Trust Me, Bro: Flock's Latest Security Blog, Reviewed Flock Safety's new CISO published a blog post defending the company's cybersecurity record. It relies on misquoted opponents, vibe-based severity ratings, and a conspicuous absence of actual evidence.

"Castaldo’s 2,000-word defense does not contain a single customer notification, a single CVE, or a single NIST certificate number. It relies on strawmen arguments, mischaracterizations of hardware lifecycles, and a little light defamation."

Türkiye expands Black Sea surveillance amid Russia-Ukraine conflict The spillover of Ukraine-Russia war continues threatening the security in Black Sea. Türkiye has identified 275 suspicious objects in the Black Sea to date, including drifting mines, kamikaze drones and unmanned surface vehicles, the Ministry of National Defense said Saturday. Of them, 29 have been neutralized, the ministry said in a statement. Amid threats posed by drifting mines during the Russia-Ukraine War, an agreement was signed on Jan. 11, 2024, under Türkiye’s leadership, with the participation of Romania and Bulgaria, to establish the Black Sea Mine Countermeasures Task Group (MCM Black Sea). The statement noted that since March 26, 2022, following the outbreak of the war, the Turkish navy has continuously carried out reconnaissance, surveillance, patrol and disposal operations targeting mines, unmanned surface vehicles (USVs), unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and unexploded ordnance in the Black Sea. "As part of efforts to protect our maritime jurisdiction areas, under Operation Black Sea Harmony, two frigates, one submarine, one patrol vessel, one maritime patrol aircraft, one helicopter and one UAV are deployed. For mine surveillance activities, two minehunter ships, one fast attack craft, three helicopters, one underwater defense team and one UAV are on duty,” the statement said. It added that during operations...

AI-driven border surveillance is spreading across west Africa. What this means for migrants' rights West Africa as a region has long had one of the most mobile populations in the world. Since 1979, the Economic Community of West African States (Ecowas) has allowed citizens of its member states to travel freely across borders without visas. This freedom of movement has helped support regional trade, labour mobility and social ties. But a technological shift is changing how borders operate, with important implications for human rights. Across west Africa, governments are introducing biometric identification systems, facial recognition cameras and artificial intelligence tools at airports and land borders. As a researcher in international law, human rights and technology governance, I recently published a study on these developments. In it I argue that the growing use of AI-driven border surveillance risks undermining migrants’ rights. It is weakening data protection and placing pressure on the region’s commitment to free movement. These systems promise to help governments combat terrorism, human trafficking and irregular migration. However, they also raise serious questions about privacy, discrimination and the future of free movement in the region. The rise of ‘digital borders’ In the past, borders in west Africa were often lightly controlled. Many crossing points lacked sophisticated equipment. Regional mobility relied largely on trust...

A federal judge has now treated the administration’s move against Anthropic less as a procurement decision than as punitive overreach. The core finding is blunt: the government was free to stop buying Claude, but not to turn a contracting dispute into a speech-punishing blacklist. “Punishing Anthropic for bringing public scrutiny to the government’s contracting position is classic illegal First Amendment retaliation.” Rita F. Lin, U.S. District Judge “We do not believe that today’s frontier AI models are reliable enough to be used in fully autonomous weapons.” “Mass domestic surveillance of Americans constitutes a violation of fundamental rights.” Anthropic statement “You can’t have an AI company sell AI to the Department of War and [then] don’t let it do Department of War things.” Emil Michael, Under Secretary of War for Research and Engineering, to DefenseScoop

Judge Rita Lin says Trump and Pete Hegseth likely had no lawful basis to blacklist Anthropic after it refused to let Claude be used for mass domestic surveillance and fully autonomous weapons, calling the move classic First Amendment retaliation. ⚖️🔥🤖🇺🇸 #Anthropic #FreeSpeech #AISafety #Surveillance

Age Verification laws are not the worst thing that happened to our rights 3. Age Verification should be viewed as a feature, we don't want to be left behind and lose market share. 4. You already put way more sensitive personal information on your SSDs anyways, what's wrong with your OS asking for your age?!
