Transgender military lawsuit

mardi 29 août 2017 à 02:00

Transgender people in the US military have sued to block the troll's plan to dismiss some or all of them.

If the lawsuit succeeds, would it have any effect on the order not to allow trans people to join? I tend to think not.

Freedom to rally

mardi 29 août 2017 à 02:00

Why the ACLU still defends the freedom to rally for right-wing views that its lawyers and members despise.

Giving a few dozen companies arbitrary power over what people are allowed to say on line is a dangerous policy.

A couple of steps down the road, the right-wing trolls may force those companies to censor us.

Slavery reparations

Facial recognition in Germany

mardi 29 août 2017 à 02:00

Germany has set up a facial recognition surveillance system with the privacy protection that all such systems should be required to have: face images that don't match anyone in the search target database are immediately deleted.

To make an ethical system, we need a couple of additional points. A court order should be required to put someone's face in the database, and people should be informed when they are in the database so they can challenge the order.
