As always, there’s a lot going on! \u00a0There’s so much discussion of the impact of the Supreme Court Dobbs <\/em>decision ending Roe that I’ve added a new Privacy after Roe<\/strong> section to the updates.<\/p>\n

People seeking concealed carry permits will be subject to reviews of their social media accounts from the past three years to confirm \u201ccharacter and conduct.\u201d What could possibly go wrong? As Prof. Desmond Upton Patton (founder of SAFElab<\/a>, a research initiative focused on examining the ways in which youth of color navigate violence on and offline) says:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe question should be: Can we do this in an anti-racist way that does not create another set of violence, which is the state violence that happens through surveillance?\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Privacy Groups Blast Virginia for Ditching Cop Facial Recognition Ban<\/a><\/h3>\n

Mack DeGeurin on \u00a0Gizmodo (gizmodo.com)<\/p>\n

Last year, Virginia banned local police use of facial recognition and other biometric identification tools<\/a>. \u00a0Now, the bill’s been amended to give law enforcement the ability to use these technologies in a lot of situations \u2013 without a warrant and virtually no oversight. \u00a0From ACLU of Virginia’s statement<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“The question we ask is: why the rush to expand a practice that has proven to be both unreliable and harmful?”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Europe\u2019s state of mass surveillance<\/a><\/h3>\n

Vincent Manancourt on POLITICO (politico.eu)<\/p>\n

The European Court of Justice (the EU’s top court) has repeatedly ruled that mass retention of phone and internet traffic and location data violates fundamental EU privacy rights<\/a>. \u00a0Governments do it anyway.<\/p>\n

The French government at first tried to pressure its court<\/a> not to follow EU case law, arguing it went against the country\u2019s \u201cconstitutional identity.\u201d Paris even mulled seeking changes<\/a> to the EU\u2019s<\/a> founding treaties or the Charter of Fundamental Rights, known as the bloc\u2019s primary law, to dodge the EU’s top court rulings.<\/p>\n

In Denmark, government ministers openly criticized the EU court. \u201cI think that the fundamental problem here is that the Court of Justice of the European Union creates law without democratic legitimacy,\u201d Danish Justice Minister Nick H\u00e6kkerup said<\/a> following a ruling in late 2021. \u201cAfter all, they are just judges.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
