> Following the dismissal of 31 workers in 2025, which Rockstar and Take-Two argued were motivated by gross misconduct, which drew allegations of union busting and were even commented on by UK prime minister, Keir Starmer, Rockstar workers have officially announced the Rockstar Game Workers Union as part of the Independent Workers' Union of Great Britain (IWGB). The union is prioritizing pay transparency, flexible working, and an end to crunch. It is also taking Rockstar to court over the aforementioned firings, and it has confirmed that a court date for the final hearing in the legal battle has been set, although it has not shared when the hearing will take place. In the meantime, the union is collecting donations to fund the legal battle.

> Flock Safety, the police technology company most notable for their extensive network of automated license plate readers spread throughout the United States, is rolling out a new and troubling product that may create headaches for the cities that adopt it: detection of “human distress” via audio. As part of their suite of technologies, Flock has been pushing Raven, their version of acoustic gunshot detection. These devices capture sounds in public places and use machine learning to try to identify gunshots and then alert police—but EFF has long warned that they are also high powered microphones parked above densely-populated city streets. Cities now have one more reason to follow the lead of many other municipalities and cancel their Flock contracts, before this new feature causes civil liberties harms to residents and headaches for cities.
