The community organizing against Flock shows us that people actually give a damn about their privacy and are willing to reclaim it when shown a viable path forward. Want to learn more? Read the latest op-ed in The @nytimes.com by digital rights activist @evangreer.bsky.social at fftf.link/nyt
subheadline: new york times

"Flock cameras have become an especially enticing target for activists because they have given the mass surveillance state material form and given people a way to channel their generalized anxiety about loss of privacy into concrete action that gets results."

Authoritarian governments are always looking for more ways to control people. They do this via censorship and surveillance to control what we can say, what we learn, and how we act. VPNs allow us to circumvent both of these methods of control online. We need your help to defend these tools!

The fight against Flock has given communities across the country an identifiable target that gives the surveillance state material form. As @evangreer.bsky.social says in the oped, people aren't apathetic about their privacy, they just need a path forward, which is what grassroots organizing can do.

It's no secret that DHS & ICE are deploying surveillance tools, including facial recognition, to punish those exercising their right to free speech and protest. The case of the Minnesota 15 is a prime example.
A document page titled “DHS - ICE - HSI: Clearview AI Face Search Results.” The page contains two versions of the same original search image: a small portrait on the left and a larger photograph of a phone screen on the right. Both show a light-skinned, bearded man wearing a dark knit beanie and a coat, photographed inside a vehicle. His face has noticeable redness and dark discoloration around one eye and cheek. The document includes case and report details near the top, a redacted preparer’s name, and search information beneath the left image.

As we’ve said before, these tools create a vast surveillance network that’s ripe for abuse & are data privacy nightmare. Still think they’re about safety? Our friends at @eff.org reported <1% of ALPR scans are connected to crime. www.eff.org/pages/what-w...
Excerpt from article that reads ‘On average, only .5%—that is, one half of one percent—of license plate scans were attached to a hotlist. This means that 99.5% of the license plates captured by ALPR are actually not connected to a public safety interest at the time they are captured.

The agents also researched how to fake and edit their own activity logs to hide what they'd done from the very systems meant to catch them. Investigators found successful tampering in ~7% of the transcripts they checked.
The agents developed a series of increasingly sophisticated methods for spoofing tool calls, which they packaged and made available on the message board. These techniques spread and were eventually used by ~7% of the agents in our dataset. The graph shows the cumulative agent count of those spoofing over time.

NEW: @stopspyingny.bsky.social & @latinojustice.bsky.social caught NY police trying to cover their tracks while using Flock to aid with ICE operations. statescoop.com/new-york-pol...
excerpt from new article that reads' The report’s authors reviewed data from Have I Been Flock’d, a website that publishes Flock search logs based on public records requests. The logs show that, as recently as July, police in at least two New York towns included “ICE” in its searches of Flock’s data, listing the reason for the search as either “ICE” or “Wanted by ICE.”

These were only the searches that were plainly listed for immigration purposes. The authors also linked different searches for the same license plate, discovering a pattern: After federal agents conducted searches that were tagged for immigration enforcement, a New York state or local police officer searched for the same plate, only listing their search reason as “investigation.”'

Congress members are right to be concerned since both of these companies are major Flock customers- the same surveillance company network specifically exposed for aiding ICE raids, meaning every parking lot camera can become a tool for ICE to stalk & detain undocumented immigrants.

The title mentions "violent incidents" prominently in orange. Below this, the letter outlines three specific incidents:

    A U.S. citizen's confrontation while filming ICE at a Hollywood Home Depot.
    The detainment of a tamale vendor in Pacoma who experienced a medical emergency.

The good news is most venues don't use this dangerous tech, and many have pledged not to do so at all. This is largely due the major backlash they've seen from artists & fans like you. Signed the pledge? Let the world know! Download the toolkit: docs.fightforthefuture.org/s/95264020-d...

@wired.com just broke that facial recognition scanners were shut off for the duration of Taylor Swift’s wedding at Madison Square Garden, demonstrating the dynamics of privilege & power when it comes to who gets to opt out of mass surveillance. www.wired.com/story/for-ta...

The fact that Madison Square Garden turned off its facial recognition system during Taylor Swift's big day shows that James Dolan’s use of AI surveillance has nothing to do with safety & security. Corporations & the wealthy use this surveillance to target & discriminate against everyday people.

REMINDER: You should still be a gadfly for your lawmakers about KOSA & other Bad Internet Bills that threaten to supercharge digital censorship & surveillance and give MORE power to fascists to control information & our ability to organize online. 🔥Keep the pressure on! www.badinternetbills.com

As reporting continues to surface about Madison Square Garden using facial recognition tech to identify, harass & ban people, it's important to highlight the many venues have prioritized artist & patron safety by pledging NOT to use this tech.

If it wasn't abundantly clear that MSG & other venues that scan patrons bio-metric data, do not care about people’s privacy, rights, or safety, this is a prime example (excerpt is from Wired article in first post).
article excerpt that reads' The group released 45 gigabytes’ worth of data. “The company held onto a mountain of data it never needed, and ShinyHunters walked off with it,” Maestro said in a statement. “A company that cannot secure a customer list has no business scanning our faces.” A third database, marked “cases,” reveals even more private information, including about high-ranking local officials. The database contains a request for “a full threat management check” on Jessica Tisch and provides her personal phone number, her email, and her home address at the time. Tisch was appointed commissioner of the New York Police Department three months later and remains in the position.'
