Exploit Code Not People

Cell-site simulators (CSS, also known as Stingrays or IMSI catchers) are devices that masquerade as legitimate cell-phone towers, tricking phones within a certain radius into connecting to the device rather than a tower. Our new tool, Rayhunter, can help you find them. www.eff.org/deeplinks/20...

Don’t let the major companies control every bit of tech you touch. Tweak a few settings, or opt out of their options entirely. Either way, you win. www.eff.org/pages/welco...

Its a completely normal take to say that anyone saying “ai is having real harms right now” is somehow shilling for AI but i guess thats the bluesky nuanced take for you

EFF’s @cooperq.com discussed this with @nytimes.com’s @nytwirecutter.bsky.social today. “Maintenance of these critical systems depends on a small number of volunteers working on this in their free time,” he said, calling for more investment in open-source projects.

Corporations made trillions of dollars off of a foundation of open source software. The vulnerability apocalypse could destroy that foundation. It's time for corporations to pull their weight. www.eff.org/deeplinks/20...

The Vulnerability Apocalypse is here, and computer security is about to get a whole lot worse. Here's what you can do. www.eff.org/deeplinks/20...

It's probably not good that 33 million websites are still vulnerable to PHP2Shell php2shell.censys.com

I'm going to go out on a limb here but maybe we should stop letting corporations and the rich break everything in the world and face zero consequences. Just a thought.

Eff has developed a tech safety guide for kids and parents and it’s very good! If you have kids take a look or send it to someone who does! ssd.eff.org/module/onlin...

Who wants to start a hacker hardcore band with me. We will call ourselves Heartbleed.

“Courts have ruled that this is a general search of not just the person who is the suspect, but also potentially thousands of innocent people nearby that have nothing to do with what’s going on,” EFF’s @cooperq.com told @atlantanewsfirst.com. “This technology should only be used with a warrant.”

LISTEN: EFF Executive Director @nicoleozer.bsky.social joined @plutopia.io to explain how we’re using integrated advocacy and building coalitions to protect privacy, free expression, and other digital rights as AI expands the power of governments and corporations.

Switching from Flock to Axon isn't a solution. As EFF's @maassive.bsky.social told KOLO ABC7 Reno, "People don't want mass surveillance."

“Just switch to Linux” used to be advice reserved for super-nerds on obscure forums, but these days it’s far less intimidating. Give it a try. www.eff.org/pages/i-wan...

We know EFF’s new license plate frame won’t stop police from tracking your car everywhere you go. But it will tell them how you feel about it, and speaking out helps create change.

We’re bringing the fight against warrantless ALPR searches to the Wisconsin Supreme Court. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

Holy shit Mapquest after blowing a 10 year lead and then swooping in at the last minute for the win was not what I expected but I’m extremely here for it!

ICE is building a domestic military, and with that comes a domestic surveillance machine. Hackers are fighting back. youtu.be/qwhpPnkZ884

By default, most companies that make chatbots and other AI software collect and use your data for AI training. But you can opt out of that training. www.eff.org/pages/i-wan...

“Using an advanced surveillance capability such as a cell-site simulator against members of the free press for reporting stories that are unfavorable to the president is an appalling attack on the First Amendment,” EFF’s @cooperq.com told @wired.com.

ICE may not be using stingrays to spy on protestors but they are using them to spy on journalists that displease the president. And that might be even worse. www.wired.com/story/feds-g...

“She asked the powers at NASA to let her add a safeguard to prevent that error in a real flight, and they laughed it off as too unlikely… When an astronaut did make that blooper during the Apollo 8 mission, it caused necessary navigational data to vanish, and they called Hamilton in to get it back.”

RIP Margret Hamilton aka rope mother. Thanks for getting us to the moon. And she did it all without an LLM or even stack overflow. A true legend. news.mit.edu/2026/margare...

Sad news everyone. Our beloved friend the computer has now become a hated enemy

These are the same weirdos who are trying to take over the process of regulating AI and setting US tech policy. little-flying-robots.ghost.io/why-we-cant-...

Eliezer Yudkowsky, rationalist leader and AI advisor to Bernie Sanders (whose partner, Gretta Duleba, is mentioned as an instructor on the Slutcon 2026 program), wrote a rather notorious scifi story with some curious ideas about rape back in 2009: www.polemics.md/that-time-el...

"Does the rationalist movement have a misogyny problem?" is a question with a pretty clear answer. Just look at what Yud's willing to say out loud.

Maybe we shouldn’t have trained ChatGPT and Claude on Anonymous. Crazy.

The children need a new form of ball? Foot Basket Base Volley Pickle Pin Net Dodge Kick American foot Paint Hand Wall -pit And tether. What more do these kids need?

“Everyone last night agreed, also”

And what’s even cooler about @veilid.com is that every app makes the network stronger. We don’t have to rely on just a few nerds like me running the veilid equivalent of exit nodes, because every app is a node And every server is a node! This is a project that has built in its own growth mechanism!

raise their goddam taxes holy shit

We haven’t solved multi-region latency on Earth

Why is veilid so cool? Because there are cool projects like this veilamp.com

Why though? Maybe they should just stay home honestly. I liked it better when I didn't have to hear from him.

Fantastic news for the fight against IMSI catchers in the US! 4th circuit holds use of cell-site simulator is a 4th amendment search www.ca4.uscourts.gov/opinions/181... "We hold that the use of the cell-site simulator constituted a search within the meaning of the Fourth Amendment.

Congressional Black Caucus links up with Palantir to honor Shirley Chisolm's legacy

Online sports betting company DraftKings is using AI to target losing gamblers. This is yet another example of how online behavioral advertising hurts real people.

If y'all haven't heard of Veilid this is a great introduction. I really think this is one of the most exciting projects of the decade. This is how we build the internet we want to see. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ung...
