Links to reliable sources (news articles, research, and analysis) for informed opposition to dragnet mass
surveillance.

facts and reporting rather than opinion or philosophy. The more reliable, the better. We're looking for things
that can be presented to elected officials and other decision-makers as independent, reliable sources that
they should take seriously.

"I personally believe, from everything I have read, seen, studied, and discussed with folks in the city and outside the city, that we've struck the right balance here," Mahan said."
Notes: Matt Mahan is the mayor of San Jose. He is running for governor of California. He thinks San Jose's ~500 Flock cameras, which have gotten them sued twice, have "struck the right balance."
