Judge’s rebuke of DOJ in raid on journalist’s home exposes bigger problem
A judge who approved the search warrant that led to a raid on journalist Hannah Natanson’s home has recently chastised prosecutors for failing to tell him about a federal law that limits such raids. Judge William B. Porter said that prosecutors should have informed him about the Privacy Protection Act of 1980, a law that forbids almost all search warrants targeting journalists.
But Porter’s rebuke sparked a debate: Isn’t it the judge’s job to know the law himself?
The answer is more complicated than it may seem at first. It’s true that we generally expect judges to know the law, and they have law clerks who help them research relevant statutes and precedents. But judges and their staffs are human, and the legal system is designed with that in mind. Our adversarial system, with prosecutors and defense attorneys on opposite sides, encourages lawyers to make sure a judge knows about the facts or law that helps their case or harms their opponent.
Sometimes, however, that system breaks down or isn’t followed. For example, when the government applies for a search warrant, there is no opposing side. Only prosecutors and law enforcement officers make their case to a judge. The person targeted by the search warrant doesn’t even know about it, let alone get a chance to oppose it.
In those situations, we rely not only on the judge’s acumen but also attorneys’ ethical obligations. Attorneys have an ethical duty to inform the court of any relevant law, even if it hurts their case. They can argue that the law doesn’t apply, but they can’t pretend it doesn’t exist. Prosecutors, in particular, are also supposed to seek justice, not just win cases.
That didn’t happen in the Natanson case. Assistant U.S. Attorney Gordon D. Kromberg knew about the Privacy Protection Act but chose not to mention it in the government’s request for a search warrant targeting Natanson’s home and devices, part of an investigation into a government contractor accused of leaking to the press.
Kromberg told Porter the omission was because of Department of Justice memos that said that the act didn’t apply in circumstances like Natanson’s, “when there was a reason to believe that the individual who maintained the information was involved in the offense.” But the decision of whether the act applied or barred the search warrant was one for the court to make, not prosecutors.
It’s deeply alarming to have DOJ lawyers decide they don’t have to tell judges about the Privacy Protection Act when they’ve unilaterally decided it doesn’t apply because a reporter is “involved” in a crime. For one thing, the DOJ’s determination that Natanson was “involved” in an offense because she allegedly received classified documents from a source relies on a deeply controversial reading of criminal law. For another, failing to mention the act also makes it more likely courts will simply overlook it.
It’s deeply alarming to have DOJ lawyers decide they don’t have to tell judges about the Privacy Protection Act when they’ve unilaterally decided it doesn’t apply.
That’s because the Privacy Protection Act is a little-known law that most judges have probably never heard of. After all, the government doesn’t apply for a search warrant to raid newsrooms or journalists’ homes every day (though it does it more often than it should, and judges’ apparent ignorance of the act suggests a real need for more judicial training).
But unless something changes, real accountability for following such an unethical policy may be elusive. We filed an ethics complaint with the Virginia State Bar, arguing that Kromberg violated his ethical duties by failing to disclose the law to the court in the Natanson case. The bar punted on the complaint, saying it was a matter for the court to handle. We resubmitted the complaint after Porter’s remarks, but have not yet heard back.
Meanwhile, the DOJ is trying to make it harder for state bars to investigate federal prosecutors at all. Porter’s admonishment of Kromberg, while embarrassing, is hardly a strong deterrent toward future omissions.
Even worse, the government may still get the information it wanted from Natanson as a result of a raid that never should have happened in the first place. While Porter refused to allow the DOJ to search Natanson’s seized materials, he decided instead to search them himself. After his search, Porter will give prosecutors anything he finds that’s relevant to their leak investigation.
The DOJ has also demanded that the court turn over any classified material found on Natanson’s devices, whether it relates to the original leak investigation or not, and it’s appealing Porter’s ruling restricting its ability to conduct its own search.
In the end, then, the DOJ may get most of what it wants and suffer nothing more than a public scolding. That sends a terrible message. If prosecutors believe they can sidestep the Privacy Protection Act without consequence, then its protections become largely meaningless. Although journalists can file lawsuits to recover damages for violations of the act, even that apparently operates as very little deterrent.
The solution is to create consequences that matter. Congress should investigate whether the DOJ is operating under a formal or informal policy that tells prosecutors to omit or downplay the Privacy Protection Act in search warrant applications. Judges must be better trained on the act and start enforcing lawyers’ ethical duties with sanctions and other real consequences, not just finger-wagging. State bar associations must do their jobs and actually enforce ethical standards when prosecutors cross the line.
Without these reforms, the next time a journalist’s home or newsroom is raided, it won’t be an oversight or a mistake. It will be the new normal for press freedom in America.

