Nonfree software in ATMs and vending machines
ATMs and vending machines in Russia run nonfree software — the
machines' owners cannot fix them.
We might argue that it is ok for banks and companies in Russia to be
attacked in this way, as punishment for Putin's invasion of Ukraine;
but I expect the same attack vector exists in most or all other
countries too. |

Offering too much to free US citizens would put more citizens in danger
Offering too much to other countries to free US citizens would put
more US citizens in danger.
In my view, a patriotic citizen (of any country) does not ask its
government to procure per release from a foreign prison through
concessions that could affect the well-being or interests of the
country. I am surprised by the expectation that the head of state
personally involve perself in such negotiations. |

National store chain agreed to stop using facial recognition
After public criticism, a national store chain in Australia agreed to
stop using facial recognition on customers.
Sad that the organization that criticized this undermined itself by
suggesting that maybe this tracking would not be so bad if the company
had better informed customers about it.
If the customers were well informed about the practice, the company
could argue that they had implicitly consented to being tracked. That
means nothing — it is no excuse for establishing universal tracking!
Even explicit consent from millions of people would be no excuse.
Systematic tracking of people is the soil in which repression grows,
and that is an injustice to everyone. |
