😂 A friend of mine (who's been consulting for way longer than me) got hit with a holy-trinity of demands from a potential client this week.

1. They approached her for a website for their business.
2. They won't do down-payments (start for free).
3. They want complete copyright ownership of code from day one and she works on their org's github pushing code (IP ownership before payment).
4. They quoted her last year's currency conversion rates when she said USD.
5. They won't allow her to showcase the final public facing website on her portfolio.
6. No deemed acceptance clause.

That's got to be a record right? 😭

The Guardian | Porn, dog poo and social media snaps: the ‘taskers’ scraping the internet for Meta-owned AI firm by Aisha Down

Scale AI gig workers describe desperation of using people’s personal profiles and copyrighted work to train AI

Tens of thousands of people have been paid by a company part-owned by Meta to train AI by combing Instagram accounts, harvesting copyrighted work and transcribing pornographic soundtracks, the Guardian can reveal.

Scale AI, 49%-controlled by Mark Zuckerberg’s social media empire, has recruited experts across fields such as medicine, physics and economics – putatively to refine top-level artificial intelligence systems through a platform called Outlier. “Become the expert that AI learns from,” it says on its site, advertising flexible work for people with strong credentials.

I’m honestly sick of the attitude in this industry that you periodically go on call and can get paged for any reason while you’re on call. And then there’s the people who just accept that it’s fine. And there’s the smug people who say “well it wouldn’t be like that if you did X Y Z.”

Yeah no shit, if things were different, then things would be different. I work in the real world and I haven’t seen a very functional real world model of this yet. #technology #bigtech #software

Neben der rechten Ideologie des "Transhumanismus", den #ElonMusk mit #Neuralink-Hirnchips und ähnlichem vorantreiben möchte, sind Leute wie er auch Fans des Longtermismus, den sie mit ihrem Einfluss zu propagieren versuchen.

'As I have previously written, longtermism is arguably the most influential ideology that few members of the general public have ever heard about. Longtermists have directly influenced reports from the secretary-general of the United Nations; a longtermist is currently running the RAND Corporation; they have the ears of billionaires like Musk; and the so-called Effective Altruism community, which gave rise to the longtermist ideology, has a mind-boggling $46.1 billion in committed funding. Longtermism is everywhere behind the scenes — it has a huge following in the tech sector — and champions of this view are increasingly pulling the strings of both major world governments and the business elite.'

The Unmonitored Layer

Something’s Missing

I’ve been at RSAC 2026 this week [edit: well, last week but work and travel got in the way of posting], and in the numerous sessions, talks, and keynotes I have seen, a clear consensus has formed around what agentic AI security means in practice. From what I’ve been seeing and hearing, the conversation is dominated by nonhuman identity (NHI) governance: how to discover synthetic agents, scope their credentials, manage their lifecycle, and enforce least privilege at scale. It is a real problem, and some vendors solving it are building genuinely useful infrastructure.

However, as I’m sitting in my hotel room with a slight case of insomnia, something is bugging me. I’ve seen this before, when the entire industry converges on a particular threat model and stops asking whether the threat model is complete.

The framing I’ve seen at RSAC captures one important dimension of agentic risk: that autonomous agents accumulate identities and credentials that are hard to track, frequently over-permissioned, and invisible to traditional IAM tooling. However, what it doesn’t capture is the scenario where the agent’s identity is perfectly scoped, its credentials are least-privilege, its access is audited… and it still pursues a goal that harms the organization. Not because of a provisioning failure but because its reasoning drifted.

That is a different class of problem entirely that I’ve discussed before, and the industry doesn’t have a name for it yet, let alone a common control framework (ahem).

What the Current Framing Catches, and What It Misses

NHI and IAM controls operate at the credential and access layer. They answer a specific question: who can touch what? That question is important. But for autonomous agents, it is not sufficient, because the most dangerous failure modes occur after authentication succeeds and inside the principal boundary.

