In an exclusive interview with The Times, the Met’s director of intelligence, Lindsey Chiswick, said that the tool had been a “game-changer”, triggering an arrest every two hours of alleged criminals including rapists, burglars and robbers since it was introduced last April.
A Whitehall source said that it had been so successful that the government was planning to make a policy statement setting out its facial recognition strategy in May or June.
#EU#Biometrics#EURODAC#Surveillance#FacialRecognition#AsylumReform: "On Wednesday (10 April), the EU is set to vote on a new set of asylum and migration reforms. Among the many controversial changes proposed in the new migration pact, one went almost unnoticed — a seemingly innocent reform of the EU's asylum database, EURODAC.
Although framed as purely technical adjustments, the reality is far more malicious. The changes to EURODAC will massively exacerbate violence against people on the move.
Reform of this 20 year-old database will make it the technological sword of EU's hostile asylum and border policies. It will harness the most nefarious surveillance technologies that exist to date — namely the capture, processing and analysis of biometric data — and enable EU states to have full control over migrants' body and movements.
With the collection of biometrics, the body has already become a "passport" for many. Biometrics is the process of making data out of a person's biological or physiological characteristics. Fingerprints, facial images and iris scans are among the forms of biometrics most widely used by states to uniquely identify a person." https://euobserver.com/opinion/158292

Children referred to Prevent will have their referral shared with children’s services and this data kept for 25 years after their 18th birthday.
So it'll still be available when they're an adult and may impact any future assessment concerning their own children and any children’s services interventions.
The data of people referred to Prevent, including children, could be shared with airports, ports and immigration services, which could result in them being stopped under Schedule 7 of the Terrorism Act.
Read our report on how unaccountable data sharing under Prevent is harming a generation for more ⬇️
@kaydenpat Biden doubling down on oil production isn't the sell you think it is, but yet another way both establishment US parties screw everyone under 50 (in the US and around the world) for the sake of propping up record-breaking billionaire profits just a little longer.
The horrific irony is that a less right-wing Democratic Party would have a better chance electorally too.
If the #DNC actually wanted to defeat #fascism in the USA, rather than walk the slightly slower path towards it, they wouldn't be supporting an ongoing #genocide of brown people by arming #Israel, they wouldn't be expanding the powers of the #police and #surveillance state (and #SurveillanceCapitalism), and they wouldn't be pursuing their #AllOfTheAbove energy policy, locking in #ClimateCrisis for every generation we can imagine into the future.
This post I co-authored with Falastine Saleh delves into the impact of Israeli surveillance technologies in Palestine and how localized instances of its use contribute to widespread global adoption.
It also highlights how spyware & surveillance companies navigate global scrutiny by rebranding and establishing offices worldwide, all while a network of venture capital firms facilitate their operations & help them avoid much needed accountability:
FTC denies rating board's suggestion for age verification system
The Federal Trade Commission has denied a petition to allow companies to use facial age estimation (FAE) technology to obtain parental consent when collecting data from children under 13, a requirement for the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).

'The reform of Australia’s federal Privacy Act 1988 [!] seems to have become a never-ending process of vague uncertain commitments regularly delaying actual legislation. The latest instalment is the new Labor government’s Government response to the Privacy Act Review Report (September 2023). Draft legislation is not expected until some time in 2024.'

Begging the question aside, this is just 2005's crap arguments reheated with an added side dish of false analogy. And isn't there too much personal data being collected already?

#UK#London#Surveillance#Biometrics#FacialRecognition: "The question of who, exactly, police want to talk to is what privacy watchdogs are concerned about. One 23-year-old man flagged by the system for possession of points and blades was later found to have six rounds of ammunition, stolen mobile phones, a large quantity of cannabis and a stolen Oyster card linked to a robbery in 2022. Other arrests were variously for assault, burglary, theft, pickpocketing, breaching court-imposed conditions, fraud, threatening behavior and obstructing a constable.
Calling these arrests “precision policing” is dubious at best, says Madeleine Stone, senior advocacy officer for Big Brother Watch.
“Rather than actively pursuing people who pose a risk to the public, police officers are relying on chance and hoping that wanted people happen to walk in front of a police camera.”
A news release on the Met police’s website says the facial recognition system “identifies people who are on a bespoke watchlist which can include those who are wanted, have outstanding arrest warrants as issued by the court, or to ensure a person is complying with their conditions.”
#Surveillance#Biometrics#FacialRecognition#Israel#Palestine#Gaza: "Israel is deploying a mass facial recognition program in Gaza, conducting surveillance of Palestinians without their knowledge or consent, according to a new report from The New York Times.
As the publisher reports, speaking to Israeli intelligence officers, military officials, and soldiers, the facial recognition program is run by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF)'s military Unit 8200, which is "collecting and cataloging the faces of Palestinians". The program reportedly uses technology from Corsight, an Israel facial recognition company that provides services for government agencies, law enforcement, and corporations, alongside Google Photos.
The Times says this mass surveillance is being rolled out in Israel to identify members of Hamas, following the Oct. 7 attacks. The Israeli military also set up checkpoints — along roads Palestinians are using to flee the war — with facial recognition cameras, and soldiers have used security camera footage, videos uploaded by Hamas on social media, and also asked Palestinian prisoners to identify anyone affiliated with Hamas." https://mashable.com/article/israel-palestine-gaza-facial-recognition-program
