🔔 Ring’s Face Scan Plan | EFFector 37.16

Cozy up next to the fireplace and we’ll catch you up on the latest digital rights news with EFF’s EFFector newsletter.

In our latest issue, we’re exposing surveillance logs that reveal racist policing; explaining the harms of Google’s plan for Android app gatekeeping; and continuing our new series, Gate Crashing, exploring how the internet empowers people to take nontraditional paths into the traditional worlds of journalism, creativity, and criticism.

Prefer to listen in? Check out our audio companion, where EFF Staff Attorney Mario Trujillo explains why Ring’s upcoming facial recognition tool could violate the privacy rights of millions of people. Catch the conversation on YouTube or the Internet Archive.

The newsletter is chock full of links to updates, announcements, blog posts, and other stories to help keep readers—and listeners—up to date on the movement to protect online privacy and free expression.
