Flock Drones With Cameras Deployed as First Responders in Some US Cities Amid Privacy Concerns — UAVs Stream Video to Dispatchers, Officers
I can’t wait to see the mishaps from these drones. They could put a lot more officers on the streets, or double them up in vehicles for what these systems cost. The dystopian surveillance state future is fast approaching though.…
Rand Paul Blocks Rushed Attempt To Pass KOSA Without A Vote
The US is problematic for getting in digital ID, but they’re working on it. And the Mark of the Beast system is inevitable, but we can push it out until after the Rapture at least. For a measure framed…
Wyoming Lawmakers Warned That Besides License Plates, Tech Can Track Faces, Phones
A promising start, and it will show just how captured the legislature is by where this goes. If it goes too far, I’d bet we see the governor veto it on his way out. And some of these cameras are…
Trump, Tech Leaders Sign White House Accord on ‘Super Intelligence’
This is a serious psyop, as these people don’t care about humanity as they serve humanity’s enemy. The switch to “Super Intelligence” is kind of funny as these systems aren’t sentient with no real intelligence. To take the whole thing…

TikTok Agrees to “Age Verification” for All Users in Alabama Settlement
They’re trolling us with all of this, as they don’t care about children and allow them to be abused on so many fronts. It’s all about age verification on the march towards digital ID. Though, some of the restrictions on…
F-Droid Grew Up. Not Everything Came With It.
A very detailed article on the new version of F-Droid, but I’m also testing out Obtainium. The hardcore privacy types have moved to Obtainium that lets you install apps directly from developers, e.g. their Github, Gitlab, HTTPS… F-Droid compiles the…
Obtainium
Privacy Guides was recommending this over F-Droid as well as working on their own verification app if I remember correctly from their podcast as I was playing a game, and it looks pretty promising for installing apps directly from their…
