Remaining remnants of KGB influence of #SantaOno
This is what passes for “the UofM #college experience”?
Does tuition cover #surveilence ?
Parents must be pissed…I smell #lawsuits.

“The #uofm has canceled its contract for #undercover investigators to surveil pro-#palestinian #campus groups, following outcry after a Guardian story revealed the PI’s had been trailing & recording #students for mo’s & published damning video of 1 investigator’s interaction w/a student.”

University of Michigan ends undercover surveillance contracts after Guardian revelations — Guardian US

Outcry after report that private investigators had been trailing and recording pro-Palestinian protesters for months

We study mass surveillance for social control, and we see Trump laying the groundwork to ‘contain’ people of color and immigrants

Create a moral panic. Blame it on certain people. Commence monitoring. Deploy droves of security agents. Detain or remove the targets. Sound familiar?

The Conversation
@jsrailton surely you don't intend to own a car so you can escape #surveilence on the #subway #bus and other forms of #public transport? I don't consider my (#tesla) car a distinctly private space and if it were practical, I'd actually prefer not to own my car and use a shared car instead.

Die Militarisierung der Polizei hat denselben Zweck wie das Vermummungsverbot, Backdoors, Überwachung, staatliche Daten-Sammlung und -Verknüpfung.
Dasselbe mit Rechten gegen Hassattacken im Internet.

Eingesetzt werden sie nicht zu *unserem* Nutzen, nicht zu unserem individuellen Schutz ggen Attacken.
Liegt das nur an einer rechtsbeugenden #Praxis der #Polizei, oder ist erfüllt das alles genau den erwünschten Zweck?
