Time and time again, we’ve seen police surveillance suffer from ‘mission creep’—technology sold as a way to prevent heinous crimes ends up enforcing traffic violations, tracking protestors, and more. In our latest EFFector newsletter, we’re diving into this troubling pattern and sharing all the latest in the fight for privacy and free speech online.
