There seems to be a big #Tesla#PrivacyScandal: #CameraGate
Who can investigate?
Not one of this federal #US agencies* is on #Mastodon. Disgraceful:
Federal Trade Commission (#FTC)
Federal Communications Commission (#FCC)
Federal Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (#CFPB)
Department of Health and Human Services (#HHS) Office of Civil Rights (#OCR)
Securities and Exchange Commission (#SEC)
Tesla Inc assures its millions of electric car owners that their privacy “is and will always be enormously important to us.” The cameras it builds <a href="https://www.reuters.com/legal/elon-musks-2018-tweet-tesla-union-campaign-illegal-us-court-rules-2023-03-31/" target="_blank">into vehicles</a> to assist driving, it notes on its website, are “designed from the ground up to protect your privacy.”
Het einde van #cameragate. College van bestuur zet de 371 slimme camera’s definitief uit. ‘Als u vindt dat deze technologie niet thuishoort op deze universiteit, dan halen we deze weg.’
De 371 slimme camera’s van de Universiteit Leiden blijven definitief uit. Dat heeft het college van bestuur maandag besloten na een negatief advies van de universiteitsraad. ‘Als u vindt dat deze technologie hier niet thuishoort, halen we deze weg.’

I am shocked that surveillance cameras were installed indoors at Leiden University.
As the letter states, there are better ways of quantifying room occupancy. More importantly, what use is that data? If it’s about allocating rooms, a digital room booking system actually solves the issue while also giving meaningful occupancy figures. If it’s about facilities/energy, what use is knowing that on Wednesday afternoon 12 students were in room A.232?
NEW: The CvB has said they'll follow the advice of the University Council on the AI-driven smart cameras they secretively put up in #LeidenUniversity
The UC deliberates on this on MONDAY 30/1.
There's still time to sign the open letter!

Just over a year ago, a spokesperson for #LeidenUniversity said the smart cameras installed secretively during lockdown would ONLY be turned back on 'if students and staff are convinced they are safe'.
Over 300 have now signed a letter of concern addressed to the University Council:

We are NOT convinced.
We want them to take the cameras DOWN.

Vice-collegevoorzitter Martijn Ridderbos over de slimme camera’s:‘Dit systeem komt ook niet ons als bestuur ten goede, maar met name de studenten en medewerkers.’
Vice-collegevoorzitter Martijn Ridderbos legt uit waarom de slimme camera’s volgens hem weer aangezet kunnen worden. ‘Dit systeem komt ook niet ons als bestuur ten goede, maar met name de studenten en medewerkers.’
