Wolves on both sides. This is an interesting angle:

"While we were eager to find a solution," Facebook added. "HUD insisted on access to sensitive information — like user data — without adequate safeguards. We're disappointed by today's developments, but we'll continue working with civil rights experts on these issues."


Who wants to bet that FB only refused because HUD didn't wanna pay for it? LOL
And the cherry was when Zuck had the sand to declare there needs to be rules on how the internet works:

We should be decent enough to bail on our right-wing coups if they don't work within a week, time to accept that 'regime change' in Venezuela is the new 'CIA tries to kill Fidel.'

Decent isn't in this administration's vocabulary, I'm afraid.

I swear to god the man has dementia. There's no way he could be over two years on the job and not know Puerto Rico is a US territory, especially after how bad he botched the Maria response.

I really hate that I'm not surprised by this heinous fuckery, I'm sure in a month or two they'll ignore all sources and get these things full bore again.

Or worse, the microphone/speaker will go away from ankle bracelets but a subpoena will be placed to tap and listen in on the mics on your phone/TV/laptop/Alexa/fridge/Siri/dragon dildo/whatever. IANAL, but my understanding was that juveniles are more protected from surveillance than adults, so any of this could potentially be challenged in court.

Not to mention, Chicago already has a huge money problem - why are they wasting time and resources on expensive monitoring solutions that could be possibly illegal?
