Fight for press freedom as ICE attacks Chicago
Press freedom wins in Chicago court, but fight continues
Chicago journalists won a big First Amendment victory Oct. 9, when a federal court temporarily curbed federal officers’ abuses at protests. But the fight isn’t over.
The order still allows officers to potentially remove journalists along with protesters, a serious threat to press freedom that must be fixed.
We also can’t rely on courts alone. Local officials must step up, especially to protect independent journalists, who’ve been the main targets of these violations.
That’s why Freedom of the Press Foundation (FPF) led a coalition letter urging the Broadview, Illinois, Police Department and Illinois State Police to investigate attacks on independent journalists covering protests.

Strengthen presidential library transparency
A segment on “Last Week Tonight with John Oliver” about corruption and secrecy surrounding presidential libraries cited FPF’s Lauren Harper, who has been warning about Trump’s purported library since before his inauguration.
Oliver is right. Secret donations to presidential libraries enable bribery, while public access to presidential records is at an all-time low. Use our action center tool to tell Congress to close the secrecy loopholes and increase transparency.
Army lawyer thinks journalists are stenographers
The Pentagon attempted to walk back its policy restricting reporters from publishing news the government doesn’t authorize. But the revised policy is still a nonstarter to which no journalist should agree.
Meanwhile, a nominee for general counsel for the Department of the Army, Charles L. Young III, effectively endorsed the unconstitutional restrictions during a Senate hearing this week, opining that the First Amendment authorizes the government to punish journalists for publishing information that it did not approve for public release.
That’s disqualifying. A journalist’s job isn’t to keep the government’s secrets. It’s to report news the government does not want reported.
Tell Congress to reject Young’s nomination.
State Department must stand up for journalists detained on flotillas
Israel continues to hold American journalists captured in international waters aboard aid flotillas. The latest are Jewish Currents reporter Emily Wilder and Drop Site News reporter Noa Avishag Schnall. Previously, Israel detained Drop Site News reporter Alex Colston, who has said he and other detainees were abused and denied medical care.
But the State Department is doing little if anything about these detainments, presumably because the journalists in question don’t agree with the administration’s policies. Lawmakers need to raise their voices and pressure the administration to do more.

Student journalists fight Trump’s anti-speech deportations
It’s not every day a student newspaper takes on the federal government. But that’s exactly what The Stanford Daily is doing.
The Daily sued Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem in August over the Trump administration’s push to deport foreign students for exercising free speech, like writing op-eds and attending protests.
We spoke at the start of Stanford University’s fall term with Editor-in-Chief Greta Reich about why the Daily is fighting back. Read more here.
It’s time to end the SEC gag rule
We’ve written before about the unconstitutionality of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s “gag rule,” which bars those who settle with the SEC from talking to reporters, to protect the SEC’s reputation.
We shouldn’t need to say this, but the government doesn’t get to censor its critics to make itself look good. Last week, we filed a legal brief explaining to a federal appellate court why the ridiculous rule must be struck down. Read the brief here.
What we’re reading
ICE goes masked for a single reason (The New York Times). FPF’s Adam Rose tells the Times that immigration officers “seem to feel they can just willy-nilly shoot tear gas canisters at people and shoot them with foam rounds that can permanently maim people.”
The New York Times wins right to obtain info Musk wanted kept private (The New Republic). A court ruled that the public’s interest in knowing if Elon Musk has a security clearance and access to classified information outweighs any potential privacy interests.
Press Freedom Partnership newsletter (The Washington Post). “Journalists who are considering covering the story are going to think twice about it and stay home because they don’t want to be jailed and shot. It’s a major problem,” we told the Post about law enforcement targeting journalists covering anti-deportation protests in and around Chicago.
Journalism has become more challenging, for reporters and sources (Sentient). Sources have backed out of news stories — even seemingly uncontroversial ones — out of fear of being targeted by the Trump administration.
MAGA slams ‘fake news’ but embraces ‘The Benny Show’s’ misinformation (Straight Arrow News). “Plenty of past presidents would have loved to exclude serious journalists … and bring in the Benny Johnsons of their time. They just were under the impression that the public wouldn’t tolerate that,” we told Straight Arrow News. Now it’s up to the public to prove those past presidents right and the current one wrong.
