Police make 30 arrests a day for offensive online messages
The Times of London | April 4, 2025 | Charlie Parker, Yennah Smart, George Willoughby

The police are making more than 30 arrests a day over offensive posts on social media and other platforms.

Thousands of people are being detained and questioned for sending messages that cause “annoyance”, “inconvenience” or “anxiety” to others via the internet, telephone or mail.

Custody data obtained by The Times shows that officers are making about 12,000 arrests a year under section 127 of the Communications Act 2003 and section 1 of the Malicious Communications Act 1988.

The acts make it illegal to cause distress by sending “grossly offensive” messages or sharing content of an “indecent, obscene or menacing character” on an electronic communications network.

… as judged by Miss Emily Litella.

FBI and Microsoft Have Exciting New Idea

Posted by on

It excites them, anyway.

Why not have Ring ™ cameras in every room of your house, saving screen shots every three seconds, so that if something happens they will have ‘before’ and ‘after’ photos — for your convenience and safety ™?

Or they can just make them live.

On the internet. For good citizens to monitor.

Microsoft rolls out AI screenshot tool dubbed ‘privacy nightmare’
BBC News | 4/12/2025 | Imran Rahman-Jones

Microsoft has begun the rollout of an AI-powered tool which takes snapshots of users’ screens every few seconds.

The Copilot+ Recall feature is available in preview mode to some people with Microsoft’s AI PCs and laptops.

… or you can just have the FBI agent in a folding chair sit next to you.

“We’re now publicly announcing that we already have this ability, but we totally are refraining from using it unless you opt in.”

Side question: why would it have to be “AI-powered,” if all it requires is basically a few-second timer and a screen-capture command?
