In the last couple months, Vermont, Alabama, and Oklahoma have passed data privacy laws. Massachusetts is negotiating its own version. Meanwhile, congressional lawmakers have introduced national privacy bills that would preempt these state laws. In light of all this legislation, we're revisiting an interview from February about how the United States' data ecosystem makes it possible for any number of government agencies and businesses to buy our private data, from facial scans to health records to location tracking. Host Flora Lichtman talks with law professor and tech policy expert Laura Moy, who has testified in Congress about privacy laws and how data brokers profit off of personal data. Guest: Laura Moy is an associate professor of law at Georgetown Law, based in Washington, D.C. Transcripts for each episode are available within 1-3 days at sciencefriday.com.

When San Francisco police drone video surveillance was accidentally livestreamed on the internet last month, it revealed how extensively, and at what great detail, the city is watched from above. The use of surveillance technology is rapidly growing in the Bay Area, with increasing drone and AI-powered surveillance networks partnering with local law enforcement and government agencies. In 2024, the SFPD launched the Real Time Investigation Center, which included major investments in license plate readers, safety cameras and a drone program and Alameda County just approved the renewal of a $2.25 million contract with Flock Safety. It's all raising concerns about privacy, data leaks, civil liberty infringements and the use of the technology to aid immigration deportations. We'll discuss the state of surveillance tech in the Bay Area, and what it means for public safety and privacy. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This Day in Legal History: Shelby County v. HolderOn this day in legal history, June 25, 2013, the U.S. Supreme Court decided Shelby County v. Holder, a major case on the future of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. In a 5–4 decision, the Court struck down Section 4(b) of the Act, which contained the formula used to decide which states and local governments were subject to federal oversight before changing their voting laws. That oversight system, known as preclearance, had required covered jurisdictions to get approval from the federal government before making changes to election rules. The purpose of preclearance was to stop discriminatory voting practices before they could affect an election. Chief Justice John Roberts wrote the majority opinion, concluding that the coverage formula was based on outdated data and no longer reflected current conditions.The Court did not strike down preclearance itself, but without a valid coverage formula, the preclearance system was largely left without practical effect. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg dissented, joined by Justices Stephen Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor, and Elena Kagan. Ginsburg argued that Congress had created a strong record showing that voting discrimination still existed and that the law remained necessary. Her dissent included the now-famous warning that throwing out preclearance because it had worked was like “throwing away your umbrella in a rainstorm because you are not getting wet.” The decision had immediate consequences because several states that had previously been covered by the formula moved forward with voting-law changes soon after the ruling. Supporters of the decision viewed it as a limit on outdated federal control over state election systems. Critics saw it as a major weakening of one of the most effective civil-rights laws in American history. The case remains central to modern debates over voting access, election administration, federalism, and Congress's power to enforce the Fifteenth Amendment.A federal judge has rejected the Trump administration's attempt to force New Jersey cities to comply with federal immigration enforcement demands. The ruling is a major victory for sanctuary cities and immigrants' rights advocates. Here's the context: Sanctuary cities are municipalities that limit their cooperation with federal immigration authorities. These cities typically instruct their police departments not to ask people about immigration status during routine stops, and they decline to detain people solely based on federal immigration requests (called “detainer requests”) unless there's a warrant signed by a judge.The Trump administration argued that sanctuary city policies undermine immigration enforcement and violate federal law. The administration sued, claiming cities cannot refuse to cooperate with ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement). New Jersey cities argued they have the right to set their own police practices and that cooperating with federal immigration enforcement diverts local police resources from public safety priorities. They also pointed out that when police are seen as working with immigration authorities, immigrant communities become afraid to report crimes or cooperate with law enforcement, which makes the entire community less safe.Local police have limited resources. A city police officer has to decide whether to use their time investigating a robbery or helping federal immigration agents deport someone. Local communities have a right to prioritize local public safety. Moreover, if immigrant families fear that any contact with police will result in deportation, they won't report crimes, won't testify as witnesses, and crime will increase. The federal judge agreed with New Jersey. The court found that cities have