#surveillancetech — Public Fediverse posts

Thinking about Foucault's discussion of public punishment in Discipline and Punish, and how he describes it as a theatrical showing of brutal power enacted on the criminal's body but designed to be an example of the state's absolute authority over those of us watching.

And thinking about shows like To Catch a Predator, and Cops, and Jailbirds.

And thinking about the way we share body cam and cctv footage of arrests and of police brutality, especially when it's enacted on Brown and Black bodies.

And thinking about the way ICE is very publicly dragging people out of their homes.

Happy lunch break, why not call your MEP quickly to make sure they vote against chat control 1.0 tomorrow? Perhaps remind them that even child support orgs (who are developing surveillance software) are against chat control. More info and phone numbers at https://fightchatcontrol.eu

Here's hoping, here's fighting!

WA police surveillance cameras: AI technology to monitor public spaces

WA police launch real-time AI camera surveillance to catch criminals

WA Police will become the first force in the country to use real-time AI-generated facial recognition in public spaces.

The state government on Friday launched the Overt Live Facial Recognition program with a trial of the cameras at the police academy in Joondalup

The technology monitors groups of people from police vans and compares faces against a database of targets in real-time.
