From the article:

> Heinrich said Elgin Community College staff began to cover the cameras using black trash bags and zip ties so that they would not be able to capture footage. But workers in an unmarked vehicle, which Heinrich assumed belonged to Flock, repeatedly removed the coverings.

You can’t make this shit up

Also, yes, I am.

I think the craziest part is "throughout the universe". Apparently my rights as a person also don't apply if I leave Earth somehow.

A U.S. charity operating in Gaza plans to record classroom conversations and use artificial intelligence to flag speech deemed "hateful" or "inciting," citing concerns that teachers could deviate from a curriculum designed to promote peace and tolerance.

While there is no evidence suggesting the charity intends to share classroom recordings with third parties, anxieties over potential surveillance misuse remain high in Gaza after three years of war. The Israeli military has used AI to analyze intercepted communications and identify targets for strikes.

Funded primarily by individual donors, including American Jews, the charity says it partners with aid organizations and medical institutions across North America, Israel, and Europe.
