> US police detain racial or ethnic minority drivers (Asian and Pacific Islander, Black, and Hispanic) more than white drivers. However, a longstanding debate remains unsettled: Does this necessarily reflect police bias? Hypothetically, if minorities were more prone to disobey speed limits and traffic laws, then their traffic stops may be warranted. To put this debate to rest, Aggarwal et al. examined rideshare data from Lyft in the state of Florida to compare minority drivers with their white counterparts. Lyft objectively measured drivers’ locations, driving speed, and location speed limits (see the Perspective by Knox and Mummolo). White and minority drivers showed no discernible differences in speeding behaviors or traffic violations. However, when both drove at identical speeds, police were still 33% more likely to issue speeding citations to minority drivers and charged 34% more expensive fines, unequivocally revealing bias. —Ekeoma Uzogara

High-freq location data show that race affects citations and fines for speeding

This technical briefing documents how two journalists in Serbia were targeted with NSO Group’s Pegasus spyware in February 2025. The briefing builds on the evidence of a widespread surveillance campaign against Serbian civil society that we documented in our 2024 report “A Digital Prison”.

Again, NSO Group’s customers keep getting their spyware operations caught

> WaPo reports that the IRS will share tax information with ICE and DHS to aid the agencies in deportations, marking the second major increase in financial surveillance under the Trump administration in just a few weeks.

IRS To Share Tax Data With ICE, DHS For Deportations

> According to a memo circulating among State Department staff and reviewed by WIRED, the Trump administration plans to rename the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) as US International Humanitarian Assistance (IHA), and to bring it directly under the secretary of state. The document, on which Politico first reported, states that as part of its reorganization, the agency will “leverage blockchain technology” as part of its procurement process.

Trump administration’s blockchain plan for USAID is a real head-scratcher
