<p>Edited my earlier comment to point here. Is your assessment that CFTC is pulling the broader impact fully out of the air, or are likely to try to spin the coverage of events in New York for participants outside of New York as counting as interstate commerce?</p>

<p>The "order" there is effectively a reset button to the TRO. Its function is to say "you can ignore the TRO and continue business as usual". It doesn't force Kalshi to continue operating if they had their own reasons for pausing operations.</p>

<p>It's not an order to Kalshi to continue operations. They overrode the TRO from the state court. The target of the order is the state court / executive, essentially saying "You cannot halt Kalshi's operations via the TRO".</p>

<p>I (unfortunately) think that the NY AG screwed up our opportunity to press that question by aiming nationally. The CFTC got to skip that and just shut down the national TRO.<p>I'd love to see another state push for a state-specific restriction and see how that plays out.</p>

<p>EDIT: see DannyBee's comment below ( <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49266746">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49266746</a> ). It does look like the CFTC has extrapolated the "nationwide" out of either some novel interpretation of the filing or just entirely fabricated it as their justification for their action.<p>I've got no love for Kalshi, but "orders Kalshi to continue operate in New York" doesn't seem to be present anywhere in the actual release.<p>The article presents the sequence of events as:<p>1. The State of NY files a lawsuit against Kalshi under the theory that it can be regulated by state gambling laws.<p>2. The State of NY files for a temporary restraining order requiring Kalshi to halt trading nationally, not just in NY.<p>3. Kalshi reaches out to the CFTC to claim that NY doesn't have the authority to regulate interstate commerce.<p>4. The CFTC agrees and uses their authority to override the TRO.<p>That seems pretty aligned with how interstate commerce is regulated and managed in the US.</p>

<p>You're correct that we disagree on that point. Flock is providing a tool; if we think the tool can be used in problematic ways, we ought to regulate users of the tool (in this case, government entities). This has the added benefit that the burdens on the government around their treatment of citizens have a higher bar for transparency and conduct than we place on private entities.</p>

<p>Is it?<p>Cards on the table, I am an optimist. But this feels pretty realistic: it's basically a corollary to the idea that public outrage about bad policies, bad practices, or bad tooling is problematic for these government entities. They want to avoid it. There's plenty of examples of this, even honing to just the US. Increasingly there's even examples of this specifically in the US, for police departments, for usage of Flock.</p>

<p>There always ends up being a real world to digital interface and it always has the potential for abuse, and thus always requires some level of monitoring and validation.<p>The department in this article appears to be doing just that:<p>> Every search run through the Flock Safety platform is automatically logged — who ran it, when, and the reason they gave for doing it. SPD said they also have other safeguards in place, including mandatory training, role-based access controls and supervisory oversight.</p>

<p>I think we may be agreeing?<p>I'm in favor of pushing for police departments (and really any governmental body with access to any kind of data) to have regulations around access to that data, access controls to restrict illegitimate access, and monitoring to detect improper access by people who do have legitimate access but don't follow the proper regulations.<p>I think you're correct that we don't tend to see the instances where improper usage occurs, tautologically because those entities aren't doing their homework on the above.</p>
