The Chicago Sun-Times reports:
When Elgin Community College hired Flock Safety to install six surveillance cameras in April 2025, President Peggy Heinrich thought they would "enhance the safety and security of students...." They were supposed to help locate stolen cars and missing people. But Heinrich started to wonder if the cameras were actually making students less safe after seeing news reports that data captured by Flock cameras in Illinois had been shared with U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Then in September 2025, Immigration and Customs Enforcement detained an Elgin Community College student in a campus parking lot. More than half of students at the far west suburban Chicago campus identify as Latino. Heinrich said enrollment dipped. Students were afraid to come to class. College officials decided the cameras had to go...
College officials asked Flock to remove the surveillance cameras "out of an abundance of caution for our students," Heinrich said. But getting the cameras taken down was not as simple as it sounds, especially because Flock retains ownership of the company's equipment.... Surveillance experts say the company is financially incentivized to have as many cameras gathering data as possible even in places that no longer want them, because potential clients are looking for the surveillance network with the greatest reach.... Elgin Community College staff notified Flock in October 2025 that they wanted to cancel their contract and have the cameras taken down. Within a day, Heinrich said, Flock rejected the request and refused to uninstall the equipment on the basis that the company had not breached their agreement.
College officials reached out again in December 2025 and said they would pay for the remaining five months of the contract — they just wanted the cameras taken down. "We never received a response back from Flock," Heinrich said.
That's when things got weird. 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... This strange dance continued, Heinrich said, until Elgin Community College's contract with Flock expired in April this year and the company uninstalled the cameras for good.

Veel muzikanten kijken kritisch of argwanend naar AI, zoals ook schrijvers, illustratoren, filmmakers en andere creatievelingen dat doen. Maar er zijn nog maar weinig protestsongs tegen AI, bij mijn weten. Dit is er eentje, van Art d’Ecco uit Vancouver. Hij heeft het niet op de techbro’s, dat is duidelijk. Logisch dus dat hij geen AI gebruikte om ze op te laten draven in zijn video. Waarom zou hij ook? De ouderwetse methode van acteurs met maskers werkt zeker zo goed. Dat geldt ook voor de low budget manier om een datacenter te verbeelden aan het eind van de video.

OSLO (ANP) - Springruiter Harrie Smolders is goed begonnen aan het nieuwe wereldbekerseizoen. De 46-jarige Nederlander eindigde in Oslo als tweede met zijn 17-jarige ruin Monaco. De zege ging naar de Oostenrijker Max Kühner. De Zwitser Martin Fuchs werd derde.
"Het voelt fantastisch. Monaco heeft gedaan wat hij altijd doet en weer een tweede plaats toegevoegd aan zijn palmares. Hij is echt een machine", reageerde Smolders via de Nederlandse paardensportbond KNHS.
Met „onjuiste frames” over onder meer de dienstplicht zou Stop de Oorlogskoorts jongeren angst aanjagen. Dat zeggen de voorzitters van de jongerenpartijen van CDA, D66 en VVD. „De vrijwillige keuze blijft gewaarborgd – tenzij bij wijze van spreken de Russen op de stoep staan.”
