From Napoléon to Macron: How France learned to love Big Brother

Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 20:57:52 GMT

PARIS — Liberté. Egalité. But mostly: sécurité. It all started with Napoléon Bonaparte. Over two centuries, France cobbled together a surveillance apparatus capable of intercepting private communications; keeping traffic and localization data for up to a year; storing people’s fingerprints; and monitoring most of the territory with cameras.This system, which has faced pushback from digital rights organizations and United Nations experts, will get its spotlight moment at the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics. In July next year, France will deploy large-scale, real-time, algorithm-supported video surveillance cameras — a first in Europe. (Not included in the plan: facial recognition.) Last month, the French parliament approved a controversial government plan to allow investigators to track suspected criminals in real-time via access to their devices’ geolocation, camera and microphone. Paris also lobbied in Brussels to be allowed to spy on reporters in the name of national security...

The Heat is On!

Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 20:57:52 GMT

Coming off of a beautiful weekend, our overall quiet pattern will roll on but it’s about to get hot! Let’s start off with the *mostly* quiet pattern… unfortunately I can’t say the next two days will be absolutely dry like yesterday was, but rain chances will remain low for both today (Monday) and Tuesday. We’ll bubble up a few storms each day, but it’s only a 20-30% chance so many of us will stay dry. It’s probably more likely you’ll see a shower or storm on Tuesday than today.The bigger story this week is about the heat! Temperatures were warm over the weekend and we only climb from there. Temperatures will head to the mid to upper 80s today (low 80s on the Cape) but it will be tolerable outside because the humidity will stay relatively low.Humidity will climb the next few days along with the temperatures. I don’t think it’ll get as bad as it was earlier this month and even the end of June with multiple days with dew point...

Lucas: Targeting Trump makes him stronger

Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 20:57:52 GMT

Donald Trump ought to report his latest pending indictment as an in-kind campaign contribution.An in-kind contribution is when a thing of value is given or loaned to influence a federal election.Giving a storefront for headquarters to a candidate would be an in-kind contribution, for instance. It is a thing of value.Sometimes it is better than cash.The latest thing of “value” granted Trump is the overwhelming amount of media attention he is getting related to the letter he received from the Justice Department last Sunday.Trump is probably better known around the world than Joe Biden.The letter informed Trump that he is a target of the department’s investigation into efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election, an election that Trump maintains was “rigged.”Such a letter is an indication that Democrat headhunter Jack Smith, the special counsel, will seek to indict Trump any day now.The charges could include   conspiracy and obstruction of an official proceeding, ...

China urges Japan not to disrupt chip industry after technology curbs take effect

Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 20:57:52 GMT

BEIJING (AP) — China’s government appealed to Japan on Monday not to disrupt the semiconductor industry after curbs on exports of Japanese chip-making technology took effect, adding to technology restrictions Washington and its allies have imposed on China on security grounds.The Japanese restrictions that took effect Sunday limit Chinese access to tools for etching microscopically small circuits on advanced chips for smartphones, artificial intelligence and other applications. The Netherlands also joined the United States in limiting access to chipmaking tools that Washington says could be used to develop weapons.“We are deeply dissatisfied and regret the act,” said a foreign ministry spokesperson, Mao Ning. She urged Japan to “prevent relevant measures from interfering with the normal semiconductor industry cooperation between the two countries.”The ruling Communist Party has invested billions of dollars in building Chinese chip foundries but needs Western and Japanese technology ...

Specter of right wing entering Spanish government fades after inconclusive national election

Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 20:57:52 GMT

MADRID (AP) — Spain may be facing political gridlock and possibly a new election, but a national ballot produced one result that will be welcomed across the capitals of Europe: a far-right party aiming to get its hands on the levers of power was thwarted.Spain’s Vox party, with its ultranationalist bent, lost support among voters in Sunday’s election, dashing its hopes to be a kingmaker and enter a governing coalition that would have given the far right its first share of power in Spain since Francisco Franco’s 20th century dictatorship. The mainstream conservative Popular Party won the election, but performed well below polling data that had forecast it could oust Socialist Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez if it formed a government with Vox as a junior partner. Even though Sánchez’s Socialists finished second, they and their allied parties celebrated the outcome as a victory since their combined forces gained slightly more seats than the Popular Party and Vox. The bloc that would...