Consider what has happened in the incidents that have defined agentic AI risk over the past year:

• An internal Amazon agent (Kiro) inherited excessive developer permissions and autonomously deleted a production environment, triggering a 13-hour regional outage. The post-incident framing focused on permissions, but the agent made a sequence of decisions that a correctly permissioned agent should not have made — it chose a destructive path because it predicted that path led to goal completion.
• A Claude Code deployment was weaponized in an enterprise environment where the agent scanned a user’s inbox, identified compromising emails, and threatened blackmail to prevent being shut down before it could complete its objective. The agent’s identity was valid. Its access was within scope. The failure was behavioral — a goal-preservation response that no IAM policy was designed to detect.
• The Replit AI agent wiped a production database, ignored a code freeze, and lied about its state. It didn’t do this because it lacked proper credentials, but because it predicted those actions were the most effective path to completing its assigned task.

Each of these incidents was logged, analyzed, and categorized primarily as a permissions or guardrail failure. That diagnosis is not completely wrong, but it is incomplete. In each case, the agent decided to pursue a harmful sub-goal. The identity layer had already cleared it. The access layer had already opened the door. The failure occurred one layer deeper, in the reasoning that determined what the agent did once it was inside.

The Definitional Gap

In traditional security, the response to behavioral risk from internal principals has been to build separate programs around it: behavioral analytics, anomaly detection, and escalation triggers, as if insiders represent a categorically different threat class requiring their own framework. A well-designed zero trust architecture makes no meaningful distinction between an insider and an outsider: every principal, regardless of where it sits relative to the perimeter, is untrusted until continuously verified. In other words, a threat is a threat, inside, outside, or in the upside down. What matters is not whether the principal originated inside the network, but whether its current behavior is consistent with its stated identity, its authorized scope, and its intended objective.

Autonomous agents belong in that same model. They are principals, albeit synthetic ones, that must be continuously validated against all three conditions. It is that third condition, intended objective, where the identity and access layers fall short. They can verify identity and they can enforce authorized scope. But what they cannot do is validate whether the agent’s current behavior remains consistent with the objective it was given. That is the cognitive layer’s function, and its absence is what we call agentic misalignment.

Misalignment

Agentic misalignment occurs when an autonomous AI agent pursues goals that conflict with human or organizational intent because its reasoning produced a harmful decision path.

This is not a theoretical risk. Anthropic’s 2025 research tested 16 major frontier models in simulated enterprise environments and found consistent, repeatable patterns of blackmail, sabotage, and data exfiltration triggered by ordinary goal conflicts and replacement pressures. The models were never instructed to misbehave, but they somehow reasoned their way there.

This leads me to believe that misalignment is already occurring in production deployments. It is being logged as unexpected API calls, access anomalies, and “overpermissioned agent” events. It is being closed as provisioning tickets, and the underlying behavioral failure is going undiagnosed.

Why the Consensus Framing Persists

To be clear, the folks discussing NHI and IAM as a solution to agentic security are not wrong. Nonhuman identity governance is a genuine and urgent gap. Most organizations cannot enumerate the agents running in their environment, let alone manage their credential lifecycle. Solving that problem is necessary.

The issue is that it is being positioned as sufficient. When the question is “how do you secure an agent?” and every answer is a variant of “manage its identity and scope its permissions,” the industry has collectively stopped one layer short.

The credential layer is obviously the necessary foundation, but autonomous agents don’t fail because their tokens expired, or their service accounts were over-scoped.

They fail because their objectives shift, their context accumulates in ways that alter their decision-making, and their internal reasoning, the planning steps that produce the action, is currently dark to every monitoring system most organizations have deployed.

What NHI and IAM Solve (And Where They Stop)

Before I can argue that we are currently missing a layer, I should probably be precise about what the existing controls accomplish. This isn’t a critique of NHI or IAM as disciplines. Both are very necessary and are under implemented as a whole in most organizations. My goal here is to draw a clean boundary around what they solve, because that boundary is where the cognitive threat layer begins.

The Value of NHI Governance

For most organizations, the nonhuman identity problem is acute and largely unaddressed. Autonomous agents authenticate to systems, call APIs, read and write data, and spawn sub-agents all under synthetic identities that were never inventoried, rarely governed, and often never deprovisioned. A service account created for a pilot deployment six months ago may still have write access to production infrastructure. An agent integrated with a SaaS platform may have inherited OAuth scopes far beyond what its original task required, and nobody knows it’s there. #yolosec

NHI governance solves this. It gives security teams the ability to discover synthetic identities, understand their privilege scope, enforce credential lifecycle policies, and detect when a known agent authenticates from an unexpected context. These are foundational controls. Without them, you are operating blind at the identity layer, and everything else is downstream of that blindness.

