Save the date: Wednesday, June 22, 2022 at 1:00 p.m. ET. We are hosting The Color of Surveillance: Policing of Abortion and Reproduction. This is a mini, virtual edition of our usual in-person, all-day #ColorOfSurveillance conferences.
We will: hold space for reflections on and reactions to the likely overturning of Roe v. Wade, and the implications for the future of gender equality, racial justice, LGBTQ+ rights, and civil rights;
draw connections between mass surveillance and policing, the criminalization of abortion, and the growing power of the corporations that use our data to build and sell powerful surveillance technologies;
situate the leaked SCOTUS draft opinion in Dobbs in the context of the current sociotechnological and legal landscape that people seeking an abortion must navigate, while providing historical context to illuminate the short and long term implications of the decision.
Mark your calendars for June 22nd! Speaker announcements and RSVP link to come very soon. We hope you can join us.

1/ 🚨NEW REPORT 🚨
We’re excited to release our new investigation into ICE surveillance: americandragnet.org.

What did we find in two years of research on thousands of records? ICE surveillance is much broader than people realize–it’s an #AmericanDragnet.
2/ ICE has used face recognition to scan the driver’s license photos of *1 in 3* adults.

Even in states that encouraged undocumented drivers to apply for licenses.
3/ ICE can access the driver’s license data of *3 of 4* adults.

ICE has combed entire states’ DMV databases – in secret, and without warrants.

1/ Today, based on research by @NinaLWang, the House Oversight Subcommittee on Economic & Consumer Policy and @RepJimmyGomez sent letters to Equifax and Thomson Reuters demanding info on how companies share utility information with ICE. From @DrewHarwell: washingtonpost.com/technology/202…
2/ It’s been known that ICE could access 400M+ customer profiles from 80+ water, gas, electric & other utilities companies through its subscription to Thomson Reuters CLEAR. It's also been known that Thomson Reuters doesn’t collect these records itself—it gets them from Equifax.
3/ But no one knew how Equifax got these records.

No one knew exactly which companies were providing their customers’ names and home addresses to Equifax and ultimately, to ICE.

@NinaLWang began to connect the dots.

HAPPENING NOW: House Committee on Energy and Commerce (@EnergyCommerce) is holding a hearing on “Protecting Consumer Privacy in an Era of Big Data.” Watch here:

.@BrandingBrandi of @colorofchange, testifying to the committee, connects privacy rights to broader civil rights. Threats to privacy disproportionately impact people of color, low-income communities, and other marginalized people.
Personal data, even if it feels innocuous, can become a proxy for protected class or sensitive information. This can be used to discriminate in employment, health, advertising, and marketing practices. #privacy
