ICE’s Plan to Let #Cops Around the Country Scan Faces to #Verify #Immigration Status

Immigration and Customs #Enforcement (ICE) plans to give potentially more than a thousand local #law enforcement agencies a #facial #recognition #app that would query a #database of hundreds of millions of images to verify someone’s immigration status, according to an internal Department of #Homeland #Security (DHS) document obtained by 404 Media.

Once she looked closer, the whole shop began to resemble a ballet of rules, gestures, and rehearsed obedience. There was a law in play, but how was it phrased?

Title 15, Section 45(c)

All these lofty slogans about freedom of speech were just a spectacle, she concluded. They must all have permits… or there was — her brain…

I can't help but feel that in this world, the wrong people are the ones deciding what's right and what's wrong.

#Palantir is turning the #NHS into a tool for mass #surveillance

NHS England Federated #Data Platform, run by controversial US #military contractor Palantir, gives future #UK government power to use patients’ #healthcare #data against them

- The same thing is being enabled by Palantir into the UK

Palantir is turning the NHS into a tool for mass surveillance

Kicking out Palantir, experts warn, may not solve the problems its Federated Data Platform has created.

“Dystopian” Police.AI Launches in UK Amid False Arrests

He has company. Colin McMahon, a 59-year-old roofer, was #handcuffed on Harlesden High Street by the Metropolitan #Police after a #camera linked him to a £300 furniture #theft from Ikea.


There was a small problem with that allegation though. He was running an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting ten miles away at the time, and a magistrate later acquitted him.

The evidence that justified hauling him to court? Court documents show officers noted he had “the same glasses, similar facial features, a skinny body structure and similar white shoes” as the #suspect.

WTF?

Tried to find 1984 and Brave New World at @gutenberg_org

Could not find both.

George Orwell is not listed in the search anymore.

I have downloaded both of them from there several years ago.

What the heck is going on?

If I have made a mistake in the search, let me know.
