The EFF reports that HTTPS is making it difficult for states to impose selective censorship via filtering, which leads states to turn to demanding that companies such as Facebook carry out the censorship for them.

The Supreme Court rejected racist gerrymandering in North Carolina.

Republicans aimed, in their usual way, to create a handicap against Democrats.

Banning neonicotinoid pesticides will be facilitated by a report showing that other solutions do as good a job.

Britons, don't react to terrorist bombings with fear and vindictiveness!

A public toilet in Beijing requires using a face recognition system to get toilet paper.

Some governments will spend lots of money to surveil people in the name of stinginess.

If there's anyone in Beijing that can't afford toilet paper, the city government should give out toilet paper for them. Why not put a box of rolls next to the toilet?
