For the second time in a week, demonstrations took place across France against a new “Global Security Law”. The proposed legislation would bring in wide-ranging police surveillance in France, but the main concern of demonstrators is Article 24, which is designed to penalize the “malicious” dissemination of images of French police officers.

U.S. Customs Border Protection (CBP) has filed a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) that highlights their ongoing plans to create a facial recognition database with mugshots of all non-US citizen travelers. The CBP previously proposed the same facial recognition database in 2019, but wanted to also collect mugshots of US citizens. Understandably, the backlash was fast and ferocious, causing the CBP to backtrack and even accuse Papers Please of misrepresenting the CBP’s clearly stated intentions.

Senator Ron Wyden plans to introduce legislation to the US Senate that will stop the Internal Revenue Service from violating the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution. Motherboard recently revealed a contract between the IRS and a third party company called Venntel which specializes in providing location data siphoned from mobile phones. The IRS isn’t allowed to request that data from cell phone companies without a warrant, and new legislation will make sure that they can’t just buy it, either.

Many people set their apps to only use WiFi – not cellular data because data caps are a real thing. It turns out that on Android phones, core system apps by Google bypass this user selection and send an average of 260mb of data back to Google per month – which works out to about $1 per month at average data rates. This information is used to help target ads, so it’s a double whammy to your pockets and your privacy.

There has been a massive rise in the number of Ring installations in the US, with often dozens along a single street. At the same time, the number of US police departments that have partnered with Ring’s law enforcement network has also increased greatly. In addition, new problems with the system have emerged. For example, Gizmodo discovered that network traffic from the associated Neighbors app, advertised as a way to receive real-time crime and safety alerts from the local police, also contained unexpected data. It includes hidden geographic coordinates that are connected to each post – latitude and longitude with up to six decimal points of precision, accurate enough to pinpoint “a square inch of ground”.