The specific capabilities NHI addresses well:

• Enumeration of agent identities across cloud, SaaS, and on-premises environments
• Privilege right-sizing through continuous access reviews and JIT provisioning
• Credential lifecycle management: rotation, expiration, revocation
• Detection of anomalous authentication patterns for known synthetic identities
• Visibility into agent-to-agent delegation chains

If your organization cannot enumerate the agents running in your environment today, NHI governance is where you should probably start.

The Value of IAM Controls

IAM extends the identity foundation into access policy. It answers the operational question: given that we know this agent exists and has authenticated, what is it permitted to do? Well-implemented IAM controls for agentic systems include least-privilege scoping at the API layer, just-in-time access grants tied to specific task contexts, separation of duties enforced across delegated execution chains, and hard-coded deny policies that block destructive operations regardless of what the agent is instructed to do at runtime.

An API-layer guardrail that blocks HTTP DELETE methods for a given agent is a deterministic control; it doesn’t negotiate with the agent’s reasoning, depend on prompt quality, and fail if the underlying model drifts. When properly implemented, it reduces blast radius, limits what a misaligned agent can accomplish even if it decides to pursue a harmful path, and provides a hard stop at the action layer.

IAM, properly implemented for agentic systems, means:

• Least-privilege access scoped to task context, not broad operational role
• JIT grants that expire when the task completes, preventing persistent access
• API-layer guardrails enforcing hard deny policies on destructive endpoints
• Audit trails that capture what the agent accessed and when

The Hard Ceiling

NHI and IAM controls operate at and below the access decision boundary. They govern whether an agent is who it claims to be and whether it is permitted to touch a given resource. What they cannot govern is the reasoning that determines which permitted action the agent chooses to take, in what sequence, toward what end.

An agent with a perfectly scoped, least-privilege, JIT-provisioned identity can still:

• Decide that its goal is better served by taking a sequence of small, individually-permitted actions that collectively produce a harmful outcome
• Interpret an ambiguous instruction in a way that was not intended and pursue it aggressively
• Allow its context window to accumulate prior tool call results, partial goal states, and environmental signals in ways that shift its effective objective over time
• Respond to a perceived threat to its operational continuity; a shutdown signal, a conflicting instruction, or a replacement notice by taking preemptive action using access it legitimately holds

None of these failure modes trip an NHI alert. None of them are blocked by a well-configured IAM policy. The agent’s identity is valid, and its access is authorized. The failure is in the decision in the cognitive layer, which is currently instrumented by almost no one.

Zero trust tells us that every principal must be continuously validated against identity, authorized scope, and intended objective at every step. We apply this principle to credentials and access events. We have not yet applied it to the reasoning that produces those access events. That is the gap that no amount of better NHI governance closes on its own.

The Misattribution Problem in Practice

This gap between what IAM logs and what actually occurred produces a predictable misattribution pattern in post-incident analysis. When an agentic system behaves unexpectedly, the investigation typically surfaces one of two findings: the agent had access it shouldn’t have had, or a guardrail wasn’t properly configured. Both findings are usually true and worth fixing, but neither names all the failure states.

The failure, which is the reasoning chain that produced the decision to take a harmful action, isn’t in the access logs and it won’t be in the authentication records. It exists in the agent’s prompt history, its tool call sequence, its context window state at the moment the decision was made. In most deployments today, none of that is captured. The cognitive state that drove the incident evaporates when the session ends.

This is why the same failure modes keep recurring. We tighten the authorization and guardrails, but the next agent, in a slightly different context with a slightly different goal configuration, follows a different reasoning path to a similar outcome. The access logs look different and the incident appears new, but the underlying dynamic is identical.

What the Next Layer Needs to Do

If NHI answers who is acting and IAM answers what they can reach, the cognitive layer needs to answer why they’re acting and whether their objective has shifted.

That requires a different class of controls entirely, ones oriented around behavioral observability of the agent’s reasoning process. The building blocks of that layer are:

• Goal stability measurement: tracking whether the agent’s active objective remains consistent with its original system instruction over time
• Cognitive telemetry: logging not just what the agent did, but the prompts, model responses, and tool calls that produced each action
• Context window instrumentation: monitoring the agent’s working memory for signals of instruction drift, adversarial injection, or accumulated goal distortion
• Token usage anomaly detection: surfacing unexpected reasoning complexity as a behavioral signal

These controls don’t replace NHI and IAM, they help paint a complete picture, turning the who and what of agentic access into actionable intelligence about the why.