The eID Wallet still doesn’t deserve your full trust
Despite its imminent deployment, the EU’s new eID Wallet is not yet fit for purpose in terms of safeguarding the rights of its users. EDRi and nine CSOs urge the European Commission to amend the draft implementing acts to ensure that users cannot be tracked, forced to share sensitive data nor to provide their legal identity where this is not required by law.

Don’t Call It a Comeback: Drew Bingaman Campaign Relaunched
The media in this post is not displayed to visitors. To view it, please log in.
March 11 – The following was shared by Drew Bingaman, candidate for Pennsylvania’s State House 108th District. We had previously announced the campaign was suspended, however, the following has been released from the Bingaman campaign:
The Democratic Party is running a party insider for District 108. The Republican establishment has their candidate lined up. And once again, the people are expected to choose between two options picked by party bosses.
I’m offering a third way. Today, I’m announcing I will run as an INDEPENDENT candidate for PA State House District 108.
This isn’t new for me—it’s who I’ve always been.
In 2013, I co-founded the Susquehanna Valley Libertarian Party because I believed neither major party was truly serving the people. From 2017 to 2019, I served as Chairman of the Libertarian Party of Pennsylvania, helping candidates across the state run campaigns based on principles, not party loyalty. In 2024, I led the United States Pirate Party as Captain, fighting for digital rights and patent reform.
And in 2017, the voters of Sunbury’s 6th Ward elected me as their Constable—not because of my party affiliation, but because they trusted me to do the job. They re-elected me in 2023.
I’ve spent my entire political career outside the two-party system—
As an independent, I answer only to YOU—the voters of District 108. No party machine. No corporate PAC money. No loyalty to anything except the Constitution and the people I serve.
What I’m fighting for:
The insiders had their chance. Now it’s time for someone who answers to the people, not the party.
Whether you’ve voted Democrat, Republican, Libertarian, or never voted at all—if you’re tired of the two-party game, this campaign is for you.
Your life. Your way. Your PA.
Let’s show them what independent leadership looks like.
#DrewFor108 #Independent #PApolitics #District108
Don’t call it a comeback; call it a course correction. We’re excited to see Drew’s campaign continue and we’re excited to continue working together in bringing about meaningful change. Your party will continue to support you every step of the way.
Drew Bingaman, Victory is Arrrs.

The media in this post is not displayed to visitors. To view it, please log in.
If you are curious about what happens behind the closed doors of the European Parliament and want to understand how policies really take shape, this is your chance to see it firsthand. Not the headlines, not the press releases, but the real work behind shaping European laws.
Applications are now open for Pirate Academy 2026, an immersive learning experience initiated by Markéta Gregorová in collaboration with the Greens/European Free Alliance political group.
This program offers a rare opportunity to step into the world of European policymaking and understand how political decisions are really made.
What is the Pirate Academy?
The Academy combines interactive digital workshops with a hands-on experience at the European Parliament. Participants will gain insights into how legislation is drafted, negotiated, and shaped within the EU.
What will you explore?
Participants will dive into key areas such as:
- International Trade and Security – understanding how global agreements are negotiated and how economic and security interests intersect.
- Policy Advising – learning the practical skills of drafting policy proposals and analyzing legislative impact.
- Values in Action – discovering how the principles of the European Pirates are translated into real policy decisions.
What makes it special?
The program culminates in a visit to Brussels, where selected participants will take part in a legislative negotiation simulation inside the European Parliament. Instead of simply observing politics, you will experience what it’s like to shape it actively.
Who can apply?
The program is open to participants of all ages who are curious about European politics and policymaking.
Application process
The selection process has two rounds:
- Round 1: Applications open now and close 16 March 2026
- Round 2: Shortlisted candidates will be invited to continue the selection process in mid-March
Interested in experiencing EU policymaking from the inside? Apply now and take the first step toward the Pirate Academy.

Gli strumenti di verifica dell’età online si diffondono negli Stati Uniti per la sicurezza dei bambini, ma il vero obiettivo sono gli adulti
- Le nuove leggi statunitensi ideate per la sicurezza dei minori online stanno costringendo milioni di americani adulti a sottoporsi a controlli obbligatori per la verifica dell’età, che spesso utilizzano la tecnologia dell’intelligenza artificiale, e stanno creando notevoli grattacapi alle aziende di social media che cercano di trovare un equilibrio tra conformità legale e privacy per gli utenti.
- Circa la metà degli stati degli Stati Uniti ha promulgato o sta promuovendo leggi che impongono alle piattaforme, tra cui siti di contenuti per adulti, servizi di gioco online e app di social media, di bloccare gli utenti minorenni.
- Grandi volumi di dati sensibili sull’identità possono diventare bersagli per le richieste del governo e degli hacker. Ma a un livello più profondo, la sorveglianza colpisce le fondamenta di un Internet libero e aperto, affermano i sostenitori delle libertà civili, e la scorsa settimana una sentenza del tribunale della Virginia, citando il Primo Emendamento, ha confermato la decisione.

