Senator Lynn Ruane asked attendees if they believed the powers provided under the Bill cross the line from cybersecurity measures into surveillance powers. (12/15)

He also explains how Head 9 would allow the NCSC to compel communications providers, such as WhatsApp and iMessage, to install surveillance devices on their networks to scoop up metadata of every user of the service on the basis of ‘national security’. (7/15)

Olga Cronin, ICCL Senior Policy Officer, spoke at the AI Committee this week, highlighting the work we have done with Digital Rights Ireland to urge An Garda Síochána, Coimisúin Na Meán and the DPC to fully investigate Grok’s faciitation of the creation of CSAM and other illegal and harmful content.

Olga Cronin, ICCL Senior Policy Officer, spoke at the Oireachtas AI Committee recently, where she shared our position on recommender algorithms and a social media ban for under 16s.

In short, they agreed. (13/15)

Watch @tjmcintyre.com explain how Head 7 would give the NCSC very wide powers to block access to websites and how 8 would give it the unprecedented power to scan and store the entirety of the network traffic in public sector bodies, which could include the contents of politicians’ emails. (5/15)

Watch @tjmcintyre.com explain why having no definition of 'national security' anywhere in Irish law means this could lead the NCSC to have a very open-ended power, left to the discretion of the Minister, to order the surveillance of the communications of everyone in the State. (9/15)

Watch @tjmcintyre.com tell the committee how Head 6 would allow the NCSC to scan any publicly accessible network or information system for vulnerabilities - without their knowledge or consent - including small businesses, NGOs, homes, or politicians’ offices. (3/15)

A new Bill would give gardaí access to the CCTV of public bodies without any authorisation process. It would also allow areas with "a pattern of criminal activity" be designated Crime Prevention Zones. This is a concerning attempt to remove the safeguards which prevent inappropriate use of CCTV.

What Stephen Miller is describing is a world in which Iran is doing exactly what it should be doing. That's the only place this kind of barbarism can go.

Whipps Cross Hospital hosted the Crampsta period pain simulator! The contrast was wild: men were shocked by the extreme pain, while women normalized it during long shifts. We have to make men aware of what women experience monthly and make it ok to have sick leaves when needed.

In the business world, professionals look out for new trends and best practices to stay competitive. Our voting systems' security should be no different. If you've read our 2025 Canadian Federal Election report, then you may already know that the US could borrow some notes from Canada:

“I have the right to speak out, to make a sign and peacefully join a protest without fear of punishment or retribution or worse.” – Actress Sally Field Our rights are enshrined in the Constitution. Period.

In both Virginia and Alabama, the people have voted in special and primary elections. But the courts are deciding whether it counted. Democracy Docket Legal Content Editor Ashley Cleaves explains how the redistricting fights in these states are strikingly similar.

❌ “ #Israël does not represent the #Jëwish people. #Judaïsm is a faith, not a flag, not a government, not a nation state. #Anti-Zïonism is NOT #Anti-sëmitism. #Zïonism is not #Judaïsm. #Israël is not the state of the #Jëws. Being #Anti-Zïonist and #Anti-Israëli does not make you #Anti-Sëmitic "

Micromanagement and rigid command structures slowly shut employees down. When people feel unheard or punished for initiative, they stop contributing ideas and simply wait for instructions. They may still show up physically, but mentally, they’ve already checked out.
