So, who's excited for the coming #SocialCreditSystem ? You think the #AI everyone is complaining about is the end of it? The #SocialCredit only works if there's an AI combined with #CCTV #surveillance .
What are _you_ going to do about it today?

"Billionaire Larry Ellison says a vast AI-fueled surveillance system can ensure citizens will be on their best behavior"
"Ellison said AI would be used in the future to constantly watch and analyze vast surveillance systems, like security cameras, police body cameras, doorbell cameras, and vehicle dashboard cameras."
Recherchen des +972 Magazins zeigen, wie Amazon, Google und Microsoft dem israelischen Militär Dienstleistungen und Kapazitäten zur Verfügung stellen, um ein Massenüberwachungsprogramm und Angriffe in Gaza durchzusetzen.
'According to multiple sources, the exponential capacity of the AWS public cloud system allows the army to have “endless storage” for holding intelligence on almost “everyone” in Gaza. One source who used the cloud-based system during the current war described making “orders from Amazon” for information while carrying out their operational tasks, and working with two screens — one connected to the army’s private systems, and the other connected to AWS.
Military sources emphasized to +972 and Local Call that the scope of intelligence collected from the surveillance of all Palestinian residents of Gaza is so large that it cannot be stored on military servers alone. In particular, according to intelligence sources, much more extensive storage capabilities and processing power were needed to keep billions of audio files (as opposed to just textual information or metadata), which compelled the army to turn to the cloud services offered by tech companies.'

Last week I mentioned the open source privilege. It has a big brother: the self-hosting privilege. Escaping surveillance is one valid motive to self-host, but not everyone can do it.
Let’s design tech that solves systemic problems. Let’s include the busy ones, the families, the elders, those who don’t know and those who can’t afford to care.
Let’s take care of society as a whole.

“Media giant Cox Media Group (CMG) says it can target adverts based on what potential customers said out loud near device microphones, and explicitly points to Facebook, Google, Amazon, and Bing as CMG partners, according to a CMG presentation obtained by 404 Media.”

Teslas are surveillance on wheels. Bay Area police increasingly check to see if there was a Tesla in the vicinity of a crime so they can get access to the footage from its cameras.
If you see a Tesla, it’s probably filming you — and more automakers are doing it too.

JSR's law of data: if you collect it, they will come.
Investigators will eventually identify any consumer product that persistently records peoples' activities.
One day, they'll show up, requesting access.
If the data is consistently helpful, they'll stop asking & start demanding.
Once this happens enough the company will probably create a law enforcement portal to simplify access & save customers the trouble...

Great interview with @Mer__edith in @WIRED from @agreenberg talking @signalapp, #surveillance, #privacy and #sustainability
"Signal is a nonprofit because a for-profit structure leads to a scenario where one of my board members goes to Davos, talks to some guy, comes back excitedly telling me we need an AI strategy for profit. Or another one of my board members comes in, gets really nervous that our revenue model, whatever it is, isn’t bringing in something that meets our goals and says, “Well, maybe we can start collecting metadata. Maybe we can reduce the focus on privacy, because of course our primary objective function, as a traditional for-profit, is revenue and growth.” And privacy in an economy powered by surveillance will necessarily hamper those."

Freezing my credit with the big 3 agencies. (USian)
Experian was creepy but functional.
Equifax worked.
TransUnion is complete fucking clown shoes.
They should all be destroyed.
Will the mass slaughter in Gaza result in more profitable surveillance and weapons on U.S. borders? Sure looks like it. https://www.theborderchronicle.com/p/the-palestine-laboratory-and-the #gaza #genocide #usa #mexico #palestine #israel #surveillance #weapons
“I’ve always thought of the #border as being the testing ground for the rest of the nation. License plate readers, sensors, and drones are tested at the border—and then they’re rolled out into the interior. We need to pay close attention to what’s happening at the border, because it’s the future.” https://www.texasobserver.org/observing-the-borderlands/

We've joined 27 rights and racial justice groups to oppose the expansion of live facial recognition in the UK.
Use of this intrusive, discriminatory surveillance technology and the mass collection of biometric data must be halted.

Pleased to announce the launch of Surveillance Watch, an interactive map and resource that documents the hidden connections within the opaque surveillance industry: https://www.surveillancewatch.io/
By mapping out the intricate web of surveillance companies, their subsidiaries, partners, and financial backers, we hope to expose the enablers fueling this industry's extensive rights violations, ensuring they cannot evade accountability for being complicit in this abuse.