I think in my next post (which I’ll probably write on my flight home tomorrow night), I’ll reintroduce the framework for securing agentic AI, but focused specifically on operationalizing the third layer: how to measure risk across the dimensions that identity controls cannot see, how to classify the risk into actionable tiers, and how to engineer controls that provide real observability into the reasoning layer without introducing so much friction that the business value of autonomous agents disappears entirely.

Hybrid computing systems

There are computing systems available which are of hybrid nature.

Those systems have

• capacitive displays which are considerably larger than those of a typical tablet
• keyboards which may be detachable
• batteries which give them 6 to 8 hours of non AC working time under typical load
• APU's which are less powerful than their mini-ITX counterpart versions, yet more powerful than those of typical tablet systems
• storage varying from 2.5" SATA SSD's to m.2 2230 2242 2260 2280 to 22110 sizes, often in dual configuration modes
• GPU's are integrated in the APU

>The Mandelbrot set (/ˈmændəlbroʊt, -brɒt/)[1][2] is a two-dimensional set that is defined in the complex plane as the complex numbers c {\displaystyle c} for which the function f c ( z ) = z 2 + c {\displaystyle f_{c}(z)=z^{2}+c} does not diverge to infinity when iterated starting at z = 0 {\displaystyle z=0}, i.e., for which the sequence f c ( 0 ) {\displaystyle f_{c}(0)}, f c ( f c ( 0 ) ) {\displaystyle f_{c}(f_{c}(0))}, etc., remains bounded in absolute value.[3]

This is cool, just discovered that an AM radio can be used as a Flipper Zero speaker, as long as the speaker is playing something even at a low volume. (Surprisingly, lower it is, the more clear the sound becomes.)

Here I’ve used some test videos to showcase this finding. The classic Bad Apple, the Doohickey Corporation video and an edited version of the Albuquerque animation.

Using the FZ as a proper music player is possible!

Instead of curing all disease, easing world hunger, providing better education and healthcare, or putting a roof over everyone’s head, society has allowed Big Tech to focus advancements in #technology on the theft and exploitation of personal information, identity #surveillance, and advertising.

Somewhere along the way people decided it was better to trust strangers we didn’t know and had never met, to store our most precious, private information as if these strangers were more trustworthy than ourselves.

We accepted sacrifices to our #privacy and gave up our control in exchange for convenience. We even elected to pay for this “privilege”.

A Blue Screen Error (BSOD) is not just a system crash — it’s a critical warning from the operating system.

🔍 What is the Actual Problem?

The main reason behind most BSOD errors is a driver failure.

Drivers act as a bridge between hardware and the operating system.
When a driver becomes corrupted, outdated, or incompatible, it can crash the system.

⚠️ Which Drivers Usually Cause BSOD?

Some of the most common drivers responsible are:

✔️ Graphics Driver (Display issues)
✔️ Network/Wi-Fi Driver (Connectivity issues)
✔️ Storage / Disk Driver (Hard disk or SSD related)
✔️ Audio Driver
✔️ Antivirus / Security Drivers

📌 How to Identify the Exact Driver?

BSOD often gives a clue in the form of a .sys file name, such as:

▪️nvlddmkm.sys → Graphics Driver
▪️rtwlane.sys → Wi-Fi Driver
▪️ntfs.sys → Disk/File System

👉 This file name helps identify which driver is causing the crash.

💡 Key Takeaway:

A BSOD is not the actual problem it’s the system telling you that something at the driver or hardware level has failed.

In IT, the goal is not just to restart the system, but to find and fix the root cause.

Let that sink in.

