Remember the EU #Chatcontrol proposal that would have Europol keep a registry of everyone with photos flagged as potential child sexual abuse material? Even false positives? They appear to have lost track of some very personal data: https://www.politico.eu/article/europol-internal-agency-eu-police-agency-engulfed-in-clean-up-over-missing-files/

The British Museum is suing a former curator it says stole 1,800 items and tried to sell them

The British Museum is suing a former curator alleged to have stolen hundreds of artifacts from its collections and offered them for sale online. Peter Higgs was fired last year after more than 1,800 items were discovered to be missing. Lawyers for the museum say Higgs “abused his position of trust” to steal ancient gems, gold jewelry and other items. The museum says it has recovered 356 of the missing items and hopes to get more back. A judge on Tuesday ordered Higgs to list or return any items in his possession within four weeks. She also ordered the disclosure of his eBay and PayPal records. Higgs denies the allegations. He did not attend court due to poor health.