A Function Generator From The Past
It’s always a pleasure to find a hardware hacker who you haven’t seen before, and page back through their work. [Bettina Neumryr]’s niche comes in building projects from old electronics magazines, and her latest, a function generator from the British Everyday Electronics magazine in April 1983, is a typical build.
The project uses the XR2206 function generator chip, a favourite of the time. It contains a current controlled oscillator and waveform shaper, and can easily produce square, triangle, and sine waves. It was always a puzzle back in the day why this chip existed as surely the global market for function generators can’t have been that large, however a little bit of background reading for this write-up reveals that its intended application was for producing frequency-shift-keyed sinusoidal tones.
The EE project pairs the XR2206 with an op-amp current generator to control the frequency, and another op-amp as an amplifier and signal conditioner. The power supply is typical of the time too, a mains transformer, rectifier, and linear regulators. There are a pair of very period PCBs supplied as print-outs in the magazine for home etching. This she duly does, though with toner transfer which would have been unheard of in 1983. After a few issues with faulty pots and a miswired switch, she has a working function generator which she puts in a very period project box.
It’s interesting to look at this and muse on what’s changed in electronic construction at our level in the last four decades. The PCB is single sided and has that characteristic yellow of ferric chloride etching, it takes up several times the space achievable with the same parts on the professionally-made dual-sided board designed using a modern PCB CAD package we’d use today. A modern take on the same project would probably use a microcontroller and a DAC, and a small switch-mode supply for less money than that transformer would provide the power. But we like the 1983 approach, and we commend [Bettina] for taking it on. The full video is below the break.

Microsoft Defender segnala erroneamente SQL Server 2019 in End Of Life
Sappiamo bene che la fine del supporto dei prodotti (End of Life) comporta rischi di sicurezza e l’accumulo di vulnerabilità, poiché i produttori smettono di rilasciare patch correttive. Tuttavia, avviare un replatforming con cinque anni di anticipo appare una scelta forse eccessiva.
Microsoft sta lavorando per correggere un bug nella sua piattaforma di sicurezza aziendale Defender for Endpoint che causava la segnalazione errata da parte del software di sicurezza di SQL Server 2017 e 2019 come “obsoleti”.
BleepingComputer segnala che l’interruzione ha interessato i clienti di Defender XDR già mercoledì mattina. Microsoft stessa conferma che SQL Server 2019 sarà supportato fino a gennaio 2030 e SQL Server 2017 fino a ottobre 2027.
L’errore si è verificato a causa di un recente aggiornamento del codice relativo al sistema di rilevamento dei programmi “di fine supporto” (EoL), ovvero programmi il cui periodo di supporto è scaduto.
Di conseguenza, Defender ha contrassegnato erroneamente le versioni correnti di SQL Server come obsolete. “Gli utenti con SQL Server 2019 e 2017 installati potrebbero visualizzare etichette errate nella sezione Gestione minacce e vulnerabilità. Abbiamo già iniziato a distribuire una correzione che annullerà le modifiche errate”, ha riferito Microsoft.
L’azienda ha chiarito che il problema potrebbe riguardare tutti i clienti che utilizzano SQL Server 2017 e 2019, ma che si tratta di un incidente di portata limitata. Microsoft ha promesso di pubblicare un programma per l’implementazione completa della correzione non appena sarà pronta. Non è la prima volta che Defender for Endpoint risponde erroneamente agli aggiornamenti.
Una settimana prima, il prodotto aveva identificato erroneamente il BIOS di alcuni dispositivi Dell come obsoleto, richiedendo un aggiornamento inesistente.
All’inizio di settembre, l’azienda ha affrontato un altro problema: i falsi positivi del suo servizio antispam, che impedivano agli utenti di Exchange Online e Microsoft Teams di aprire i link nelle e-mail e nelle chat. Sembra che gli ingegneri Microsoft abbiano avuto un autunno particolarmente caldo.

