Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #safetynotsurveillance, aggregated by home.social.
Live facial recognition. A waste of time. Waste of money. And, crucially, lays waste to our rights.
For the supposed golden goose of UK digital policing to spit out one (false positive) match is an indictment of this invasive tech.
Tech and surveillance aren't the solution to complex social problems.

Live facial recognition puts ALL our rights and freedoms at risk.
Adding children – some as young as 11 years old – and subjecting them to biometric ID checks is unacceptable.
We demand #SafetyNotSurveillance.
We have a right to be presumed innocent. Not predicted guilty.
AI that claims to 'predict' crime will only replicate the historic discrimination and abuse already experienced by over-policed communities.

Ban ‘Crime Predicting’ Police ...
So-called 'crime predicting' tech automates racism in the UK criminal justice system.
Even the police have admitted that it's biased, with it being based on flawed police data 🤷
We need to stop pouring in good money after bad.
We need an outright ban on its use.

Facial recognition is biased. The police know it. The UK Home Office knows it. And they don't care.
This dangerous, intrusive tech produces more false positives for women, young people and members of ethnic minority groups.
We need Parliamentary scrutiny now!

Police tech doesn't predict crime. It predicts policing.
Fed on flawed police data, so-called 'crime-predicting' tech automates racism and discrimination against overpoliced communities.
The Safety Not Surveillance coalition spread the word that this tech must be banned!

Last week the Safety Not Surveillance coalition hit the streets of London.
We sent the message that so-called 'crime-predicting' tech must be BANNED!
Because we have the right to be presumed innocent, not predicted guilty.
This tech fuels racism, enables unchecked police power and threatens all our rights. Ban it!

This summit promised “safer communities”.
But it delivered something else: speed-dating with surveillance vendors, complete with a visit from the Home Secretary talking up artificial intelligence as the future of policing.
“Crime predicting” technology risks creating mass human rights violations.
We deserve real safety, not more surveillance.

We went outside the national police summit (UK) and this is what happened...
When we tried to ask delegates to talk on camera, no one wanted to.
Why? Because constant monitoring doesn’t feel safe. It feels intrusive 🤷♂️

Yesterday, outside the UK national policing conference members of the #SafetyNotSurveillance coalition went to deliver a simple message…
Communities don't want more surveillance. They want real safety.
The technologies being promoted inside the summit fuel racism, enable unchecked policing power, and threaten all our rights. They must be stopped.
Together we can build safety rooted in dignity, not surveillance.

The Met Police are deploying biased facial recognition at Notting Hill Carnival this weekend.
Last week we joined civil society groups in calling for the plans to be scrapped.
It “unfairly targets the community that carnival exists to celebrate.”
#facialrecognition #ukpolitics #ukpol #surveillance #metpolice #police
“The [UK] government should halt the expansion of facial recognition, before we sleepwalk into a surveillance state.”
It’s “invasive, harmful and should not be used, let alone expanded, without parliamentary scrutiny or public debate.”

First the police, now Big Tech wants to put 'crime-predicting' tech in UK probation services.
A lack of transparency and reliance on flawed data means that institutional racism will be hardwired into the justice system.
All at the expense of dignity and rights.

Tech that claims to 'predict' crime is only as 'objective' as the data it's fed.
With crime data reflecting historic racist and discriminatory practices, we must act now to prevent injustice for over policed communities.

"At their heart, these technologies infringe human rights."
Last week @sianberry tabled an amendment to the UK Crime and Policing Bill that would prohibit the use and deployment of dangerous 'crime-predicting' police tech.
These systems will subject overpoliced communities to more surveillance. More discrimination. More injustice.

Oops! AI did it again... you're not that innocent.
Nectar, a 'crime-predicting' system developed with #Palantir, could be rolled out nationally after a pilot with Bedfordshire police (UK).
Data such as race, sex life, trade union membership, philosophical beliefs and health are used to 'predict' criminality so people can be targeted for #surveillance.

Policing is being freelanced to algorithms.
'Crime-predicting' tech repackages flawed police data as neutral. Then replicates itself, creating a dangerous criminalising loop that'll impact communities who are overpoliced already.

🚨 BREAKING 🚨
New powers were slipped into the UK Crime and Policing Bill yesterday ⚠️
The police will be given powers to extract data from seized devices and any online accounts accessed on it.
No judicial oversight, just on the say so of a senior officer 😖
