Waymo staff watching two teens through a cabin camera called 911 over a gun that fired water-filled Orbeez. Robotaxi cameras now feed both human reviewers and automated violation checks, so telling riders who is watching has become a design choice AV teams have to make on purpose.

Google's Android developer verification starts September 30 in Brazil, Indonesia, Singapore and Thailand, covering apps from any channel on certified devices. Developers shipping outside Play, F-Droid included, now need a plan for verified identity in those markets.

Flock Safety, through the security firm Doppel, filed a trademark complaint to take down Joshua Michael's map of 335,701 devices. The complaint leaves open how, by Michael's account, a Flock website handed an ArcGIS access token to visitors who never logged in.

California's under-16 feed ban starts on January 1, 2027, and the cheapest way to comply is an age signal built from a birth date the user typed at device setup. The EFF expects platforms to verify every adult instead.

Sensor Tower counted more than 900,000 downloads of Meta's Muse in its first week. Wired's reviewer found an agent that browses competently while its ideas tab keeps pitching a live link to the bank.
Reality
Techdirt reports that the deal embeds age gating across Meta's products and puts under-18 accounts on a daily clock with default content filters, and says TikTok and YouTube will be pressed to match it.
Reality
Deaths were found inside the advertised range of nearly two-thirds of the roughly 600 towers mapped, and more than 110 of them sit within range of Anduril's autonomous systems installed since 2021.

Times of San Diego found at least 138 sets of migrant remains inside the range of California's border cameras over four years, and an MIT Technology Review terrain analysis estimates more than half lay in open view.

MIT Technology Review's 15-month investigation had to assemble its own dataset from other groups' records and sheriff reports in 17 Texas counties. Some of those counties charged between $300 and $1,300 to fill a request.
Reality
Reporters covered nearly 600 of the 800 towers the government says are operating, and they had to assemble the map themselves from outside sources. Death records follow no shared protocol, so their count of more than 1,050 deaths nearby is a floor.
Reality
The investigation found deaths inside the advertised range of nearly two-thirds of the towers it analysed, and most of them were not in blind spots. In the New Mexico case it follows closely, landfill workers made the call to Border Patrol.

A Senate subcommittee will ask four camera vendors on Sept. 23 who has access to hundreds of millions of Americans' data. Verkada answered in writing first and said its chief executive cannot attend.
Reality
A unanimous Ninth Circuit panel held that Copilot generates code instead of retrieving files, so the DMCA claim in Doe v GitHub is out. The two breach-of-contract claims against GitHub, Microsoft and OpenAI are still running.
Reality
About half of Americans use chatbots anyway, and the Electronic Frontier Foundation's explanation for the pushback is procedural: AI features switched on by default, with no clear way for a user to turn them off.
Reality
Louis Rossmann's Own Your Shit tour spent the summer pointing crowds at Section 1201 of the DMCA, the 1998 provision that makes bypassing a manufacturer's lock illegal. His nonprofit Fulu pays for doing it anyway.
