@autonomysolidarity Reconnaissance faciale européenne pour les écoliers brésiliens

Un logiciel slovaque scanne chaque jour des centaines de milliers d'enfants au Paraná. De tels systèmes sont à peine imaginables en Europe - ils sont néanmoins exportés sans problème.

Les cours dans 1 700 écoles de l'État du Paraná, au sud du Brésil, commencent par un rituel : l'enseignant ouvre une application, photographie la salle de classe et en quelques secondes, un algorithme compare les visages avec une base de données biométrique. Celui qui est reconnu est considéré comme présent. Depuis 2023, cette reconnaissance faciale est utilisée au Paraná pour identifier près d'un million d'enfants par jour.'

Überwachung und digitale Sicherheit: Europäische Gesichts­erkennung für brasilianische Schulkinder

Eine slowakische Software scannt täglich Hunderttausende Kinder in Paraná. In Europa sind solche Systeme kaum denkbar – exportiert werden sie trotzdem problemlos.

Europäische Gesichts­erkennung für brasilianische Schulkinder

‚Eine slowakische Software scannt täglich Hunderttausende Kinder in Paraná. In Europa sind solche Systeme kaum denkbar – exportiert werden sie trotzdem problemlos.

Der Unterricht an 1.700 Schulen im südbrasilianischen Bundesstaat Paraná beginnt mit einem Ritual: Die Lehrkraft öffnet eine App, fotografiert das Klassenzimmer, und in Sekunden gleicht ein Algorithmus die Gesichter mit einer biometrischen Datenbank ab. Wer erkannt wird, gilt als anwesend. Seit 2023 ist diese Gesichtserkennung in Paraná im Einsatz, um täglich fast eine Million Kinder zu identifizieren.‘

Italy renews 41bis regime against Alfredo Cospito

‚Italian Minister of Justice Carlo Nordio has decided to renew 41bis for Alfredo Cospito. The measure, expected by 4 May, was notified to defence attorney Flavio Rossi Albertini and confirms the hardest possible line: no retreat, no review, no doubt. It is not a technicality. It is not administrative routine. It is a deliberate political choice that must be called by its name: revenge.

41bis is not a simple restrictive measure. It is prolonged isolation, deprivation of contact, restriction of speech, rarefaction of social life to the point of unbearable. It is a regime that depletes the person, that reduces existence to controlled survival. For this reason, for years, jurists, observers, and organisations have labelled it a form of torture. Not a metaphor: a description….‘
