Facial recognition company Clearview AI claims to be the vanguard of digital free speech. Its subpoenas targeting activists and organizations concerned about the company shows it’s the opposite: a speech-chilling bully. https://t.co/RHP4FHLd8k — PolitiTweet.org

Has anybody checked in on the Humboldt Sheriff’s Department in California? In response to a records request, it redacted its own press releases from years earlier. We’re concerned on so many levels. https://t.co/oObUkn6HHx — PolitiTweet.org

This year’s chilling gaslighter award goes to the Louisiana Attorney General, who sued a journalist in response to her public records request and then lied about it. The journalist won the case and got the records, natch. https://t.co/rPNEh13Bji — PolitiTweet.org

A perfect encapsulation of everything that’s wrong with FOIA: A retired journalist finally got documents he requested about a raid of a congressman’s home 12 years later—a delay that lasted longer than the politician’s prison term. https://t.co/BoaUmmfixp https://t.co/r2CCTTtMDk — PolitiTweet.org

With $1.158M, you could buy oceanfront property in Florida. Or you could pay the Pasco County Sheriff’s Department—this year’s winner of highest fee estimate—to produce records about a controversial policing program. https://t.co/EhXUX6UaVK — PolitiTweet.org

New Hampshire courts thought the name of a law enforcement vendor was so secret, they tripped over themselves keeping it out of the public record. We found the company’s name with a Google search. https://t.co/1rkkJ66MkG https://t.co/oMo0RHny50 — PolitiTweet.org

Who watches the government watchdogs? The FBI, apparently, which has long surveilled the National Security Archives, a vital nonprofit that sheds light on our military and intelligence agencies. https://t.co/xKTbLSwUiE — PolitiTweet.org

Although we love receiving a good old-fashioned letter, one Virginia lawmaker’s proposal to prohibit emailed public records requests—and require submissions via certified mail—was a terrible idea. https://t.co/trn6XIyRGn — PolitiTweet.org

UK Supreme Court denied Assange the right to appeal his extradition to the US. His prosecution on Espionage Act charges—which have never been used against people for journalistic activities—would irrevocably damage freedom of press and speech. Here's why: https://t.co/8gVKr1TnMd — PolitiTweet.org

It is not surprising that in times of crisis many people default to the most widely available system for staying in touch–the mobile network. But communicating over mobile networks comes with risks you should know about. https://t.co/gUcaocaNDM — PolitiTweet.org

Is there a law of space and time? Is time a construct? Massachusetts officials don’t care about the answer, so long as they get 11 days to meet the state’s 10-day deadline for public records responses. https://t.co/cLvlMjnFvw https://t.co/Qvl0k9x7ij — PolitiTweet.org

Wu-Tang Clan remains untouchable—not even a FOIA request could release their famed exclusive single-copy album, Once Upon a Time in Shaolin. But FOIA did free some redacted images of the album and its intricate case: https://t.co/NVz1XQR2HY https://t.co/9izkcbMcUa — PolitiTweet.org

Privacy laws that focus on children's privacy don't actually help anyone. EFF's @imck told @voxdotcom, “In order to verify somebody’s age, you have to collect a lot more information about them. How does that protect anybody’s privacy?” https://t.co/6G4rTnS2E7 — PolitiTweet.org
