HELENA, Mont. (AP) — Planned Parenthood of Montana on Tuesday asked a state judge to temporarily block a law that bans the abortion method most commonly used after 15 weeks of gestation, arguing it is unconstitutional.The organization filed the complaint over the law to ban dilation and evacuation abortions just hours after Republican Gov. Greg Gianforte’s office announced he had signed the bill.The law “is the latest salvo in the Legislature’s ongoing assault on Montanans’ right to seek safe and lawful pre-viability abortions — a right guaranteed by the Montana Constitution,” the complaint states.Montana’s Supreme Court ruled in 1999 that the state constitutional right to privacy includes the right to a pre-viability abortion from a provider of the patient’s choice, the lawsuit states.Under the new ban, which took effect immediately, anyone who performs a dilation and evacuation abortion can be charged with a felony that can be punished by 5 to 10 years in prison and a fine of up t...

Top French court backs AI-powered surveillance cameras for Paris Olympics

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 15:39:22 GMT

PARIS — France’s top constitutional court on Wednesday backed the use of AI-powered surveillance cameras for the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics but also gave guidelines for implementation.The court wrote in its decision that the legislation allowing the new measures does not infringe upon privacy rights because it ensures humans permanently control “the development, implementation and possible evolution of algorithmic processing.”In April, the French parliament approved the controversial bill that allows the experimental use of large-scale, real-time camera systems supported by algorithms to spot suspicious behavior — including unsupervised luggage and crowd movements like stampedes — for the Olympics. The system is set to be in place until March 2025. The Constitutional Council’s decision to greenlight the plan is a blow for privacy campaigners who oppose AI-powered mass surveillance as well as for French left-leaning lawmakers who had challenged ...
