The problem with having a surveillance state is not that they will know everything about you. The problem is that they will assert that they know everything about you. And you’re screwed either way; no matter if they’re right or wrong.

So, if I understood correctly, the BW Greens gave all our data to Palantir "so that Palantir doesn't go to waste, because it has already been bought".
That reminds me of a joke where a guy visits his friend and sees the friend's children naked in the snow:
- Why are your children naked in the snow?
- Oh, I found some cough syrup about to expire, so I wouldn't want it to go to waste!

"Don't be evil". A hallowed mantra, stemming partly from academia, which used to be said in the offices of #Google, #Facebook & #Amazon, long ago - in their infancy.
Since then... let's just say when Google removed the phrase pinned up on the wall of their offices, that was the line in the sand for me.
That's also when they became pioneers by helping to create the #Chinese #SurveillanceState - curiously enough.

EVERETT, #Washington — The City of #Everett has shut down its entire network of [68] #Flock license plate reader cameras after a Snohomish County judge ruled the footage those cameras collect qualifies as a public record.
The decision came after a Washington man filed public records requests seeking access to data captured by the cameras.
...
Franklin said if lawmakers pass legislation allowing cities to shield Flock data from public disclosure, Everett would consider turning the cameras back on. She said the city is not dismantling or removing the cameras in the meantime.
“Should we get a fix in Olympia that allows us to protect the data from public disclosure, then we can make the decision to turn them back on,” Franklin said.

Sounds to me like there are 68 Flock cameras that aren't currently recording acts of vandalism to Flock cameras 💁🏼♀️

Über Informationsfreiheit als Menschenrecht, die Brutalität digitaler Zensur, und was du heute noch dagegen tun kannst.
Wir leben in einer Zeit, in der Information nicht mehr nur Macht ist, sie ist Überleben. Und wer über Information herrscht, herrscht über Realität. Das wissen Diktatoren. Das wissen autoritäre Regime. Das wissen auch einige demokratisch gewählte Regierungen besser, als ihnen lieb sein sollte. Die Frage ist: Wissen wir es auch? [Mehr lesen...]

Bloomington, Indiana has a contract with Flock Safety for surveillance cameras that share their data with ICE. This was at a recent protest to rescind the city's contract with Flock. #ice #resistance #flock #fascism #poliestate #surveillancestate #bloomington #indiana #protest

"Homeland security field agents are scouring the social media site Reddit, monitoring the communications of law-abiding Americans critical of the agency.
The spying is revealed in a January intelligence bulletin produced by the Border Patrol and leaked to me."