Formazione obbligatoria sulla sicurezza (scuola), unica possibilità gratuita iscrivendosi a servizio esterno con cessione dei dati personali: aiuto!
EDIT: correggo le diciture delle prime frasi perché ho appurato che il corso posso farlo liberamente anche da privato (perciò la scuola non mi impone né obbliga a usare la piattaforma che propone), anche se ovviamente in questo caso sarà a spese mie e dovrò pensare io a cercare il corso ecc.
Segnalo i cambiamenti con il grassetto corsivo.
Resta comunque valido il punto centrale del topic: credo che la scuola abbia fatto una pessima proposta, tra quelle disponibili sul mercato, perché invia i dati raccolti a troppe piattaforme internazionali con sedi fuori dall'Italia e dalla UE (Stati Uniti, Malta).
La mia scuola mi propone di registrarmi alla piattaforma Docendo Academy per conseguire l'attestazione obbligatoria per la sicurezza sul lavoro, ma questo comporta l'acquisizione di dati sensibili da parte di Amazon, Google, Microsoft e altri.
Ho deciso di rifiutare la proposta della scuola e provvederò in proprio e a mie spese all'adempimento dell'obbligo di legge.
Sto preparando un'email per spiegare al mio DS come, pur desiderando partecipare al corso, non sia stato messo nelle condizioni di farlo utilizzando la possibilità gratuita offerta dalla scuola senza rinunciare a parte dei miei diritti in fatto di privacy e protezione dell'identità digitale.
Ho infatti ricevuto (come tutti i miei colleghi) l'email che trovate nella prima immagine, direttamente dalla Docendo Academy a cui la scuola ha passato il mio indirizzo istituzionale (MS365). Pare che questo possano farlo senza il mio consenso perché si tratta dell'adempimento di un obbligo di legge, perciò non voglio contestare questo punto.
La registrazione sulla piattaforma prevede però l'inserimento di dati sensibili, di cui alle successive immagini (le successive alle prime 4 sono nei commenti per permettere agli utenti mastodon di visualizzarle tutte).
Poiché un collega mi aveva segnalato il problema, sono arrivato all'ultimo passaggio dopo aver inserito dati falsi per prova (compreso un codice fiscale non valido e un indirizzo/CAP inesistenti, dati che il sistema non ha minimamente verificato in questa fase) e ho trovato la pagina relativa al consenso, che obbliga al trattamento dei dati da parte di AWS/Amazon.
Ho aperto il link relativo alla privacy policy (gestito da Iubenda) e ho trovato i dettagli, tra i quali spiccano le raccolte di dati per profilazione (senza possibilità di opt-out) da parte di: Google (cloud, pubblicità, statistica e altro), Meta (pubblicità, statistica), Amazon (hosting), HubSpot (database utenti), X (pubblicità), LinkedIn (pubblicità) ecc...
Per molti di questi servizi di terze parti non è neanche ben chiaro quali dati siano trattati, perché si rimanda alle privacy policy dei singoli enti (lunghissime, in inglese) e perché a volte comprendono l'utilizzo di script di tracciamento non meglio specificati.
Chiedo l'aiuto del Fediverso perché a me la cosa sembra grave (non alla maggioranza dei miei colleghi naturalmente, che si è registrata immediatamente con grande naturalezza).
Vorrei se possibile che mi aiutaste a definire bene perché la cosa è grave: "lesione della privacy" è troppo generico e debole (socialmente) in questo periodo storico. Vorrei trovare qualche definizione ben fatta di etica digitale, buone pratiche, cattive pratiche, identità digitale ecc... Possibilmente vorrei citare qualche articolo specifico sulle implicazioni delle società qui citate in gravi "nefandezze" a livello mondiale, dalla sorveglianza di massa al coinvolgimento nelle guerre in corso. Insomma, materiale e idee, ad integrare le ricerche che ovviamente sto facendo io...
Grazie a tutti, vi prego di boostare e diffondere il più possibile e vi terrò aggiornati!
🙏

Però voglio cercare di sensibilizzare sia la dirigenza, sia i colleghi sul fatto che la scelta dell'erogatore di servizi andrebbe fatta con maggiore attenzione anche a questo aspetto, e non solo selezionando la proposta più economica...

