ACLU Senior Policy Counsel for surveillance, privacy & technology. New Yorker. Views my own (unless my feed is hacked - then they're somebody else's)
To preserve privacy in the digital age, high tech government surveillance tools — like reverse warrants — must be reined in. The Supreme Court recently issued a ruling to help protect our privacy, now our lawmakers must finish the job.
‘Reverse warrants’ should worry all Americans who value their libertiesSupreme Court and Delaware recently restricted reverse warrants, strengthening Fourth Amendment privacy protections.thehill.comThe public is catching on to Flock's surveillance scheme — and successfully fighting back against the company's efforts to expand its network of creepy cameras even more. Flock can't stop the power of the people.
Excellent coverage of mass surveillance using license plate readers by @democracynow.org, with great commentary by @chadmarlow.bsky.social and appearances by @bennjordan.bsky.social and DeflockSLO. Definitely worth 11 minutes of your time. www.youtube.com/watch?v=oaro...
Flock Cameras: ACLU Raises Alarm About Nationwide Surveillance DatabaseYouTube video by Democracy Now!www.youtube.com
👆 Don't suppose Mr Langley has taken you up on your debate offer for this Disrupt event @chadmarlow.bsky.social ? "Flock calling its grassroots opponents 'terrorists' is inappropriate and speaks volumes about Flock" youtu.be/6HRxy5glL5E
Flock regularly misleads the public about their business practices, safety record, and commitment to privacy. They've even lied about partnering with the ACLU — which we'd never do. Government officials and the police shouldn't automatically trust what surveillance tech companies tell them.
Flock Lied About its ALPR technology. What Else Has It Lied About?ACLU documents how surveillance camera company Flock has lied to local officials about its operationswww.aclu.org"In these incredibly divisive political times, we’re actually seeing the rare issue that unites Americans: opposition to government #surveillance. And I don’t think it’s going anywhere. I think this movement is only going to grow." - @chadmarlow.bsky.social #deflock #alpr
Police keep losing their jobs for using Flock cameras to stalk peopleAdvocates say it's too easy to abuse automated license plate reader technology.www.motherjones.comBREAKING: The Supreme Court just ruled that the Fourth Amendment applies to police use of overbroad "geofence warrants" to search for and locate unknown numbers of people in a large geographical area. This win reinforces that we don't lose our right to privacy simply because we use a cell phone.
"I've been doing this work for 12 years, and I have never seen a stronger anti-surveillance environment amongst the public in the United States than I see right now." - @chadmarlow.bsky.social (Senior Policy Counsel, ACLU) #surveillance #privacy #4a #SOS
DeFlock RedmondHere's the recording of the webinar launching the "Solidarity Over Surveillance" campaign on Wednesday, June 3. 👀 "Corporate and government #surveillance violates our constitutional rights — and policymakers must put a stop to it." #SOS #privacy
We all deserve the ability to go about our daily lives without being tracked or surveilled by the government. That's why lawmakers need to act now and pass common-sense protections to defend our privacy.
