Want a crash course in how to identify surveillance technologies at protests?

Watch our *new video* and learn:
✔️Where to look for these technologies
✔️How they look
✔️How they function
✔️How they are used by police
✔️What kind of data they collect

We've also updated our previous blog post on this topic, which includes pictures and explanations of common, often secretive, surveillance tech: eff.org/deeplinks/2020…
The slides for the video are available as well! eff.org/document/slide…
And, if you would prefer to read a transcript of the video, or skim it, it is available here: eff.org/document/trans…

We thank @SPARC_NA for its tireless fight for a more equitable and free system for academic publishing. In support of #OAWeek2020, this thread highlights just some of the ways unrestrained innovation can make for a better tomorrow.
Earlier this year, publishers made relevant COVID-19 research accessible. While we applaud this, it’s not enough. We need to remove barriers that keep government-funded research from benefiting everyone in the first place, not just in a pandemic. eff.org/deeplinks/2020…
Universities have been forced online, and now have the choice of two futures. Let traditional publishing keep textbook prices prohibitively high, or support Open Education Resources for a more equitable future. eff.org/deeplinks/2020…

DHS is trying to push through a new rule that would require over 6 million immigrants & U.S. citizens annually to surrender their biometric information— including DNA, face scans, and behaviorial biometrics—when seeking any immigration benefit. federalregister.gov/documents/2020…
We stand with @SenMarkey, @SenSanders, @RonWyden, @SenWarren, and @SenJeffMerkley in calling on DHS to withdraw this unjustified proposed rule. markey.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/…
The proposed rule is part of what @EricLiptonNYT describes as the Trump administration’s attempt “to enact regulatory changes affecting millions of Americans in a blitz.” nytimes.com/2020/10/16/us/…

This was not a hack. This was not a breach. This was Facebook's systems working exactly as they were designed to work.
Without robust privacy protections, "big data" inevitably favors the powerful at the expense of the powerless. Time and again, personal information has been used to exploit, manipulate, and harm marginalized communities.
This isn't the first time we've heard about Cambridge Analytica's data abuse and Facebook's role in it. Something must change.
