This month we saw a new type of story in the advance of the US police state, with the arrest of someone for wiping their phone during an unconsitutional (because Constitution does not apply at borders/aiports in the US now) search of a citizen (for reasons like that he belonged to a politically unpopular group or something) and he was arrested, charge not totally clear, and then ICE's electric shock (non-brandished weapons they call ‘deescalation devices’) hit headlines. On the other side of it some small resistence from Americans, such as many city meetings and some public protests against Flock cameras (and Flock has been limited in many places, as well as more headlines for those who have access using it illegally/for tracking people they're interested in in their personal lives) and data centers.

Some have pointed out that everything that happens at a US airport (or border) is under duress. Their interactions with their authorities rely on their Consittutional protections which Americans currently don't think apply at airports. 

Also this month, we saw several stories of serious action by US citizens against Flock and other camera monitoring of civilians. For months we have seen events in peaceful town halls, but we started to see people wearing masks and hoodies destroying the cameras, similar to has been happening in the UK (by kinda large communities btw) for years. The support amongst internet commenters for these actions seems almost entirely positive. For a while now, the camera companies have been trying to evade detection and even using fake cameras, while on the other side tech guys (and some gals) are making devices that detect real cameras to find them.

Also this month we saw maybe the first recent citizen action against a house of a tech giant, in Argentina against Thiel's pad.
