Amazon’s Ring cancels Flock partnership amid Super Bowl ad backlash (archive.ph)

Amazon’s Ring has terminated its partnership with police tech company Flock Safety.
The partnership came under scrutiny after the Amazon doorbell company ran an ad during the Super Bowl that touted a “Search Party” feature that uses AI to help locate lost pets.
Ring’s decision to cancel its partnership with Flock comes as tech companies face growing pressure to reexamine their work with federal agencies.

A number of progressive Democrats in support of the bill now appear to be signing onto the longstanding goal of libertarians in state government: provoking a major confrontation with the United States government.

"We should stand united, pass this legislation and say to the federal government, 'Come get us,'" said state Rep. Jonah Wheeler, D-Peterborough.

Many people on the left think that profit is “theft” or immoral in some way. This includes not just the authoritarian crowd but also some libertarian, free market anarchists. This is unfortunate because profit is not only morally justifiable, but also essential for human life.

How a Small Group of New Hampshire Reps Control the State Legislature (frontrowseatnh.substack.com)

For those of you wondering if the Free State Project is successful in New Hampshire, read this post written by a Democratic State Representative sounding the alarm about the Libertarian influence in the state capitol.

You’ve probably heard of the Free State Project — but you might not realize just how much control its followers now wield in Concord. Their libertarian ideology has spread quietly but effectively through the Legislature, shaping decisions on taxes, education, and public services. What began as a fringe movement has become a political machine. The question now is: how do we take our state back?
