Guest Gist: Everything Everywhere All at Once: Crime and Justice in the Age of Total Surveillance

Every face is now a registration plate. Detection is less about gathering clues and more about querying databases. Where is our surveilled society bringing us? From Digital Rights Ireland's director Antoin O Lachtnain, this is the Guest Gist.

The letter stated that, in March 2026, Meta filed a sanctions motion alleging that Wynn-Williams violates the emergency arbitration order “any time she appears in public in a place where she should know that her book is available for sale and her presence might draw attention to it”.

Apparently we reached the state of #Thoughtcrime punishment, it's called #precrime and on virustotal. Microsoft and Sophos just "blocked" (aka content filter says it's porn... whuat?) a friend's website because the #AI was suspicious of his AI website probably because on #Virustotal PreCrime is flagging it as will-be-malicious-in-the-future.

I want my Internet back.

Up and did hie me to the Little Theatre in #Bath after noon to catch a performance of the moving picure titled 'Orwell: 2 + 2 = 5.'

Bleak yet with a kernel of hope, it is a documentary narrated in Orwell's own words about the writing of his dystopian novel '1984.'

Hitler features large of course but every dictatorial despot and wannabee ideologue has a walk-on part, including one Donald J. Trump.

It's still a warning not a DIY handbook.
