The Burmese army is imprisoning writers and poets, sometimes killing them.

*How Apple’s AirTag turns us [captives of Apple] into unwitting spies in a vast surveillance network.*

Inevitably Apple will see where each user's tags are located, so the state will be able to see that too. However, the main danger I see is that of tracking other people or their property. The safeguards that are described won't prevent that.

Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, has voted to hire unarmed non-thugs to handle certain kinds of situations, including people having psychological crises. This change would presumably have prevented Daunte Wright from being killed.

Thugs object to some of the changes.

*There's a database whose mission is to stop problematic [thugs] from hopping between departments. But many agencies don't know it exists.*

*The FBI is supposed to track how police use force — years later, it’s falling well short.*

The article linked to just above displays symbolic bigotry by capitalizing "black" but not "white". (To avoid endorsing bigotry, capitalize both words or neither one.) I object to bigotry, and normally I decline to link to articles which promote it. But I make an exception for articles which give important information about racism or the fight to eliminate racism. That article is one of the exceptions.
