- רשימה חדשה באייקון על דוח המבקר בנוגע לרוגלות בשירות המשטרה. היא טוענת ששימוש בכלים טכנולוגיים בהסתמך על פרשנות משפטית כשאין חקיקה מפורשת מחייב לפרסמה בפומבי; ושממצאי הדוח הם תוצר של ההעדפה השיטתית של המשטרה להצטייד באמצעים כאלו ללא עבודת מטה סדורה והליכי רכש נאותים.

- The commentary looks at state web monitoring in Israel (both of online activity as well as of passive viewing history). These powers, governed by a lacking legal framework, appear to be mostly aimed at Israel's Arab citizens or alternatively, have intensified chilling effects within that minority.

- לפני כשבוע פורסם תזכיר חוק להארכת האיסור על צריכת פרסומי טרור. 🚨בפוסט חדש בבלוג של איקון אני טוען שלחוק יש אפקט מצנן על צריכת תכנים חוקיים, ושהתיקים הספורים במסגרתם הוא מופעל לא מצדיקים את הפגיעה בחופש המחשבה, הרחבה בהרבה מגדרי האיסור הפלילי המצומצם שבלשונו.https://tinyurl.com/isatrr25
- Both an interesting and frustrating read.

- 2/ However, it appears that following the Gaza war these powers have more widely employed, targeting the Arab-Israeli minority. This raises concerns of disproportionate adverse chilling effects on that group.