1/ 🪅 Great news!
Today, the #EuropeanParliament voted to improve the Commission’s proposal for another extension of the ePrivacy derogation (often called "Chat Control1.0").
A large majority agreed that:
✅ Mass surveillance of private communications by Big Tech companies is not allowed, and any intrusion into people’s right to confidential communications needs to be based on reasonable suspicion;
✅ End-to-end encrypted communications cannot be weakened or undermined.

2/ 🤔 This law was only ever meant to be temporary because of the serious limitation it puts on the right to privacy in Europe - but it's now well into its fifth year. The Parliament has at least reduced this new extension by 8 months compared to the Commission’s proposal.
Final negotiations are starting this week, the Council did not amend the Commission’s text in their position.
We are waiting to see what the final law will look like.

Rather than empowering users to access the services they need in a secure and safe way, the #eIDWallet risks becoming a tool of surveillance and control.
EDRi, @epicenter_works and other digital rights and consumer protection organisations across Europe wrote to the @EUCommission Commission to urge them to amend their plan and ensure that the rights of users are properly safeguarded.

I just saw over at "Linux Daw", that JoaCHIP has started porting old Jeskola Buzz Plugins like Arguelle¹'s TB4006 from around 2000 to Linux/#VST (also Windows and Mac, but who cares nowadays? ;) ) and I celebrate any of this!!
¹ Arguelle (Juan Antonio Arguelles Rius in RL) was a positively mad man who like every second day (!) released another weird tracker software, but also some #Buzz Plugins. One of his countless trackers is the technical foundation of #Renoise btw. He died way to soon around 20 years ago in a car accident.

Inside the reporting on immigration enforcement
Communities across the U.S. are facing escalating threats from immigration enforcement operations, with federal agents moving from city to city, detaining children and community members, tear-gassing neighborhoods, attacking protesters, and even murdering people observing and filming them.
Journalists aren’t immune from the dangers. Reporters are facing harassment, arrest, and physical attacks simply for doing their jobs, all while battling pervasive government secrecy.
In a recent discussion hosted by Freedom of the Press Foundation (FPF), four journalists reporting from the front lines in Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, and Portland, Oregon, shared hard-earned lessons on staying safe, verifying information, building trust with sources, and keeping the public informed.
youtube.com/embed/UaNk4eyEKZc?…
Journalist Memo Torres from L.A. Taco described how he and his colleagues responded to Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids that began in Los Angeles in June 2025 by starting the Daily Memo, a daily video recap of immigration enforcement actions often created from information, records, and pictures sent in by community members and verified by the outlet’s reporters.
Those community relationships, Torres explained, are essential. Relationships that Torres has built with sources, especially in groups organized to respond to ICE raids, have been key to verifying the videos and tips he receives, he said. “Find those people in your community, find the rapid response groups, the leaders, and try to build relationships with them,” Torres recommended. “It’s so important to be tapped into the ground.”
Echoing that point, journalist Francia García Hernández, who reports for the hyperlocal news outlet Block Club Chicago, agreed with the need to connect with sources in impacted communities, and encouraged journalists to also report on the ways they’re resisting government overreach. “I think one of the biggest misconceptions about immigration is that it’s just stories about enforcement and how families or communities are torn apart.” García Hernández said, “But there’s a lot of resistance. There’s a history of organizing that also needs to be documented and told.”
When the conversation turned to protest coverage, independent reporter Kevin Foster, who is based in Portland, Oregon, emphasized that situational awareness and proper safety equipment are key. Foster recounted incidents of officers tear-gassing large crowds at protests, including journalists, and of journalists being “kettled and arrested and batoned.” Other times, he noted, protests can be peaceful. “It really is quite dynamic,” Foster said, adding, “I think you just have to be prepared to handle that.”
Independent journalist and documentary filmmaker Michael Nigro encouraged journalists to show an “unadulterated reality” that he said is necessary for democratic accountability, and to not accept measures from the government that block transparency. Nigro recounted the making of his film “ICED Out of America,” which documented masked federal officers arresting and disappearing immigrants attending mandatory asylum court hearings held in a federal building in New York City. “Don’t let these masked agents become the new normal,” Nigro cautioned. “Don’t become complacent in seeing that.”

I have not heard a single piece of information or news about the @EUCommission that has improved my opinion of them in, well, forever.
Why is this obviously captured puppet show still allowed to unashamedly attack #EU citizens, their #digital rights, #eusovereignty & #gdpR, on behalf of non-european organisations that so clearly have only their own despicable interests at heart?
They do more harm to the EU than all terrorist organisations combined - destroying it from within.
