Protect our Florida daughters. Their health info is private.

Petition from Progress Florida.org:

“In Florida, student athletes are required to reveal private health information on student health forms required by the Florida High School Athletics Association Board of Directors to play sports. This information includes details on their menstrual cycle – which has nothing to do with overall well-being or athletics.”

Black man wrongfully jailed for a week after face recognition error, report says

From ArsTechnica.com:

“Lawyer says police didn’t check man’s height, weight—or the mole on his face.”

We should all be aware and afraid of this technology. The man was driving and picked up in Georgia after the picture and description for a crime was submitted in Louisiana, where he had never traveled.
