Not allowing police to deploy an exploding robot is common sense. But apparently not to some members of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors. Helps us tell them why this policy could easily result in disaster. eff.org/deeplinks/2022/11/let-

As an example "Over 5.7 million subscribers on Ghana's biggest telecommunications network, MTN, risk having the SIM cards deactivated ... MTN Ghana, explained that the disconnection will affect subscribers who have yet to complete stage 2 of the mandatory NCA SIM re-registration guideline."

I know. What. The. Actual. Fuck.

Just in case you're wondering, the fight against authorizing the use of deadly force via robots by the SFPD isn't over yet. There is one vote left before the policy becomes effective. If you live in SF, you can use this Action Alert to tell your Supervisor to vote "no."
