🚨 NEW REPORT 🚨 I'm finally able to share the results of an investigation started in the fall of 2021, exposing the use of facial recognition in key areas of the Occupied Palestinian Territories, to automate apartheid against Palestinians. @amnestyshorturl.at/juxE2@amnesty TL;DR: 1) facial recognition entrenches restrictions on the freedom of movement of Palestinians, bolstering physical restrictions, and making them more permanent; 2) surveillance is part of a coercive environment aimed at forcing Palestinians to leave areas of strategic interest.

It's not yet time to celebrate, folks, the new EU AI legislation falls WOEFULLY short of protecting our communities against the unacceptable roll out of facial recognition for mass surveillance – THREAD 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽
1) The legislation is a HUGE missed opportunity to address some of the most pervasive rights-eroding technology of our time. Rather than imposing a blanket ban on facial recognition for mass surveillance, it proposes a limited ban, which amounts to frankly the bare minimum. 🤦🏽♂️
