Mahmoud's reflections in the Telegraph of a British #Panoptician appear to be getting very little attention from the MSM

'“When I was in justice, my ultimate vision for that part of the criminal justice system was to achieve, by means of AI and technology, what Jeremy Bentham tried to do with his Panopticon. That is that the eyes of the state can be on you at all times.' http://archive.today/2026.01.20-114515/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/01/18/criminals-stopped-minority-report-style-policing-plans-ai/

I think the word you're looking for is #overreach

Two Minneapolis residents, monitoring immigration enforcement, say they were detained without charges for hours in distressing conditions, denied calls, and pressured to identify protest organizers and undocumented neighbors. Their accounts suggest DHS is using tactics like warrantless arrests, patrols, and aggressive force similar to other cities’ crackdowns, violating protesters’ First Amendment rights. One was even offered money or legal protection to betray others, exposing intimidation efforts. DHS has yet to comment. These reports raise serious concerns about civil liberties and federal overreach amid aggressive immigration tactics in the Twin Cities. Want more details?

Last year, Flock introduced AI features to Condor cameras that automatically zoom in on people as they walk by. In Flock’s announcement of this feature, it explained that this technology “zooms in on a suspect exiting one car, stealing an item from another, and returning to his vehicle. Every detail is captured, providing invaluable evidence for investigators.” On several of the exposed feeds, we saw Flock cameras repeatedly zooming in on and tracking random people as they walked by. The cameras can be controlled by AI or manually.  
The exposure highlights the fact that Flock is not just surveilling cars—it is surveilling people, and in some cases it is doing so in an insecure way, and highlight the types of places that its Condor cameras are being deployed. Condor cameras are part of Flock’s ever-expanding quest to “prevent crime,” and are sometimes integrated with its license plate cameras, its gunshot detection microphones, and its automated camera drones.

"The prime minister said the government "adopts and fully supports" the antisemitism envoy's recommendations ...".

Will this have Australian's free speech gone and them unable to criticise Israel doing ethnic cleansing and genocide?

The EU Council finally decided that privacy is overrated and what we really need is more government-sponsored peeping! 🙈🔍 Forget free speech, it's 2023 and Big Brother is hungry for your chats. 🍿✨

Except backdoored hardware.

Or physical surveillance at the source.

Or the combination of a spying OS and a locked-down bootloader.

Expect that to be the next big battle.

“This country has a longstanding & foundational tradition of resistance to #government #overreach, especially in the form of #military intrusion into #civil affairs,” Immergut wrote, later adding, “This historical tradition boils down to a simple proposition: this is a nation of #ConstitutionalLaw, not #MartialLaw.”

But several senators, #Democrats & some #Republicans, as well as #HumanRights groups questioned the legality of Trump’s action. They called it a *potential* [frickin obvious] #overreach of #ExecutiveAuthority in part because the #military was used for #LawEnforcement purposes [#PosseComitatusAct].
By claiming his campaign against drug cartels is an active “armed conflict”, #Trump appears to be [illegally] claiming extraordinary wartime powers to justify his action.

‘#NoKings’ Unveils a Big New #Trump Protest, and the Stakes Couldn’t Be Higher

A movement leader tells Rolling Stone about the #NoKings2 demonstrations on #October18, and how they can curb Trump’s #overreach

by Tim Dickinson, September 8, 2025

"America’s pro-democracy movement is gearing up for what may be its biggest mass-demonstration yet against the increasingly #militaristic Trump administration — which has sent armed troops to occupy the nation’s capital and is threatening to do the same in large cities from Chicago to New Orleans.
Popular resistance in Trump’s second term has snowballed, in an organic fashion, from a large President’s Day protest in February, through mass demonstrations in April, to the first 'No Kings' protest on Trump’s birthday in June — which drew millions to counter the president’s tin-pot military birthday parade.

"After a series of smaller summer protests, the movement will be back in the streets and squares and center cities of America, en masse, in October for No Kings 2 — a sequel organizers are expecting to outshine the original, amid revulsion to Trump’s brutal campaign of mass deportation led by masked agents of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (#ICE), and an increasingly lawless president who claims 'a lot' of Americans would 'like a dictator.'

"No Kings 2 is being organized by a big tent of grassroots and advocacy organizations. One of the most prominent players is #Indivisible, the activist group that sprang to life in the early days of the first Trump administration, and which now counts 2,500 distributed, local chapters nationwide.

"Rolling Stone spoke to Indivisible co-founder #EzraLevin last week, in advance of No Kings 2 unveiling on Monday. The protest is planned for October 18 — in the aftermath of an unpredictable showdown over government funding that could lead to a #PartialGovernmentShutdown by the end of the month.

"Levin says the stakes of the protests have never been more urgent, and that organizers are expecting record numbers of #protesters to raise their voices for democracy and against the threats of #dictatorship."

Just something to consider, for all reading as well. The cost of "Free" services!

I have used outlook.com for calendaring and Onedrive. Now that I'm blocked, not willing to share data whatever/whenever they please, I have none of these services. Funny eh?

A stark reminder on "Free services", if you don't own (or run) the product, THEY get to set the rules.

I am going to plan a more self-hosted enviroment. This kind of Big Tech overreach is just NOT acceptable for me.

#Illinois Gov #JBPritzker & #Chicago Mayor #BrandonJohnson, both #Democrats, hit back at #Trump in comments Friday….

“After using #LosAngeles & #WashingtonDC as his testing ground for #authoritarian #overreach, Trump is now openly flirting with the idea of taking over other #states & #cities. Trump’s goal is to incite fear in our communities & destabilize existing public safety efforts—all to create a justification to further abuse his power,” Pritzker said.
