June Conference
Poll at https://masspirates.org/crew/forms/june-2025-pirate-party-conference-questionnaire
- Should we hold it at ROOTED Armory Cafe again? I emailed them to check on what dates were available.
- When should we pick the date by? ROOTED Armory Cafe looks open until 7pm most weekend days, but choosing sooner is better than later.
Internship candidate
A Massachusetts college student asked to intern with us this Summer. Questions:
- Should we take them on?
- What we we have them do?
- Who would be their point of contact/intern coordinator?
Federal Bills to Review
- Senators working on a bill that would repeal Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act. Section 230 is the primary reason we have freedom of speech on the Internet. See this explainer. We have long supported Section 230 implicitly, but we never wrote up a statement why. Including why we support free speech seems important right now, as well.
- TAKE IT DOWN Act / Analysis - Passed the Senate
- S.4875 - NO FAKES Act of 2024 / Analysis
Commonwealth Bills to Review
- An Act relative to unregulated face recognition and emerging biometric surveillance technologies (H.1538)
- An Act establishing a moratorium on face recognition and other remote biometric surveillance systems (S.1385)
- An Act relative to unmanned aerial systems (H.3749 / S.2438)
- An Act relative to protecting Massachusetts residents against federal government surveillance (H.2687)
- Dignity Not Deportations Act (H.1588 / S.1122)
- Civil Asset Forfeiture reform (H.1953)
- Right to Repair Bills:
Here is an etherpad for people to offer suggestions.
