Privacy definition for a school student

Privacy is the right to keep personal information and activities protected from others without permission. It allows you to control who knows what about you. Others can include family members, friends, strangers, organizations and companies.

The right to privacy is referenced in Article 12 of Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

#UK #Surveillance #PoliceState #DataProtection #Migrants: "The Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) has issued an enforcement notice and a warning to the Home Office for failing to sufficiently assess the privacy risks posed by the electronic monitoring of people arriving in the UK via unauthorised means.

The ICO has been in discussion with the Home Office since August 2022 on its pilot to place ankle tags on, and track the GPS location of, up to 600 migrants who arrived in the UK and were on immigration bail, after concerns about the scheme were raised by Privacy International.

The purpose of the pilot was to test whether electronic monitoring is an effective way to maintain regular contact with asylum claimants, while reducing the risk of absconding, and to establish whether it is an effective alternative to detention." https://ico.org.uk/about-the-ico/media-centre/news-and-blogs/2024/03/ico-finds-the-home-office-s-pilot-of-gps-electronic-monitoring-of-migrants-breached-uk-data-protection-law/

#CBC says the "glory days" of ad-free uninterrupted #streaming are gone.

No, no they are not.

I have ~800 #DVD/Blu-ray discs with digital backups on a #NAS. And I use #PeerTube (admittedly, mostly conference sessions.) I watch #podcasts which are not hosted on #surveillance economy sites. I listen to ad-free #audio streaming constantly.

What I DO NOT watch is CBC's streaming content, which were larded with #advertising, heavy surveillance. #Journalism #bias

The UK Is GPS-Tagging Thousands of Migrants

"Ankle tags that constantly log a person’s coordinates are part of a growing cadre of experimental surveillance tools that countries around the world are trying out on new arrivals."

When I first started calling Silicon Valley’s business model “people farming” I was told I was being hyperbolic and alarmist.

I don’t get told that much anymore.

The majority of Prevent referrals don’t need any action.

Yet data is kept for at least 6 years, profiling young people as pre-criminals for continued surveillance.

We call for a ban on retaining data when the threshold for intervention isn’t met.

🚨 REVEALED 🚨

Data of people referred to Prevent in the UK is being retained and can be shared widely, potentially even if no action is taken.

A new report by ORG exposes how data is used to profile mainly young people for discriminatory surveillance.

It's time for us professors who study #data #surveillance #infosec #internetgovernance #privacy to start hassling our university IT departments whenever they integrate extractive platforms into our professional workflow.

Vindication.

When we @citizenlab first confirmed the hacking in 2021 both we & victims were targeted w/extensive harassment & disinformation.

#UK #London #Subway #Surveillance #AI #Algorithms: "Thousands of people using the London Underground had their movements, behavior, and body language watched by AI surveillance software designed to see if they were committing crimes or were in unsafe situations, new documents obtained by WIRED reveal. The machine-learning software was combined with live CCTV footage to try to detect aggressive behavior and guns or knives being brandished, as well as looking for people falling onto Tube tracks or dodging fares.

From October 2022 until the end of September 2023, Transport for London (TfL), which operates the city’s Tube and bus network, tested 11 algorithms to monitor people passing through Willesden Green Tube station, in the northwest of the city. The proof of concept trial is the first time the transport body has combined AI and live video footage to generate alerts that are sent to frontline staff. More than 44,000 alerts were issued during the test, with 19,000 being delivered to station staff in real time."
