A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

“This is the most extreme type of monitoring that I’ve seen,” says Pilar Weiss, founder of the National Bail Fund Network, a network of over 90 community bail and bond funds across the United States. “It’s part of a disturbing trend where deep surveillance and social control applications are used pretrial with little oversight.”

This is some CCP shit.

Absolutely

I despise the CCP not with one but with for passions, for all the shit they did and still do, and because it seems they won't be paying for all their crimes anytime soon.

But by pulling these shenanigans, the US gets closer and closer to the CCP, which they denounce every chance they get, this making it progressively more difficult for people from everywhere else to justify their support for the US, if not as the champion of freedom, at least as the lesser evil.

They are still far ahead of China in human rights and law abiding, but the gap is closing with shit like this and increasing inequality.

Please do something about it.
