: "Senior officials at the Home Office secretly lobbied the UK’s independent privacy regulator to act “favourably” towards a private firm keen to roll out controversial facial recognition technology across the country, according to internal government emails seen by the Observer.

Correspondence reveals that the Home Office wrote to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) warning that policing minister, Chris Philp, would “write to your commissioner” if the regulator’s investigation into Facewatch – whose facial recognition cameras have provoked huge opposition after being installed in shops – was not positive towards the firm.

An official from the Home Office’s data and identity directorate warned the ICO: “If you are about to do something imminently in Facewatch’s favour then I should be able to head that off [Philp’s intervention], otherwise we will just have to let it take its course.”

The apparent threat came two days after a closed-door meeting on 8 March between Philp, senior Home Office officials and Facewatch."

'Threatened and vulnerable’: Cop City activists labeled as terrorists pay high price

"After hearing about the Cop City arrestees, journalist Will Potter, author of Green Is the New Red, said it “feels like flashbacks”. Potter’s book details the federal government’s legal campaigns against animal rights and environmental groups such as Earth First and the Animal Liberation Front, in the 1990s and 2000s.

“From my reporting on the history of government tactics,” he said, “fear is always used to send a message to the larger movement – and also to tie up energy, momentum, money and time.”

The idea, Potter said, is to marginalize dissent; his research has led him to doubt “if the charges actually matter” to the state. “I’m not convinced … the plan is to solve a crime, or to protect the public,” he said. “It’s all political theater.”

: "Police in England installed an AI camera system along a major road — 72 hours later, it had caught almost 300 drivers breaking the law. After 5 more days, that number rose to 1,000.

The police force in Cornwall, a county in the south of England, recently began trialing an AI road safety camera system to detect offenses like drivers not wearing their seatbelts or texting while driving. Made by AI technology company Acusensus, the system flagged nearly 180 seat-belt offenses and 117 mobile phone offenses, Vision Zero South West, a collaborative project between several organizations in the region including police, stated in a press release.

The free-standing camera system was installed along the A30, a major road that stretches from London to the southwest tip of the country. The system reviews traffic flow in the areas where it's deployed, then records clear images of passing vehicles using high shutter speeds, an infrared flash, and a lensing and filtering system. AI then reviews the images, flagging those showing potential offending drivers. Photos flagged by the AI are then sent to a person for review."

: "The United Kingdom (U.K.) government has recently unveiled plans to revise the Investigatory Powers Act 2016 (IPA), the primary legislation governing the surveillance of electronic communications in the United Kingdom. The proposed revisions include five objectives pertaining to changes in the notices regime within the IPA, the process through which the government can ask private companies to carry out surveillance on its behalf, such as interception of communications and equipment interference (hacking). The proposed changes to the IPA notices regimes include an obligation to comply with the content of a potential notice during the review period and before a notice is actually served, an obligation to disclose technical information about the company’s systems during the same review period, measures to strengthen the extraterritorial application of the notices and obligations for companies to give advance notice to the U.K. Secretary of State before implementing any technical changes. This article focuses on the latter two changes. It examines how the United Kingdom likely would be in breach of international human rights law (IHRL) by interfering with the privacy and security of online users both within and outside of its borders, should it decide to move forward with the proposed revisions."

@J12t The article by @hackingbutlegal is terrific — and chilling, as is what appears to have happened to Naomi Wu. I'm not sure what there is that any of us can do outside of 🇨🇳 either as individuals or collectively (not much, sadly, I'm afraid), but raising awareness through hashtags here on Mastodon seems right. I don't know what the community is like on here.