the authority to set their own police practices and cannot be forced to participate in federal immigration enforcement, particularly when federal authorities can get judicial warrants if they believe someone should be detained.The ruling protects sanctuary city policies This decision affirms that local communities can set their own law enforcement priorities and aren't required to become extensions of federal immigration enforcement. It recognizes that immigrants are part of communities and that community safety depends on immigrants trusting local police. The ruling will likely inspire other sanctuary jurisdictions to defend their policies against federal challenges. It represents a significant pushback against the Trump administration's aggressive immigration enforcement agenda.Judge tosses Trump administration's challenge to New Jersey cities' ‘sanctuary' policies | ReutersNew Jersey's Supreme Court has ruled that police departments cannot keep their use of facial recognition technology entirely secret. The decision represents a significant victory for transparency in law enforcement. Here's what happened: Police departments have increasingly used facial recognition software to identify suspects by comparing surveillance video or photos to databases of mugshots and driver's license photos. The technology can help solve crimes, but it also raises serious concerns about accuracy, bias, and privacy. Civil liberties groups have argued that if police use facial recognition to investigate people, the public and defendants have a right to know about it.Transparency is especially important because facial recognition technology has known accuracy problems, particularly when identifying people of color. If a police department relies on facial recognition to identify a suspect, and that technology is biased or inaccurate, the defendant needs to know that to challenge the evidence in court. New Jersey police departments had been claiming that their use of facial recognition was a “trade secret” or “law enforcement technique” that they could keep secret. The New Jersey Supreme Court said no.If the government uses technology to investigate you, you have a constitutional right to know about it and to challenge it. You can't mount a proper defense if you don't know what evidence was used to identify you or how reliable that evidence is.The court found that transparency about police use of facial recognition is essential to the defendant's right to a fair trial and to public accountability. Facial recognition technology is too important and too prone to error for police to keep its use secret. This ruling sets a precedent that police departments cannot hide behind “trade secrets” to avoid disclosing their investigative methods. It opens the door to litigation challenging facial recognition evidence on grounds of accuracy and bias. It also signals that courts recognize the dangers of artificial intelligence and surveillance technology and will require transparency and accountability around their use.New Jersey court limits secrecy around police use of facial recognition tools | ReutersA federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to provide a detailed explanation for covering a mural at the Kennedy Center that depicts civil rights imagery and historical figures. The ruling centers on questions of censorship, government power, and artistic freedom.The Kennedy Center, a performing arts venue in Washington, D.C., displays a mural that includes imagery related to the civil rights movement and depicts various historical and cultural figures. The Trump administration decided to cover the mural with tarps, presumably because it objected to the political or social messaging of the artwork. Civil liberties groups and artists sued, arguing that covering the mural violated the First Amendment by suppressing speech and political expression. The Trump administration claimed it had legitimate reasons for covering the mural, though it didn't initially specify what those reasons were. The federal judge said the government cannot simply cover up art without explaining why.The First Amendment protects people's right to speak and express themselves, including through art. When the government covers up art or speech, it's engaging in “prior restraint”—stopping speech before it happens. Courts are extremely skeptical of prior restraint because the whole point of the First Amendment is to prevent the government from censoring expression it dislikes. The government has to have a very good reason to suppress speech, and it has to be transparent about its reasons. The Kennedy Center mural at issue appears to have been covered by the administration for political reasons—it objected to the message. That's exactly the kind of censorship the First Amendment is designed to prevent. The judge's order requires the administration to explain its reasoning, which will allow the court to evaluate whether the government's stated reasons are legitimate or whether this is simply political censorship.This ruling protects artistic expression and prevents the government from secretly censoring art it dislikes. It affirms that the Kennedy Center's mural is protected speech, not just decoration. It also sends a message that when the government restricts speech or expression, it must be transparent and justify its actions in court. The case reflects broader concerns about executive power and the limits of what a president can do to suppress expression, art, or speech that the administration objects to.US judge orders Trump administration to explain tarp obscuring Kennedy Center facade | Reuters This is a public episode.

