How Cops Are Using Flock Safety's ALPR Network to Surveil Protesters and Activists

Through an analysis of 10 months of nationwide searches on Flock Safety's servers, we discovered that more than 50 federal, state, and local agencies ran hundreds of searches through Flock's national network of surveillance data in connection with protest activity. In some cases, law enforcement specifically targeted known activist groups, demonstrating how mass surveillance technology increasingly threatens our freedom to demonstrate.

Looks like we’re cutting 20-25% of product and technology. Losing a bunch of very senior #ruby and #react devs (and mostly senior/staff/principal levels), as well as a bunch of #datatech and #product folks. We are a remote company but based in #boston so a lot of folks are here. If anyone is hiring, please let me know! #fedihired #layoffs #tech

The Patent Office Is About To Make Bad Patents Untouchable

The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has proposed new rules that would effectively end the public’s ability to challenge improperly granted patents at the Patent Office itself. We need EFF supporters to file public comments opposing these rules this week. The USPTO is moving quickly, and staying silent will only help those who profit from abusive patents.

TL;DR: Kendra Albert's talk at USENIX Security highlights how legal agreements on vulnerability disclosure hinder researchers and allow companies to neglect fixing security flaws, undermining the goals of the responsible disclosure movement. https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2025/11/legal-restrictions-on-vulnerability-disclosure.html #law #tech #legaltech ⚖️ 🤖 #autosum

Legal Restrictions on Vulnerability Disclosure - Schneier on Security

Kendra Albert gave an excellent talk at USENIX Security this year, pointing out that the legal agreements surrounding vulnerability disclosure muzzle researchers while allowing companies to not fix the vulnerabilities—exactly the opposite of what the responsible disclosure movement of the early 2000s was supposed to prevent. This is the talk. Thirty years ago, a debate raged over whether vulnerability disclosure was good for computer security. On one side, full disclosure advocates argued that software bugs weren’t getting fixed and wouldn’t get fixed if companies that made insecure software wasn’t called out publicly. On the other side, companies argued that full disclosure led to exploitation of unpatched vulnerabilities, especially if they were hard to fix. After blog posts, public debates, and countless mailing list flame wars, there emerged a compromise solution: coordinated vulnerability disclosure, where vulnerabilities were disclosed after a period of confidentiality where vendors can attempt to fix things. Although full disclosure fell out of fashion, disclosure won and security through obscurity lost. We’ve lived happily ever after since...
