🔴11 years ago, @‌Snowden blew the whistle on mass surveillance.

UK intelligence agency GCHQ had spied on millions of Britons - with aid from the US National Security Agency

What surveillance operations did Snowden expose & where do we stand today? 🧵 Graphic of Edward Snowden
👁️ Snowden blew the whistle on GCHQ's operation OPTIC NERVE

Britain's intelligence headquarters intercepted & stored webcam images from Yahoo chats of millions of users to trial automated searches using facial recognition. Image
⚠️ Today, police are conducting facial recognition searches using our PASSPORT PHOTOS

Shops across the UK are also using facial recognition to spy on customers

This generalised mass surveillance of the population is reversing the presumption of innocence Image

🚨BREAKING: Today, we're launching groundbreaking legal action against the use of facial recognition technology in the UK.

We’re supporting two members of the public, an anti-knife crime community worker and a teenager to bring legal challenges after the technology wrongly flagged them as criminals – and they sought our help.

And we're doing this for YOU - to stop the government's alarming push to expand live facial recognition technology, turning us all into walking ID cards.

With your support we can:
🔸Take groundbreaking legal action against police and shops' use of facial recognition
🔸Demand politicians roll back live facial recognition
🔸Give legal advice & support to people affected by live facial recognition
🔸Work with groups around the world fighting live facial recognition surveillance

Support our legal action - DONATE to our crowdfunder today ⤵️

This legal action to #StopFacialRecognition is the culmination of seven years of relentless campaigning, marked by countless highs and lows and immense hard work.

🚨🧵 Newly obtained documents expose British military operatives's bizarre social media surveillance during the pandemic.

Were they REALLY countering dangerous disinformation?

Or conducting Government reputation management?

YOU be the judge... Image
Internal documents that we have also obtained reveal British soldiers factored in the “potential risk” of “spying” or “conducting PSYOPs on the UK” in their “counter disinformation” work...

but carried on anywayImage
POV: You're recording "misinformation" with "no verifiably false claims"

🧵How can @UKLabour protect civil liberties in an age of enormous technological change?

@silkiecarlo kicks off our event during #Lab23 describing the dangers of emerging technologies that "reverse the presumption of innocence"

Baroness Chakrabarti explains why this intervention is needed now more than ever.
"It might not be you today, I promise you that they are coming for you next"

@Elle_Drews (@libertyhq) discusses the failure to address crime's root causes and the dangers tied to the growing surveillance state.
