  1. All this talk about sunglasses with tiny cameras on them, and many people's reaction to them, make me think there is a need for a revival of the old concept of sousveillance, a.k.a. reverse-surveillance. Maybe the "pervy glasses" is exactly what every member of free society needs.

  6. controversial opinion (at least here):

    People and actions like this clearly need to be dealt with. But ofc we need light on government abuses as well.

    I am starting to think that there should be a higher emphasis on sousveillance and a lower emphasis on privacy as an absolute right.

    *Sous*veillance is everyone watching everyone, as opposed to *sur*veillance which is police etc watching everyone but not being watched themselves.

    Thoughts?

  8. Interesting - they didn't lock off the #alleyway nor fill it with #CCTV, just tidied it up and put pretty flowers etc there and the #crime plummeted

    I do wonder though if one reason was that the flowers etc need looking after, so there would always middle aged people and seniors in the alleyway - making it far less attractive for people to take or deal drugs there or flytip ( essentially a form of human #sousveillance / #surveillance )

  13. Überwachung ist ungleich verteilt: Sozialhilfe = gläsern, Vermögen = Bankgeheimnis. In Skandinavien sind Einkommen öffentlich — der Gender Pay Gap ist dort kleiner.

    Daums Antwort ist nicht weniger, sondern „Unterwachung": Transparenz nach oben. Und der große Bogen: Überwachung als Produktivkraft — wie Dampfmaschine oder Internet — vergesellschaften statt zerschlagen. Gegen Zuboff gewendet: nicht die Überwachung abschaffen, sondern den Kapitalismus.

  18. Animal welfare in the animal agriculture industry: Copyright law is being used to hide alleged animal abuse.

    "...The Australian animal advocacy organisation, Farm Transparency Project, seeks to “force industry transparency and educate consumers” about routine operations in the animal agriculture industry. "

    " ...Ag-gag” (agricultural gag) laws...refers to laws whose common feature is to “keep evidence of the unflattering, and sometimes criminal, practices of farms and slaughterhouses from public view”.

    "...The reality is that farmed animal welfare is woefully under-regulated. Scandals surrounding the mistreatment of animals are regularly uncovered by activists, journalists and whistleblowers, rather than in the course of standard compliance processes".

    "So the High Court must now decide whether the law should allow for such vision to be made public, potentially uncovering grave suffering, or keep it safely out of sight." >>

    "High Court to consider who owns rights to abattoir footage captured by activists' secret cameras. Footage shows 'extreme animal cruelty', activists say."

  23. "#Sousveillance" 😂 nice one, @bruces.
    (See an excerpt from Bruce's book The Caryatids in alt text.)

    "Sousveillance, a term coined by Steve Mann, refers to the practice of recording or monitoring activities from the perspective of the participant, often using wearable devices or other personal technologies. … has evolved into a cultural & technological movement that challenges traditional notions of surveillance & power dynamics."

  28. @internetarchive
    Just going by the clip not the podcast or the book, but I think I am not so worried about that kind of public data leakage as I am about private datasets/panopticons.
    #Sousveillance is not nearly as bad as #surveillance. It's the power differential that makes surveillance bad IMO.

  37. "the most striking trend in recent years has not been sousveillance of the powerful, but what — for want of a better word — I am going to call “peerveillance”. With the help of gadgets and subscriptions from technology companies, we are increasingly turning our gaze on each other, whether through cameras on our cycle helmets or our rapid adoption of camera doorbells such as Amazon’s Ring devices.

    The next step might be smart glasses such as the Meta Ray-Ban Display, which Meta unveiled last week. The ordinary-looking glasses can do some handy things, such as overlaying an arrow on to your vision so you don’t have to keep looking down at your phone for directions. But they can also take photos and record videos, and some fear that at some point facial recognition technology could be added to them, too, so users could know in real time who they were looking at.

    It would be dangerously fatalistic to simply shrug because privacy is “already dead”. There is a qualitative difference between the ability of people to film you or your children with a phone or doorbell, which are highly visible, versus their ability to do it undetected (unless you see the small “recording” light on the glasses), let alone to apply facial recognition. The potential benefits — perhaps a user could be spared embarrassment when they bumped into someone whose name they had forgotten — seem entirely outweighed by the obvious risks of this technology in the hands of creeps and stalkers."
