You Shouldn’t Have to Make Your #SocialMedia Public to Get a #Visa
The #Trump administration is continuing its dangerous push to #surveil and suppress foreign students’ social media activity.

Tell your local #UK council: Ban Crime-Predicting Police Tech
#Police are using so-called crime-predicting technology to #surveil, monitor us without our #consent
These are built on flawed data
Police already have extensive powers which they use to target, #harass, stop & search innocent people
We want to feel safe - crime-predicting tech will fail to protect us & harass innocent individuals

Another thing to worry about. Surveil more Pro-Palestinian and human rights activists from above why don't you? 🤦

It's pretty clear: Facial recognition is kind of "racist" and even when it isn't, it is increasingly intrusive. It should never justify holding a suspect.
At least three black men have been arrested and held based solely on being matched by facial recognition to criminals. That's creepy but also flawed since these systems are predominantly trained on and tuned for lighter-skinned faces.
My piece today in FastCo with #UJCSexWorkers lays out some pro #police thinking that's been bugging me for a while.

So... @Raspberry_Pi cofounder doesn't see a problem with their boards being used to #surveil people without consent, and instead it's just people mad on a #discord with not getting boards...
Yeah, I think I'm done with the #raspberrypi now... #Pine64 herein.
> #Microsoft doesn’t claim that any of the code Copilot produces is correct. That’s still your problem. Thus, Copilot essentially tasks you with correcting a 12-year-old’s homework, over and over... per-line usage surely produces fewer errors and probably no license violations.. But that’s not at all how #Copilot is marketed.. low-cost toys whose main purpose is developer #surveillance rather than #CodeSynthesis.

Play along and you'll be rewarded with this #islandGetaway lifestyle we have for you. With these #drones you can #sacrifice miners who try to access your #island. With these other devices you can #surveil and makes demands on your #miners through what they believe are #SmartDevices, just glorified #trackingDevices. If a miner steps out-of-line use this button and they'll be placed in a #hotel and #quarantined.
Got it?
