What the coverage shows

Both outlets center the bill to ban license plate readers and the privacy objections around the technology. The Independent foregrounds the joint branding of AOC and Bernie Sanders in its headline and says privacy concerns have prompted calls to remove the readers from streets, while TechCrunch frames the proposal as Sanders introducing a bill aimed at keeping the federal government from using Flock and says it would extend to all automatic license plate readers.
