“The idea that law enforcement would be masked and and therefore unaccountable to the people they are serving is really anathema to American values,” EFF’s @davidgreene told @technologyreview. https://www.technologyreview.com/2025/10/06/1124912/effort-track-ice-raids-offline/
Another effort to track ICE raids was just taken offline

People over Papers was removed by Padlet, the platform it was built on, yesterday.

@eff @davidgreene It is obvious this is going to have to not only be in-browser but hosted outside the US (and all other fash nations) and out of reach of DHS and all their thug comrades.

Everything will have to be done locally on one server with absolutely NO 3ed party tools both because those are takedown targets and because they can be used as trackers with a subpeona.

Yeah, i was going to say "You still think hosting a controversal website in a cloud in your country was a good choice?"

@eff @davidgreene @technologyreview There's a technical solution: give all these self-styled "law enforcement" types IDs they have to display. They can change the IDs each day, simply keeping a day-by-day record of who has what on a given day. Then if there are any abuses, the culprit can be tracked down. But you can't use the IDs to find where someone hangs out regularly as a means of identifying that person.

"I think Oracle has a secure solution for that" he said with a totally straight face.

@dontreportme @eff @davidgreene @technologyreview I have a secure solution for it too: a stand-alone computer used where they would hand out the IDs each day. The idea is simply to make them accountable. They can store permanent records by printing them and/or storing them on flash drives that are otherwise kept under lock and key.

Now I'm doing "let me explain why that was funny". I do this because my massive following loves it.

Well, Well, Well. It’s Another Day. (Oracle E-Business Suite Pre-Auth RCE Chain - CVE-2025-61882)

We bet you thought you’d be allowed to sit there, breathe, and savour the few moments of peace you’d earned after a painful week in cyber security. Obviously, you were horribly wrong, and you need to wake up now - we’re back, it’s all on fire,

@dontreportme @eff @davidgreene @technologyreview When they start a military-style raid on an apartment in a U.S. city, complete with helicopters and people rappelling to the roof in the middle of the night, we are at the stage where we have to hold ICE/whomever accountable.

If it was up to me, whoever authorized it would be thrown in jail for reckless endangerment.

Nazis were good at keeping records. I am not sure what the exercise is here since they won't follow your or my advice.

@dontreportme @eff @davidgreene @technologyreview Make it a campaign issue - accountability. That should be an easy thing to sell. Also, while the "Nazis were good at keeping records", I think you'll find that they regretted that record keeping once the Nuremberg trials started.

@eff @davidgreene @technologyreview Should we start building this and hosting it somewhere outside the US?
