A U.S. charity in Gaza is worried that teachers at its schools might stray from a curriculum it says promotes peace and tolerance. It plans to address those concerns, in part, by recording classroom conversations and using artificial intelligence to flag speech deemed “hateful” or “inciting.” The Gaza Children Village's plans have elicited ethical, safety and privacy concerns from some Palestinian and advocacy groups and at least one of the charity’s partners. There is no indication the charity intends to share its classrooms’ recordings with anybody else, but fears about the potential misuse of surveillance technology are heightened in Gaza.

A New Mexico jury has found Facebook liable of deceiving users about privacy protections on the social media platform. The verdict arrived Friday, and it is now up to the judge to determine how much the company would pay. Attorneys representing the state are asking for the maximum $5,000 penalty per violation. The two-week trial in Santa Fe centered on accusations that Facebook deceived users about a data breach stemming from a third-party personality quiz that harvested data from roughly 87 million profiles and sold it to a political consulting firm, Cambridge Analytica, to generate targeted ads. The now-defunct firm’s clients included the 2016 campaign for Donald Trump.
