I have an op-ed in the NYT today about the Grok scandal, sharing my research from last year finding that legal risk hinders AI companies from making their models safer against CSAM - an echo of the years where white-hat hackers were chilled from good-faith research. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/12/o...

Google didn’t win search through innovation—it was convicted of abusing its monopoly.

A Developer Accidentally Found CSAM in AI Data. Google Banned Him For It Mark Russo reported the dataset to all the right organizations, but still couldn't get into his accounts for months.

Thank you @emanuelmaiberg.bsky.social — thanks to your report, I got my account back. For most “nobodies,” recovery is impossible. You’re shedding light on how deeply broken this process is. Hope more people see it now. www.404media.co/a-developer-...

Opinion: San Jose’s vast surveillance network is watching you. Be afraid. The city’s license plate cameras are collecting revealing data that police nationwide are searching — all without warrants.

Police surveil everyone driving in San Jose and search that data thousands of times per month without ever seeking a warrant. It’s an unchecked police power, an end run around the courts & a blatant privacy invasion, EFF’s Lisa Femia wrote for @MercuryNews.com. www.mercurynews.com/2025/12/06/...

Google Chrome's internet supremacy faces major threats Competitors are capitalizing on privacy and safety concerns to urge users to migrate to their in-home browsers from Google Chrome.

"Google Chrome has failed to provide key privacy protections that other browsers offer," EFF’s Lena Cohen told @Newsweek.com; awareness of online tracking’s dangers “has led many consumers to switch to privacy-focused browsers, like Firefox and DuckDuckGo.” www.newsweek.com/google-chro...