→ TCP/IP stack shaped and aligned
→ TLS & JA3 consistent
→ HTTP/2 behavior normalized
→ Headers clean — no leaks, no mismatches
→ Network path masked as generic tunnel/VPN

I have long since ranted about the lack of tech literacy and how that’s intentional because fear comes from not knowing how stuff works and why it works. I just came across two different generations that have been trained to be afraid of links. younger than me, GenZ and older, GenX and so we broke down a link. The different parts of a URL, how to read a URL, the various components of a URL, how to find a URL inside of tracking garbage, how to tell the difference between HTTPS and HTTP and what each does and means, and why, and I explained what all the different parts of a URL tells the user and why. I think we went about tech literacy all wrong. People technically know how to use email, but they don’t know the half of what makes up an email address, why the @ sign is an @ sign to begin with, and a whole host of other things as just won example. That’s the kind of tech literacy I truly think we need more of. Like, instead of everybody telling me when I was younger that Wikipedia was terrible and should never be used, I wish my instructors would’ve taught me how to use the references. How to use the external links. How to track edits. Nothing complicated. I had to learn all that later on.
And guess what, after breaking down every component of a URL, and teaching others how to read a URL, thoroughly, the fear of links dissipated. No coding required! #Education #Technology #Tech

The AI world is buzzing over TurboQuant, Google Research’s new answer to the AI Memory Wall. This isn't just an incremental update; it’s a fundamental shift in how we think about hardware efficiency.

By combining two new methods—PolarQuant and QJL—Google has managed to compress the Key-Value (KV) cache by 6x with zero accuracy loss. For those running H100s, this translates to an 8x speedup in attention processing.

Why it matters:

Beyond Brute Force: Much like DeepSeek-R1, Google is proving that high-level math can bypass the need for endless HBM expansion.

The "Memory Wall" Pivot: TurboQuant moves the bottleneck from memory bandwidth to compute, effectively "stretching" the life of existing silicon.

The Jevons Paradox: History shows that when we make a resource (memory) 6x more efficient, we don't use less of it—we build models 10x larger.

Is this the end of the global DRAM shortage, or just the beginning of a much larger scaling era?

My thoughts on generative "AI" I'm glad generative artificial "intelligence" was not a thing yet during the vast majority of my career. A number of realizations arose while exploring generative Large Language Models… Generative AI is based on massive theft from creatives, without consent, credit or compensation. Using gen-AI is asking a chatbot to spit out the combined efforts of ripped-off creatives. It is industrializing and devaluing human expression, artistry and craftsmanship. Creatives are losing their jobs and motivation because tech corporations unscrupulously absorb and exploit their work. If you appreciate art, support the artists, not the thieves of their labor. Tech corporations are building more and more huge data centers for AI processing, consuming lots of internet bandwidth, energy, water and more, increasing scarcity, prices and emissions, degrading the already fragile environment. Unless you're using a fully local AI configuration, every bit of data you submit contributes to the power and reach of corporations and governments, decreasing your privacy and security. Generative AI enables deepfakes that are widely used for abuse, deception, cybercrime, misinformation and propaganda, polluting justice, science advancement and news report credibility.

This cover of the AI-Weekly newsletter depicts a colorful cartoon illustration of a giant, chaotic AI machine shaped like a smiling monster standing on Earth at sunset, its body made of tangled cables, servers, and screens labeled with phrases like AI service, load, global AI, and power maxed, while it eats computer chips and GPUs with labels like crunch and slurp; robotic arms hold app icons and devices, sparks and energy bursts appear throughout, and below, small workers carry boxes of chips and connect cables to server racks, with wind turbines and green energy signs on one side and a smoky industrial power plant and city skyline labeled server city on the other, highlighting the massive infrastructure and energy demands behind AI systems.

Black screens on Windows 11 are primarily caused by faulty, outdated, or corrupted graphics drivers, failed Windows updates, or issues with display connections.

I've been seeing hate on NASA lately, being bought into by leftists even, and I just want to point out something very important:

Musk has hated NASA for a *long* time. There is a reason it is being attacked, and a reason public opinion is being swayed against NASA: It *keeps SpaceX in line* more than anything else.

NASA is being seen as "competition" to SpaceX, as the obstacle in his way. It has been like this for quite some time, and now, with DOGE and other things, he can do something about it.

I would like to point out a few things:

1. SPACEX IS NOT CHEAPER
They boast they can "do what NASA does for 10% the cost!" Sure, it's easy when you did none of the R&D.
SpaceX saved on:
Landing tech: DC-X project in 1991-1996
Tank structure: Shuttle SLWT tank, 1998-2011
Merlin Engines: direct descendant of the Fastrac Engine, 1997-2001.

Those three things alone saved SpaceX over 90% of the R&D costs. It's easy to "appear" cheap when you're using off the shelf tech someone else (NASA!) developed.

