#StopFacialRecognition

Facial recognition has no place in a free society. The technology can be abused, has been abused, and will be abused by tyrannical governments and the police forces they employ. Many people have already been falsely accused and arrested due to errors by facial recognition technology. All of us are potential victims. Although the technology can be used to reduce crime, its place is inside prisons, not surveilling the general public. Constant monitoring and tracking by the government crushes the human spirit, reducing us into little more than compliant, organic robots.

Governments Are Waging War On Internet Anonymity.

online internet anonymity

Governments around the world are attacking online anonymity. They are attempting to pass legislation that would require a government-issued or approved photo ID in order to gain access to social media sites. Some US states are also proposing ID requirements to view websites with 33% or more "adult content", but the definition of adult content is left purposely vague and could include virtually anything at the discretion of the "authorities".

In the same way that government-sponsored terrorism was used to enact anti-privacy rules in the financial realm (so-called "Know Your Customer" rules) governments use fear-based excuses to destroy our freedom, and internet anonymity is no exception. This time, children are being used, with politicians claiming we must protect the young ones from online hate, bullying, and porn. While these are valid arguments, locking down the internet to anyone who is unwilling or unable to satisfy government requirements is like killing a mosquito with a cannon. And it's not the government's job to protect us from web content. If children are viewing things they shouldn't be seeing, then it's the parent's job to monitor and control their children's internet browsing. And content filters are available to help parents keep their kids safe.

But this isn't about keeping kids safe. It's about ending anonymity for everyone, including whistleblowers, battered women hiding from their abusers, and political dissenters. It would mean everything you post online could be tied back to your employer, your bank, law enforcement, and eventually, your social credit score. It would have a chilling effect on bloggers, investigative reporters, and other content producers who work to expose the government's crimes. And it would put people at risk of losing their jobs if they dared to criticize their employers. 

Online anonymity creates a unique set of challenges that society has to deal with. But ending that anonymity would create even worse challenges, including unchecked abuses of power, self-imposed censorship, and the end of open and free debates. 

Write to your representatives and demand that they keep their hands off the internet and let it be the free and private community space that it was designed to be.

The Age of Surveillance Capitalism.

 

Big tech companies track everything we do, everywhere we go, and in many cases, everything we say. Then they use that data to program A.I. computer systems which in turn are used to control our behavior. This is on top of the profits they earn by selling our personal information to endless corporations. Google and Facebook are the biggest offenders, but even automakers are jumping into the game.

In this video, Professor Shoshana Zuboff explains how it all works, and how it puts human society at risk.
