INDIANAPOLIS — A Muncie resident has filed a lawsuit with the ACLU of Indiana against the Henry County sheriff, claiming John Sproles has violated the First Amendment by deleting the resident’s Facebook comments and blocking him from following and commenting on Sproles’ professional sheriff’s page. Kristopher Bilbrey, a political commentator and podcast host, filed the civil lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana Indianapolis Division earlier this month. He claims Sproles posted an edited video on his professional sheriff’s Facebook page and after Bilbrey commented on the video, Sproles deleted his comment and blocked him from the page. “Sheriff Sproles’ actions violate Mr. Bilbrey’s rights to engage in expressive activity and to receive information, both of which are cognizable under the First Amendment to the United States Constitution,” the complaint read. Sproles was elected as the Henry County sheriff in November 2022 and began his term in January. The complaint claims that while he was running for the position, his Facebook page was titled “John Sproles for Henry County Sheriff,” a page that was for his use as a political candidate.  » Read More

A three-star Air Force general said the U.S. military’s approach to artificial intelligence is more ethical than adversaries’ because it is a “Judeo-Christian society,” an assessment that drew scrutiny from experts who say people from a wide range of religious and ethical traditions can work to resolve the dilemmas AI poses.Lt. Gen. Richard G. Moore Jr. made the comment at a Hudson Institute event Thursday while answering a question about how the Pentagon views autonomous warfare. The Department of Defense has been discussing AI ethics at its highest levels, said Moore, who is the Air Force’s deputy chief of staff for plans and programs.“Regardless of what your beliefs are, our society is a Judeo-Christian society, and we have a moral compass. Not everybody does,” Moore said. “And there are those that are willing to go for the ends regardless of what means have to be employed.”The future of AI in war depends on “who plays by the rules of warfare and who doesn’t. There are societies that have a very different foundation than ours,” he said,  » Read More
