Oregon's SB 1516 faces backlash over license plate data concerns SALEM, Ore. - Privacy advocates are raising alarms over the influence of tech lobbyists on Oregon's Senate Bill 1516, which aims to protect license plate data privacy.

"They even went so far as to contact the state's CISO... and had him write a letter to the Senate Judiciary saying if we passed this with the definition, it would be bad for Axon's business model, which is a total corruption of the legislative process," said Ky Fireside

Biology was always my first love.

You didn't miss much, but the audience missed out on you being able to correct some misinfo in real time. I'll give you at least 7 hours heads up if I host one, heh.

Flock sent a rep to this livestream today. The hosts pinned some of my comments. This liar said they never gave data to ICE. I reminded them of their "pilot program". He also claimed the cameras "aren't hackable". Eyes Off Eugene and others like @bennjordan.bsky.social repeatedly disproved that.

Oregon is trying to legislate requiring #alpr vendors to use end-to-end encryption, but they took the definition of #e2ee out of the bill. How do you plan on enforcing that? Corporations have been trying for years to say that encryption at rest plus encryption in transit is the same as e2ee. Lies.

Good thing those aren't our only 2 options.

ICE is a post-9/11 invention. Abolishing it would be fine. It's an unnecessary and damaging institution with no historic positive value. We can enforce customs issues with a different entity.

Now that I've seen lobbying up close and in person, let me explain how it's nothing like what you thought.

...

It's far, far worse. This is the most insidious, dishonest, corruption-in-full-view manipulation of gullible people in power.

I don’t have my own office yet, but here I am in Salem, working on legislation to protect Oregonians from mass surveillance.

The local Dem party chair told me I needed to "appeal to moderates to win".

A centrist who will vote Dem as long as the candidate isn't, like, too queer *is a fiction*.

That's a Dem fever dream. It's... a waste and a betrayal.

So, no. I won't attempt appealing to the center aka the right.

That would be me!

Currently working on Oregon privacy legislation, but will always find time to help someone fight Flock!

Beneath my façade of anti-imperialism is...

... genuine care for others.

Thank you for making me guffaw.

Also a right-to-repair advocate and privacy *enthusiast*.

Thanks for noticing! <3
