Do Meta spy on us? Eavesdrop through the mic? Meta apps (afaik) track phone behaviour whether you have a Meta app open or not. You only need to have Meta apps installed.

Definition of who is the bad guy... Nixon defined it as PoC Democrats and he manipulated public opinion into designating PoC Democrats with a trick. He disrupted communities and created misery that breeds drug abuse. A self enforcing system that oppresses a segment of the population in a country that prides itself as one people of law and order ...

That inner voice saying, "Surely if this were real, more people would be talking about it?” is social media’s greatest success: it doesn’t silence dissent—it makes dissenters doubt themselves into silence. 🔚

My return to the UK from an idyllic holiday in the #Dolomites made me feel like 1984’s Winston waking from a dream of the golden country. Multiple telescreens beaming images of war, and narrated by an emotionless @BBCNewsUK reporter, lined the embarkation tunnels at #BristolAirport.

"Hope you had a nice holiday; now remember that war is peace and freedom is slavery."

#Cop busted for unauthorized use of #ClearviewAI facial recognition resigns

Indiana cop easily hid frequent personal use of Clearview AI face scans.

Ashley Belanger - 6/13/2024

"Most law enforcement agencies are hesitant to discuss their Clearview AI tactics in detail, the BBC reported, so it's often unclear who has access and why. But the #MiamiPolice confirmed that 'it uses this software for every type of crime,' the BBC reported.

"Now, at least one Indiana police department has confirmed that an officer can sneakily abuse the tech and conduct unapproved face scans with apparent ease."

Gov. #Hochul considering a #FaceMask ban on New York City subways, citing antisemitic acts

By ANTHONY IZAGUIRRE
Updated 7:16 PM EDT, June 13, 2024

"Gov. Kathy Hochul said Thursday that she is considering a ban on face masks in the #NewYorkCity subway system due to concerns about people shielding their identities while committing antisemitic acts.

"Hochul, a Democrat, told reporters the exact details of the policy are not clear but it would contain 'common-sense exemptions' for health, cultural or religious reasons. Many people concerned about #COVID19 and #AirPollution routinely wear masks on the subway.

"Hochul said she was in talks with lawmakers on potentially crafting a bill.

"At at news conference in Albany, the governor said she was moved to act after 'a group donning masks took over a subway car, scaring riders and chanting things about Hitler and wiping out Jews' on Monday night.

"It was not clear exactly what incident she was referring to, but it could have been a conflation of different episodes related to pro-#Palestinian #demonstrations that day in #UnionSquarePark.

[...]

"Meanwhile video circulating on social media showed a confrontation that purportedly happened earlier in the day, when a man in Union Square — who also was not wearing a mask — was recorded shouting, 'I wish Hitler was still here. He would’ve wiped all you out.'"

The #surveillancesociety in the #LuneValley:

My local branch of #Booths (popularly known, but erroneously, as the Waitrose of the North) has introduced a #facialrecognition system into its local branch (and for all I know, all of its branches).

And in a classic bit of 'securitisation' we are told via a sticker on the door, this is for the staff & our safety.

The creeping Orwell-isation of the UK continues;

wonder if they'll be able to link that to my Booth loyalty card & credit card data?

The #surveillancesociety is like a budget version of #orwell... run on excel spreadsheets & baking off when the threat of #lawyers is aired.

That the DfE is trying to silence then is no real surprise... but its still shocking that this (rather than engagement with the views/criticisms) is the strategy adopted.

Though not named here I have at least one good friend (and active unionist) who I'm sure also has their own excel spreadsheet & file.

"Signal’s Meredith Whittaker: AI is fundamentally ‘a surveillance technology’"

I would swap "principally" for "fundamentally", but Whittaker is essentially correct.