Court backs Chicago reporters, but leaves door open for dispersals
A federal judge just reminded the government that the First Amendment still applies in Chicago.
On Oct. 9, Chicago journalists and protesters scored a major legal win, when Judge Sara Ellis issued a temporary restraining order reigning in federal officers’ repeated First Amendment violations at protests.
It’s a big victory for press freedom. The order prohibits arrests and use of physical force against journalists and restricts the use of dangerous crowd-control munitions. It defines “journalists” broadly, in a way that includes independent, freelance, and student reporters. It also enhances transparency by requiring federal officers to wear “visible identification,” like a unique serial number.
This order and similar rulings in Los Angeles last month are powerful reminders that journalists working together can vindicate their rights in the courts. They also highlight the crucial role that independent journalists and smaller news organizations play in defending press freedom. In both Chicago and Los Angeles, it’s been freelancers, community news outlets, local press clubs, and unions who’ve taken the lead, teaming up with protesters, legal observers, and clergy to take the government to court.
Unconstitutional dispersals of press still possible
But the fight isn’t over. The Chicago order unfortunately leaves open the possibility that, at least in some instances, federal officers may order journalists to leave areas where protests are being broken up or officers are attacking protesters.
Although the order prohibits dispersal of journalists from protests as a general matter, it also states that officers can “order” journalists to “change location to avoid disrupting law enforcement,” as long as they have “an objectively reasonable time to comply and an objectively reasonable opportunity to report and observe.” (In contrast, a similar order in Los Angeles states only that federal officers may “ask” journalists to change location.)
Federal officers are likely to use this as a loophole to continue to violently remove the press from protests, on the pretext that it’s necessary to avoid disruption. The order’s requirement that press must be able to continue to report and observe is also too lax; far better would have been an order specifically requiring that press be able to continue to see and hear the protest and law enforcement response.
Even when police can disperse protesters who break the law, the First Amendment doesn’t allow them to disperse journalists, too.
The weaker language around dispersals of journalists in the court’s order is a shame, especially for the public’s right to know. In recent days, Chicago journalists have been reporting about the violent tactics used by federal agents to disperse protests. If journalists can be ordered to leave alongside protesters, they can’t observe what’s happening or capture the images they need to keep the public informed.
It also makes dispersals more dangerous for protesters. As Unraveled Press noted, “Again and again, we’ve seen cops are most likely to get more violent with demonstrators when out of public view.” (Unraveled Press co-founder Raven Geary is a plaintiff in the Chicago lawsuit.) And while the court’s order prohibits dispersal orders aimed at peaceful protesters, if federal officers violate that order and also disperse the press to avoid a “disruption,” it will be much harder for the public to learn about it.
By declining to simply prohibit federal officers from dispersing the press, except when necessary to serve an essential government need such as public safety, the court also got the law wrong. Even when police can disperse protesters who break the law, the First Amendment doesn’t allow them to disperse journalists, too.
We’re not the only ones who say so. Just last year, the Department of Justice issued guidance stating as much:
“In the case of mass demonstrations, there may be situations—such as dispersal orders or curfews—where the police may reasonably limit public access. In these circumstances, to ensure that these limitations are narrowly tailored, the police may need to exempt reporters from these restrictions. …”
The DOJ also said so in a previous report, reprimanding the Minneapolis Police Department for its suppression of protesters and the press following George Floyd’s murder:
“The First Amendment requires that any restrictions on when, where, and how reporters gather information ‘leave open ample alternative channels’ for gathering the news. Blanket enforcement of dispersal orders and curfews against press violates this principle because they foreclose the press from reporting about what happens after the dispersal or curfew is issued, including how police enforce those orders.”
And in an important decision from 2020, the federal court of appeals in the 9th Circuit also disapproved of blanket dispersal orders being enforced against the press. That case arose from very similar circumstances to those today: federal authorities abusing the First Amendment while policing federal property during Black Lives Matter protests in Portland, Oregon.
In the 2020 case, the 9th Circuit affirmed a legal order that exempted journalists from general dispersal orders issued by the federal government. Journalists, it wrote, “cannot be punished for the violent acts of others.”
