surveillance
“There’s this veneer of respect for privacy that is painted over all of this data aggregation and consolidation.”
But beneath it all, #privacy experts warn that smartphone-monitoring software "Tangles" is the latest in a law enforcement arsenal, from surveillance #tech to an army of drones, operating with little oversight.
Our latest from Francesca D'Annunzio is presented in partnership with the Pulitzer Center. https://www.texasobserver.org/texas-police-invest-tangles-sheriff-surveillance/

"The framers of our Constitution understood the dangers of unbridled government surveillance. They knew that democracy could flourish only in spaces free from government snooping and interference, and they put restraints on government overreaching in the Fourth Amendment of the Bill of Rights. . . . These protections require, at a minimum, a neutral arbiter - a magistrate - standing between the government's endless desire for information and the citizens' desires for privacy." ~ Elizabeth Holtzman

是監控所有人。外籍人士只是順便而已。
在系統和數據庫中，
中國籍和非中國人員可能是分開的。
記者正好發現了境外人員的。
新冠疫情後有個顯著特徵是，攝像頭大幅增加。
原來也很多，但疫情發生後就非常瘋狂了。
自己認為城市裡的公共空間幾乎全覆蓋了。
非城市的部分可能會有遺漏，
畢竟人煙稀少的地方大量部署成本不划算。
這也意味著從每天出門到回來，
所有人的活動軌跡都是盡在掌握的。
配合線上線下到處都是實名制，
畫面太美Stasi都會笑出來。
還有想起來，以前看到現在有些年輕人，
甚至不知道疫情前中國的大學是可以自由進出的。
真的是悲哀。

ONE BILLION personally-identifiable records were leaked by IDMerit an “AI-powered digital identity verification solutions provider”. The leaked data included:
Full names
Addresses
Post codes
Dates of birth
National IDs
Phone numbers
Genders
Email addresses
Telco metadata
Good thing we’re not uploading personally-identifiable documents for age or identity verification or anything whatsoever OH WAIT
FUCK all this surveillance tech. FUCK this identity verification bullshit. No one can be trusted with this information.

Hmm… was it, though? 🤔

🇪🇺 🚨Final negotiations on Chat Control 2.0 just started between the European Commission, the European Parliament, and the Council of the EU.
What is good:
✅ Encryption will not be broken
What is bad:
❌ Commission & Council want #IDchecks
Lots of journalists, whistleblowers, activists and dissidents choose Tuta to protect their identity. We hope the European Parliament will stick to their decision to oppose mass #surveillance and #censorship.

Proton built their entire brand on one promise: Swiss law means government agencies can't touch your data.
Their own Terms of Service, their own infrastructure contracts, and a federal court case from March say otherwise.

ADL #Greenblatt: I’m paraphrasing, we are monitoring all of them—be it left-wing, be it anti-war, be it pro-Palestine… 24/7/365. Everywhere on all platforms… Wow, apparently the #ADL has nothing better to do than to monitor their fellow citizens… cynical 👏👏👏
I have tolerance for many things… BS like this isn’t part of it…
Not only does #BigTech #AI #surveillance capitalist #nerdreichers want our data to farm us like pack animals. But also people who are genocide apologists…
And all the laws that are trying to weaken privacy and security make much more sense now, doesn’t it. #VPNs? Nah. #E2E? Who needs that—#AgeID verification… It’s much easier to smear and defame one when someone already has a troublemaker’s ID, amirite? Surveillance #adtech yes please #brokergate I SAY FUCK THIS SHIT TO ALL OF IT… #FlockOFF

🚨Age verification seems to be unstoppable. 🚨
Following the Australian precedence, Greece & Brazil now also passed laws that will require age checks for social media.🇦🇺🇬🇷 🇧🇷
What’s sold as “online safety” means #surveillance via IDs checks or face scans.
Privacy & anonymity protect journalists, whistleblowers & activists.
We must fight against age verification - or the free web dies!

⚠️ Github CLI now has telemetry spyware built in:
https://cli.github.com/telemetry
They're shifting the burden onto users by requiring YOU to opt out, instead of making it opt in.
Run `gh config set telemetry disabled` to disable it.
December I’ll be back on the job market!
Looking to counter:
- police surveillance tech
- smart city tech being repurposed as surveillance
Especially at the intersection of racial residential segregation in the US.
My background is in public interest tech, tech, and sociology.
Prefer advocacy org to municipal government, but I’m open-minded.
I’ve worked remote for 15+ years and my disability kind of makes it necessary for that to continue.

This is the big LG television surveillance documentary story GN have been working on for a couple of months, and that they previewed a few days ago.
The complete pervasiveness of spying upon not just you and what you watch but _every person and every device around every set_ is genuinely staggering. And it gets worse if you use their apps, particularly the LG TV "network":

Having an old set DOES NOT HELP YOU; they've been adding these spying functions in firmware updates.
So DO NOT BUY ANYTHING LG. Certainly not anything "smart."