In this week's Talking Tech, Rory talks about facial recognition - an increasingly common type of technology that helps us to unlock our devices. How does it work, and how widely used is it across the UK?
Facial recognition remains one of the most controversial technologies in Australian security, sitting at the intersection of public safety, privacy, surveillance and corporate responsibility.In this episode, we speak with Alex MacDonald, Director at Vixels and former National Investigations and Security Manager at Bunnings, about the retailer's use of facial recognition technology and how the issue has evolved since the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner's ruling.We examine why Bunnings adopted the technology, what it was designed to achieve, where the rollout fell short, and what the subsequent legal and regulatory developments mean for retailers, security professionals and technology providers.The discussion also addresses the key operational questions surrounding facial recognition: when its use may be justified, how consent and notification should be handled, what safeguards are required to reduce false matches and misuse, and whether organisations can balance security outcomes with individual privacy rights.For anyone involved in retail security, loss prevention, surveillance, privacy, compliance or risk management, this episode provides a practical examination of what the Bunnings case means for the future of facial recognition in Australia.For more podcasts, visit www.asial.com.au

Police Kill 10,000 Dogs Every Year… Why Does Nobody Care? POLICE KILL 10,000 DOGS EVERY YEAR… WHY DOES NOBODY CARE? A family was celebrating a big Knicks victory when police arrived over a noise complaint. Minutes later, their beloved dog was dead. The owner sat on the ground sobbing while officers stood nearby. No arrests. No charges. No consequences. And here's the shocking part: this isn't rare. Experts estimate that police kill more than 10,000 dogs every year in America — roughly 25 to 30 every single day. That's nearly ten times the number of people killed annually by police. Many of these animals are family pets on their own property. Animal welfare groups, including the ASPCA, have called for mandatory reporting, better training, and accountability when officers use deadly force against animals. So why is this still happening? Because dogs have no legal rights of their own. They can't sue. They can't testify. And in the eyes of the law, they're often treated as property rather than family members. Today, Karel asks a difficult question: Why are police allowed to kill thousands of beloved pets every year with little oversight or accountability? PLUS: • Are bars and clubs using facial recognition technology to collect your personal information without your knowledge? • Why are businesses scanning your face and storing your data for weeks? • What Toy Story 5 reveals about childhood, imagination, friendship, and our growing dependence on screens.

ALIENS vs GOD? Would Disclosure Shatter Religion? What happens if humanity learns we are not alone? Steven Spielberg's upcoming film Disclosure Day raises a question that has fascinated scientists, theologians, and governments for generations: If extraterrestrial life is proven beyond any doubt, what happens next? Would confirmation of alien civilizations strengthen religious belief—or challenge it? Does the Bible leave room for intelligent life beyond Earth, or would disclosure force humanity to rethink some of its oldest stories about creation and our place in the universe? Karel explores the philosophical, religious, and political implications of alien disclosure, government secrecy, and whether the public has a right to know if world leaders already possess evidence of extraterrestrial life.

06-14-26 Facial Recognition by Lisa Evers HOT97
China, Russia, and... the UK? We're talking about mass surveillance. Did you know the UK is in the 5 most surveilled countries in the world? AI facial recognition technology is causing alarm for its recent deployment at protests. It's being rolled out across the UK at a pace outstripping the rules designed to govern it. More than 6.6 million faces have been scanned since 2023. And guess what? Black and Asian people are most likely to be mismatched and criminally pursued in error. But surveillance these days isn't always as obvious as cameras on police vans. In today's world, it's about data. And governments aren't collecting it on their own – they're contracting private corporations to do it: via shady contracts that pay these companies not just in multimillion pound deals, but goldmines of our private information. Palantir is at the top of that list – and the US tech firm that's been providing ICE agents with private health data to help them target migrant communities has now got its claws in the NHS. Social media platforms are surveillance companies in their own right. And the media that's supposed to hold them to account often functions as a tool in the data-gathering industry. How are we supposed to navigate this minefield?! To help us through the maze, we're joined by Jasleen Chaggar, Senior Legal and Policy Officer at Big Brother Watch, and investigative tech reporter Jade Ruyu-Yan.