These authorities make it clear: Journalists cannot be ordered to move simply because it would be more convenient for officers. Journalists can only be dispersed if it’s essential to a compelling government interest, and only if they continue to have another vantage point from which they can see and hear what’s going on in order to report.
It’s frustrating that the court’s order leaves the door open for the government to evade this well-established principle. But the fight isn’t over. The court’s temporary restraining order is just a first step. When it issues a more permanent ruling, it will have another opportunity to get the prohibition on dispersing the press right.

Hackaday Podcast Episode 341: Qualcomm Owns Arduino, Steppers Still Dominate 3D Printing, and Google Controls Your Apps
The nights are drawing in for Europeans, and Elliot Williams is joined this week by Jenny List for an evening podcast looking at the past week in all things Hackaday. After reminding listeners of the upcoming Hackaday Supercon and Jawncon events, we take a moment to mark the sad passing of the prolific YouTuber, Robert Murray-Smith.
Before diving into the real hacks, there are a couple of more general news stories with an effect on our community. First, the takeover of Arduino by Qualcomm, and what its effect is likely to be. We try to speculate as to where the Arduino platform might go from here, and even whether it remains the player it once was, in 2025. Then there’s the decision by Google to restrict Android sideloading to only approved-developer APKs unless over ADB. It’s an assault on a user’s rights over their own hardware, as well as something of a blow to the open-source Android ecosystem. What will be our community’s response?
On more familiar territory we have custom LCDs, algorithmic art, and a discussion of non-stepper motors in 3D printing. Even the MakerBot Cupcake makes an appearance. Then there’s a tiny RV, new creative use of an ESP32 peripheral, and the DVD logo screensaver, in hardware. We end the show with a look at why logic circuits use the voltages they do. It’s a smorgasbord of hacks for your listening enjoyment.

QUIC! Jump to User Space!
Everyone knows that Weird Al lampooned computers in a famous parody song (It’s All About the Pentiums). But if you want more hardcore (including more hardcore language, so if you are offended by rap music-style explicit lyrics, maybe don’t look this up), you probably want “Kill Dash 9” by Monzy. There’s a line in that song about “You thought the seven-layer model referred to a burrito.” In fact, it refers to how networking applications operate, and it is so ingrained that you don’t even hear about it much these days. But as [Codemia] points out, QUIC aims to disrupt the model, and for good reason.
Historically, your application (at layer 7) interacts with the network through other layers like the presentation layer and session layer. At layer 4, though, there is the transport layer where two names come into play: TCP and UDP. Generally, UDP is useful where you want to send data and you don’t expect the system to do much. Data might show up at its destination. Or not. Or it might show up multiple times. It might show up in the wrong order. TCP solves all that, but you have little control over how it does that.
When things are congested, there are different strategies TCP can use, but changing them can be difficult. That’s where QUIC comes in. It is like a user-space TCP layer built over a UDP transport. There are a lot of advantages to that, and if you want to know more, or even just want a good overview of network congestion control mitigations, check the post out.
If you want to know more about congestion control, catch a wave.

Why you should Psychedelicare: Help us promote Psychedelics in healthcare, through an European Citizens’ Initiative.
The European Pirate Party is proud to officially endorse the European Citizens’ Initiative for Psychedelic Assisted Therapy, a campaign calling on the European Commission to support research, access, and responsible regulation of psychedelic-assisted therapy.
Mental health remains one of the most pressing public health challenges of our time. Across Europe, millions of people are struggling with depression, PTSD, anxiety disorders and other mental health conditions. Traditional treatment options do not work for everyone — which is why new, evidence-based approaches are urgently needed.
Psychedelic-assisted therapy has shown strong clinical potential in recent research, but legal barriers, outdated stigma, and lack of harmonized EU policies continue to block progress. This ECI aims to change that by calling for a European strategy to support scientific research, training, and safe access to these therapies under medical supervision.
“This is an important opportunity for the EU to take mental health seriously and to base its decisions on science rather than outdated fear. Psychedelic-assisted therapy offers real hope to many people for whom existing treatments are not enough. Supporting research and responsible regulation is not just sensible policy — it’s a matter of human dignity.”