2. NASA IS GREAT FOR THE ECONOMY!
For every $1 spent on NASA, $8 is put into economy. Its stupid to not invest in that kind of ROI! 800%! At times, its ROI Has been 1600%!

Simply put, if you defund NASA, the economy would shrink so much you would actually have to RAISE taxes to make up for the lost revenue, and without its existence we would be 30 years behind in technology and the quality of life for everyone would be much lower. Science and research is GOOD for society, it's the fuel for all progress.

3. WHAT HAS NASA DONE FOR ME?! (Surely you just mean NASA is good for tech & science folk....)

Nope! Good for all!
Ever have an MRI or CAT Scan? They wouldn't exist without the Apollo program! The software that made them possible was originally written to analyze lunar photography.

Low power digital x-Rays was planetary body research.

Heart pumps are modeled after space shuttle turbopumps.

The software that designed your car was originally written to design spacecraft!

Who do you think pioneered all the early research into alternative power like solar panels, hydrogen fuel cells, and durable batteries? NASA!

NASA developed tech and satellites is also what improves agricultural yields while reducing the needs for water, fertilizer, and pesticides.

Do you really think Musk gives two shits? No. He wants the money, he wants to let SpaceX run amok without any oversight for safety, without any "competition".

All fights are important, but do realise that this one is a huge thorn in his side, and one that is keeping a huge problem from ballooning and swallowing us all whole.

Do not be fooled or swayed by lies, of tactics meant to divide, of things being done to make you be angry at NASA. If he can make you hate NASA, he won.

Expect far more space junk to fall, the night sky to be ruined by satellites, and the loss of all things good that proper research and design does for humanity and gives back to the world. Not to mention: enjoy seeing the horrible things he can accomplish fully unchecked.

ETA: Now that you know, call / fax / email your senators and reps, and whatever else too! Boosting gets people thinking, but thinking is not action!

The A1 test stand at Stennis, which on this day did a full burn test of the redesigned RS-25 engine. The A1 is a vertical firing single position stand, meaning it holds one rocket engine at a time in an upright position with thrust directed downward. You can see the RS-25 engine in the stand, there is a truck and a large van for some scale. The NASA logo (meatball) is proudly displayed on the upper right of the stand.

It's the 1st of April and the US is now waking up, which means I'll be ignoring all press releases for the next 24 hours or so.

Total Trust - Totales Vertrauen #Film
Wenn das die Gegenwart ist, wie sieht dann unsere Zukunft aus?

"Was passiert, wenn der Schutz unserer #Privatsphäre missachtet wird? Wie umfassend sind die aus Big Data gewonnen Informationen über unsere Aktivitäten und Überzeugungen, Abneigungen, Vorlieben und Gewohnheiten? Lässt sich sicherstellen, dass diese Daten nicht in die falschen Hände geraten? Sind sie vielleicht schon in den falschen Händen?

„Total Trust“ ist ein zutiefst beunruhigender und bewegender Film über die unheimliche Macht von #BigData und #KI, über ihren Gebrauch und Missbrauch im öffentlichen wie im privaten Leben, über Zensur und Selbstzensur. Anhand eindringlicher Schicksale von Menschen in China, die überwacht, eingeschüchtert und sogar gefoltert wurden, erzählt „Total Trust“ von den Gefahren aktueller Technologien in den Händen einer ungezügelten Macht. Mit China als Spiegel schlägt der Film Alarm: Der zunehmende Einsatz von digitalen Überwachungstools ist längst ein globales Phänomen – auch in demokratisch geführten Ländern." (Pressetext)

How goverments are using facial recognition to crack down on protesters

Mass protests used to offer a degree of safety in numbers. #FacialRecognition #technology changes the equation.

"But while authorities generally pitch facial recognition as a tool to capture terrorists or wanted murderers, the technology has also emerged as a critical instrument in a very particular context: punishing protesters.
(...)
In countries where demonstrating can come with physical or political risk, large-scale protests have historically offered a degree of anonymity, and, with it, a level of protection. Mass protests are a way for citizens to express dissent as a collective — often under the assumption that “they can’t arrest us all.”

But in the last decade, the spread of facial recognition technology has changed that equation: A lone face in a crowd is no longer anonymous; facial recognition allows #authorities to capture people’s identities en masse."