This week on The Queue, the crew accidentally uncovers a fascinating question about the future of themed entertainment. First, Disney faces a new lawsuit over facial recognition technology at Disneyland, sparking debate over privacy, convenience, biometric data, and whether theme parks are becoming too dependent on surveillance technology. Then, we dive into Universal's Epic Universe one-year anniversary and the surprising new "Open Hub" concept that could completely change how theme parks operate in the future. Is Universal quietly building the first true next-generation theme park? Finally, Disney quietly launches new "Disney Store Limited Time" retail locations in malls across America — and fans are unexpectedly emotional about it. Did Disney underestimate how important physical Disney Stores were to fandom and nostalgia? Along the way, the crew discusses: facial recognition in theme parks Epic Universe expansion and innovation Disney vs Universal philosophy the future of immersive entertainment mall nostalgia Disney Store memories technology vs emotional connection and what fans REALLY want from themed entertainment in 2026. Join the conversation and let us know: Would you trade privacy for convenience in the parks? Has Epic Universe changed the industry? And do you miss Disney Stores? Civil discussions encouraged.

This is show #630. Magic Our Way — Where Every Opinion Is Welcome.
Epic Universe Vice President Jeff Polk sat down with a small group of reporters to mark the park's first year, discuss its unique design elements, and push back on expansion timelines. The design choices, the new Captain Cacao meet-and-greet, and Universal's beta tests of an open Celestial Park hub all point in the same direction: they need smaller experiences to soak up crowds, and they may eventually turn Celestial Park into a CityWalk-style space or charge per portal. Scott makes the case that Celestial Park is "pretty lights with no storytelling," a transition space that's too big for the IP-rich lands it connects to, and why pivoting the use case could work.Then, Disney faces a new class action lawsuit over facial recognition at Disneyland. The complaint argues that Disney doesn't adequately disclose its biometric collection practices. The technology is something we've been discussing for years (whether at airports, sporting arenas, or even the magic bands), yet it seems the main issue is how guests expect to be informed about any AI use of biometrics.

In episode 60 of the Executive Perspective, Ron and special guest co-host retired NYPD Inspector Joe Courtesis delve into recent cases that have resulted in the arrests of individuals who were misidentified using facial recognition technology. Joe, an expert in this field, will shed light on the causes of these errors, exploring whether they stem from technological limitations, investigative oversights, or a lack of awareness among law enforcement about best practices and policies regarding facial recognition. As the future of policing increasingly relies on advanced technology, the conversation shifts to the potential violations of public constitutional rights and the impact on public trust. Join the interactive chat for an engaging and thought-provoking discussion that will challenge your perspectives on the role of technology in law enforcement. With a combined 65 years of service in the NYPD, over 40 of which were in the executive ranks, retired Deputy Chief Rob Lukach and retired Inspector Ron Leyson offer an unparalleled analysis of policy, procedure, and leadership in the NYPD and law enforcement in general. On their podcast, Ron and Rob engage in a lively discussion, debate, and dissection of current high-profile incidents and topics of concern to rank-and-file members from their unique "Executive Perspective."

In today's episode, I sit down with Michael Doherty, founder and CEO of Verifyfaces, to break down how facial recognition can be affordable, fast, and practical without relying on expensive AI. We talk about his shift to facial geometry, turning faces into mathematical data that runs on existing cameras while cutting costs by up to 90%. Michael explains how this approach improves search speed, reduces operator fatigue, and enables real-time alerts for schools, retailers, monitoring centers, and domestic violence prevention. We also cover rare use cases like biometric-triggered emergency alerts and how smarter architecture can prevent incidents before they escalate.