— Florian Roussel, Chair of the European Pirate Party
The European Pirates stand firmly for evidence-based policy, personal autonomy, and human rights. We believe mental health policy should be guided by scientific evidence and respect for individual choice, not by stigma or fear.
This European Citizens’ Initiative is a unique democratic tool that allows citizens to place issues directly on the EU agenda — but it needs one million signatures to succeed.
Sign the initiative today and help us push the EU toward a modern, rational, and compassionate approach to mental health care. Every signature counts.

Meta Tells Workers Building Metaverse to Use AI to ‘Go 5x Faster’
This article was produced with support from WIRED.A Meta executive in charge of building the company’s metaverse products told employees that they should be using AI to “go 5x faster” according to an internal message obtained by 404 Media .
“Metaverse AI4P: Think 5X, not 5%,” the message, posted by Vishal Shah, Meta’s VP of Metaverse, said (AI4P is AI for Productivity). The idea is that programmers should be using AI to work five times more efficiently than they are currently working—not just using it to go 5 percent more efficiently.
“Our goal is simple yet audacious: make Al a habit, not a novelty. This means prioritizing training and adoption for everyone, so that using Al becomes second nature—just like any other tool we rely on,” the message read. “It also means integrating Al into every major codebase and workflow.” Shah added that this doesn’t just apply to engineers. “I want to see PMs, designers, and [cross functional] partners rolling up their sleeves and building prototypes, fixing bugs, and pushing the boundaries of what's possible,” he wrote. “I want to see us go 5X faster by eliminating the frictions that slow us down. And 5X faster to get to how our products feel much more quickly. Imagine a world where anyone can rapidly prototype an idea, and feedback loops are measured in hours—not weeks. That's the future we're building.”
Meta’s metaverse products, which CEO Mark Zuckerberg renamed the company to highlight, have been a colossal timesink and money pit, with the company spending tens of billions of dollars developing a product that relatively few people use.
Zuckerberg has spoken extensively about how he expects AI agents to write most of Meta’s code within the next 12 to 18 months. The company also recently decided that job candidates would be allowed to use AI as part of their coding tests during job interviews. But Shah’s message highlights a fear that workers have had for quite some time: That bosses are not just expecting to replace workers with AI, they are expecting those who remain to use AI to become far more efficient. The implicit assumption is that the work that skilled humans do without AI simply isn’t good enough. At this point, most tech giants are pushing AI on their workforces. Amazon CEO Andy Jassy told employees in July that he expects AI to completely transform how the company works—and lead to job loss. "In the next few years, we expect that this will reduce our total corporate workforce as we get efficiency gains from using AI extensively across the company," he said.
Many experienced software engineers feel like AI coding agents are creating a new crisis, where codebases contain bugs and errors that are difficult to fix since humans don’t necessarily know how specific code was written or what it does. This means a lot of engineers have become babysitters who have to fix vibe coded messes written by AI coding agents.
In the last few weeks, a handful of blogs written by coders have gone viral, including ones with titles such as: “Vibe coding is creating braindead coders,” “Vibe coding: Because who doesn’t love surprise technical debt!?,” “Vibe/No code Tech Debt,” and “Comprehension Debt: The Ticking Time Bomb of LLM-Generated Code.”
In his message, Shah said that “we expect 80 percent of Metaverse employees to have integrated AI into their daily work routines by the end of this year, with rapid growth in engineering usage and a relentless focus on learning from the time and output we gain.” He went on to reference a series of upcoming trainings and internal documents about AI coding, including two “Metaverse day of AI learning” events.
“Dedicate the time. Take the training seriously. Share what you learn, and don’t be afraid to experiment,” he added. “The more we push ourselves, the more we’ll unlock. A 5X leap in productivity isn’t about small incremental improvements, it’s about fundamentally rethinking how we work, build, and innovate.” He ended the post with a graphic featuring a futuristic building with the words “Metaverse AI4P Think 5X, not 5%” superimposed on top.
A Meta spokesperson told 404 Media “it's well-known that this is a priority and we're focused on using AI to help employees with their day-to-day work."

