A bill for the people? We nearly forgot the government could do that 👀

The US government regularly gets around the 4th Amendment by buying data from “third-party” data brokers, to invade your privacy with no oversight.

Why this is legal? We have no idea, but Rep. Thomas Massie (KY) just introduced the Surveillance Accountability Act (with help drafting from Naomi Brockwell!) which closes this loophole.

The bill would mandate warrants for all surveillance, including a ban on invasive AI and facial recognition mass surveillance in public spaces 💪

Check it out here and let us know what you think: https://surveillanceaccountability.com

ICYMI, this week we interviewed Carissa Véliz, author of Privacy is Power and associate professor at the Institute for Ethics in AI at the University of Oxford.

We talked about predictive AI, lifelike chatbots, and the importance of preserving our privacy.

We’re going against the grain on this one, to acknowledge that proposal H.R. 8250 is not nearly as bad as past proposals like KOSA or the EU’s ID verification scheme. New video out now: Why Everyone's Got the 'Parents Decide Act' Wrong

I think this is true. And not requiring even “simple programming” in some cases. I started to use #n8n, and just doing that has saved me far more time and headache than AI ever will.

Of course, we publish to our website and PeerTube. However, if you use the YouTube mobile app, it’d be a great help if you “hyped” our new videos after watching them.

YouTube is still the primary way we reach new video audiences, and any positive signs we can give the algorithm will help spread the word.

Walmart is implementing digital price tags across all their stores by the end of the year.

We’re entering an era when the price you pay is not correlated to the cost of a product to stores, but “optimized” for the maximum amount you can personally afford.

Surveillance capitalism is what will actually create the “permanent underclass” some people are so worried about, and you’ll be affected more than you think.

We just had a chance to interview Carissa Véliz, author of 'Privacy is Power' and associate professor at the Institute for Ethics in AI at the University of Oxford.

We talked about how predictive AI will make a 'meritocracy' impossible, how lifelike chat bots are designed to deceive you, and the importance of privacy in the digital age. Catch the episode on our YouTube channel or your favorite podcast app now!

Carissa Véliz is an associate professor at the Institute for Ethics in AI at the University of Oxford, a renowned author and speaker, a board member of the Proton Foundation, and a member of UNESCO's Women 4 Ethical AI.

Her new book 'Prophecy' comes out April 21st and is now available for pre-order.

Prophecy is about how extensive use of predictive analytics is undermining our abilities to defy the odds, making systems unaccountable, and increasing risk in business and society while creating a false sense of security. https://www.privacyguides.org/videos/2026/04/19/interview-with-carissa-veliz-author-of-privacy-is-power-and-prophecy/

🚨 Live now:

In one hour, catch our interview with Cindy Cohn, EFF's outgoing Executive Director and prolific civil liberties attorney in the fight for digital rights.

Her first major case with the EFF, Bernstein v. United States, established the "right to code" and dismantled the USA's unconstitutional ban on encryption exports, paving the way for people to develop technologies like PGP and other strong encryption tools without having to register as an "arms dealer" and face government restrictions on publishing their ideas.

In her career since she's represented many historic cases: suing AT&T for secretly collaborating with the NSA (Hepting v. AT&T), Sony for installing malware DRM, a vote machine company abusing copyright law to silence criticism, the DVD Copy Control Association attacking freedom of speech, and many other fights against the NSA and for internet freedom.

Cohn has been with

for over 30 years, and succeeded Shari Steele to become EFF's Executive Director in 2015. Our interview discusses her works and legacy, the origins of the EFF, and the still-ongoing fight for privacy and digital liberties 💪
