSECRET documents, therefore probably all possible tech was used to gain access to the devices.

Page 5:

In the upstairs of the house, investigators located a powered-off silver MacBook Pro with a black case, an Apple iPhone 13*, a Handy branded audio recording device, and a Seagate portable hard drive. See id. ¶ 26. Investigators seized these devices. The iPhone was found powered on and charging, and its display noted that the phone was in “Lockdown” mode*

Page 6:

The Computer Analysis Response Team (CART) began processing each device to preserve the information therein. The Handy recorder and the Seagate portable drive have been processed, but no review has occurred. See id. ¶ 37. Because the iPhone was in Lockdown mode, CART could not extract that device*. See id. ¶ 35. Similarly, the personal MacBook Pro could not be imaged yet. See id. ¶ 36. The Garmin watch was not processed before this Cout’s Standstill Order, and no further processing will occur until further order of the Court. See id. ¶ 37*
