every single word of this is bad
The New York Police Department has joined Neighbors, a public neighborhood watch platform owned by Amazon’s Ring where video doorbell owners can post clips, and where precincts can enlist the help of the city’s residents in their investigations. nyti.ms/3AMxbj0

Aaron Swartz would have been 36 today.
Aaron committed suicide after being sentenced to 35 years in prison by US authorities for transferring and sharing scientific articles from JSTOR.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Swartz was never convicted or sentenced to prison. After declining a plea bargain in which he'd serve six months in jail, he committed suicide before trial.

What a mess.

This is the most ridiculous read of the situation. This is not “FTC trying to murder a foundation of the economy.” It’s “advertisers went all in on a predatory, exploitative system and they’re getting called on it.”

A Clearview AI lawyer testified in front of UK parliament today and confirmed what our team at BuzzFeed News reported a year ago: the company has been hawking its facial recognition tech to countries with questionable human rights records like the UAE.

Red Bull has never had a 1-2 in the drivers championship. That’s now their stated aim. His refusal to help them in that desire yesterday showed petulance and a sad and selfish short sighted spitefulness. He’s not the complete racer yet. Nor the talisman they need. Much to learn.