A Emanuele Ragnedda. Suggerimenti per una enologia carceraria
Dopo un delitto efferato internet viene regolarmente sommersa di proponimenti forcaioli.
Una persona seria invece cerca sempre di mantenersi costruttiva. Al di là del biasimo è normale che essa assuma lo stesso atteggiamento anche nei casi più abietti.
Pare proprio che Emanuele Ragnedda di Arzachena, un ricco ben nutrito già criticabile perché ricco e perché ben nutrito, abbia molto maldestramente ucciso una certa Cinzia Pinna.
I dettagli sono sulle gazzette. Qui non ci interessano molto.
Ci interessa invece il fatto che per molti anni Emanuele -ancorché ricco e ben nutrito- dovrà affrontare una quotidianità che si annuncia molto triste, soprattutto perché dovrà adottare comportamenti poco conformi alle abitudini di un ricco e soprattutto a quelle di un ben nutrito, dal momento che il regime alimentare carcerario non è davvero dei più allettanti.
Come sappiamo Emanuele faceva raccogliere uva, ne faceva fermentare il succo e poi cercava di venderlo a caro prezzo, il più delle volte riuscendoci anche. A meno che qualcuno non si sbrighi a far sparire tutto quanto -fra gentiluomini in casi come questo è prassi far finta di non essersi mai conosciuti- sul web si trova molta e fastidiosa pubblicità al suo succo fermentato. Comunque, nulla vieta di sperare che Emanuele non possa cercare di assecondare la sua grande passione anche nelle condizioni in cui si trova adesso.
Prendete dieci arance sbucciate e una scatola di frutta sciroppata mista da duecentoquaranta grammi. Strizzate la frutta in un sacchettino di plastica e mescolate il succo alla poltiglia, aggiungete mezzo litro d'acqua e chiudete bene il sacchetto.
Mettete il sacchetto nel lavandino e riscaldatelo facendo scorrere per quindici minuti l'acqua calda.
Avvolgete dei tovaglioli attorno al sacchetto per tenerlo tiepido affinché fermenti.
Lasciate il sacchetto in cella senza toccarlo per quarantotto ore.
Passato questo tempo, aggiungete da quaranta a sessanta zollette di zucchero e sei cucchiaini di ketchup, poi riscaldate di nuovo per trenta minuti e infine richiudete il sacchetto.
Lasciate di nuovo il sacchetto senza toccarlo, stavolta per settantadue ore. Riscaldate ogni giorno per quindici minuti.
Trascorse le settantadue ore, con un cucchiaio scremate via la poltiglia e mettete quello che rimane in due tazze da mezzo litro.
Il detenuto statunitense Jarvis Jay Masters ha incluso questa ricetta per il pruno -uno spaventoso beverone fermentato facendola in barba agli agenti di custodia- in una poesia sulla sua condizione di condannato a morte. Si sono adattate le dosi al sistema metrico decimale senza troppo curarsi della precisione; ricette del genere lasciano per forza di cose moltissimo spazio all'inventiva ed è sicuro che al signorino Ragnedda non mancherà certo il tempo per perfezionare il risultato.
Sulla "pace" a Gaza
Capisco benissimo la gioia dei palestinesi per il piano di "pace": finalmente possono tornare a casa, finalmente smetteranno di essere uccisi come mosche, finalmente smetterà quella pioggia di bombe durata due anni.
Ma noi che possiamo permettercelo, perché a casa ci siamo già, perché non siamo stati uccisi come mosche, perché non siamo da due anni sotto una pioggia di bombe, noi dovremmo dire quello che è: hanno fatto un deserto e l'hanno chiamato pace.

ci sono un sacco di perplessità, da parte mia, se consideriamo l'escalation di questi ultimi due anni.
Come una vita israeliana valga più di una palestinese (il rapporto sta 1 a 10), come l' accordo di pace renda Trump un possibile vincitore del Nobel per la Pace 🤦♀️ e pure il peso mediatico di questo conflitto (dove sono le Flotilla per il Sudan?).
Una cosa è sicura: Gaza va ricostruita e gli interessi in gioco sono ghiotti.
