Emily Williams, ICCL’s Policing & Justice Policy Officer, spoke to RTÉ yesterday about the death of Mr Yves Sakila. We are very concerned about the disproportionate and excessive use of force and are calling for swift, thorough and transparent investigations by An Garda Síochána and Fiosrú.

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.

Finally, watch @tjmcintyre.com recommend to the committee that, moving forward, the sections of the Bill that are not required under NIS2 should be dropped to allow for the straightforward transposition of NIS2 and then the State can consider what else is necessary. (15/15)

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.

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.

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)

While ICCL broadly welcomes The Garda Powers Bill, we are concerned that there are no definitions of specific types of searches or what rank of gardaí is can authorise each type; insuficient record of stop and searches; and there is insufficient protection of journalistic privilege.

Here @tjmcintyre.com explains why it’s so problematic that the Bill is putting the NCSC - which is being given very broad powers - under the direct political control of the Minister. (14/15)

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)

In short, they agreed. (13/15)

Wait for it... 😂

"Trump’s approval rating is at an all-time low, and yet his candidates are mopping the floor with their opponents? The vote data in both Rep. Massie’s (R-KY) and Sen. Cassidy’s (R-LA) races falls well outside expected variance. Rep. Al Green’s (D-TX) data also appears anomalous."
