New from 404 Media: the Discord hack is every users' worst nightmare. Yesterday the hackers started posting Discord users' selfies, identity documents, email addresses, phone numbers, more. I watched in real time. This is risk of tech storing ID for age verification

THANK YOU. THIS IS WHAT WE MEAN WHEN WE SAY EVERY BILLIONAIRE IS A POLICY FAILURE. IT'S THE INSTABILITY LARGE CONCENTRATIONS OF POWER CREATE. NOT THE LOST REVENUE.

It’s very much Not Great to have GOP leadership describe a planned non violent march as being in service a the “terrorist wing”

Trying to scare people. But it won't work. No one looks scared to me anymore. And it's power in numbers. All the TV hits in the world won't change the fact that when Americans see the sheer number of people out there, absolutely no one will believe anything these guys say.

Lower Than Cowards The surrender of America’s elites

"The sheer number of American elites willing to acquiesce to the destruction of democratic institutions is demoralizing. But it’s worth noting that many ordinary people seem to be made of sterner stuff."

I cannot abide more media illiteracy.

ABC News has absolutely ZERO to do with Jimmy Kimmel. They are completely separate and distinct parts of the network. I would know. The Undefeated newsroom was in the same DC building as ABC News.

Same parent co—Disney, but zero collaboration.

I hate it here.

How does this change save any money?

Sinclair went further, demanding Kimmel apologize and donate to TPUSA, and slotted a Kirk tribute in his slot. That reads as politics, not policy.

Tell ABC Audience Relations you support Kimmel. Ask for the written policy and equal enforcement. 818-460-7477.

Jimmy Kimmel’s suspension reverberates beyond late-night TV Critics accused ABC of bowing to President Donald Trump after it suspended Kimmel’s show over his comments about the suspect in the Charlie Kirk killing.

Timeline looks like pressure. FCC Chair floated “easy way or hard way,” Nexstar said its ABC stations would preempt, ABC then pulled the show. Receipts in WaPo.

Nexstar’s press release says its ABC affiliates will preempt “for the foreseeable future.” That is leverage, not standards.

Late-Night TV Isn’t Dying—It’s Being Murdered And we’re not just talking about Jimmy Kimmel. In part one of a two-part series, nearly a dozen insiders explain how one of comedy’s oldest genres is being strangled—starting with the chilling effect ...

Looking more and more likely the feds will step in. Great. ☹️

If an official threatens licenses, ask for on-the-record clarity from that office and link receipts. Meanwhile, tell ABC to publish the policy and stand by it.

Your actionable step today is not constitutional cosplay, it is calling ABC and your local affiliate to ask for policy clarity and reinstatement.

ABC says “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” is preempted indefinitely, not canceled. I support Kimmel and want ABC to publish the written standard it believes applies here, and to use it evenly.

Private networks can pull shows. It becomes a First Amendment problem if officials coerce them.

Eastern Iowa city considers using a helpful but controversial tool for law enforcement Other cities such as Cedar Rapids, North Liberty and Dubuque already adopted this crime fighting tool.

Editor: Did you dig into all these private businesses using private license plate readers and trackers to warrantlessly surveil the public?

Reporter: No, not at all, but I did say Flock surveillance is helpful in the headline, and popular in the lede

Editor: Perfect, run it

The solution to homelessness is safe and secure housing, not jail time or forced treatment.

King of the Hill managed a decent comeback here, for sure. 👍

this is a really good overview of how the CVE and NVD programs have been struggling to keep up with the avalanche of vulnerabilities in recent years

That's a mighty big change, if you ask me.

📌 TL;DR:
- 35 years of fighting surveillance, censorship, and privacy erosion
- Excellence in law, tech, activism leading to world-changing wins
- Now more vital than ever as digital rights come under pressure
- You can join the fight: donate, volunteer, share, and watch the livestream!

With AI bias, platform censorship, biometric surveillance, reproductive health surveillance, and growing corporate/state power, EFF’s work in promoting privacy, free expression, and due process is crucial. As Cindy Cohn put it: “…we're doing our part to preserve the necessities of democracy.”
