It wouldn’t be the first time a government had used sensitive data to harm its own people. After all, from 1976, Argentina had been ruled for seven years by a military dictatorship that collected extensive data about the public through surveys and polls, which was used to craft propaganda and influence citizens.

In that same era, data formed the backbone of the notorious Operation Condor, a United States-backed campaign of terror and repression carried out jointly by several dictatorships in the countries of the Southern Cone, which include Chile, Argentina, Brazil and Bolivia. These countries contributed and shared data about citizens seen as threats to the authoritarian governments, including left-leaning politicians and thinkers, trade unionists and clergy. That information was stored in a shared computer system used by the group to plan abductions, ‘disappearances’, tortures and even assassinations.

The people’s data became a weapon used against them.

House Votes to Extend—and Expand—a Major US Spy Program

The US House of Representatives voted on Friday to extend the Section 702 spy program. It passed without an amendment that would have required the FBI to obtain a warrant to access Americans’ information.

Rather than begin applying for warrants, the government has circumvented the ruling in many cases, buying up GPS data from companies that consumers largely believe are tracking them purely for advertising purposes

“They’re buying data. That’s what they’re doing,” says Warren Davidson, a Republican congressperson from Ohio. “They’re structuring markets to collect the data and they’re circumventing the Fourth Amendment. We need to turn that off.”

Bloomberg - Are you a robot?

“This is the first time we’ve ever had an isolated version – when isolated means it’s not connected to the internet – and it’s on a special network that’s only accessible by the US government,”

The GPT4 model placed in the cloud is static, meaning it can read files but not learn from them, or from the open internet. This way, Chappell said, the government can keep its model “clean,” and prevent secret information from getting absorbed into the platform.

Leaked FBI Email Reportedly Shows Desperation to Justify Warrantless Wiretaps

"I urge everyone to continue to look for ways to appropriately use US person queries..."

gizmodo.com

Congress reauthorized America’s warrantless wiretapping program last month after some successful fearmongering by national security hawks on Capitol Hill. But an internal FBI email, leaked to Wired on Wednesday, may accidentally reveal how the federal law enforcement agency plans to overstep the spirit of the law, while technically maintaining the letter of the law.

The controversial spying program is Section 702 in the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) and allows the interception of foreign communications that sometimes include American citizens.

Αυτες οι καταστασεις απο την γη της ελευθεριας, δεν μου κανουν καμια εντυπωση. Κλαιν μαιν πατατακια να πουμε.
Ακομα και τα παρασιτα που εχουν στα εντερα τους, ρομποτ παρακολουθησης πρεπει να ειναι.
Για εμενα προβλημα σοβαρο θα ειναι εαν τα δουμε και στην Ευρωπη. Το καλο ειναι οτι στην Ευρωπη καιμε και κανεναν καδο, οχι στην Ελλαδα που ο γκοσμος δεν τολμαει να μυρισει την πορδη του. Οταν εμεις καναμε επαναστασεις, στην αμερικη ζουσαν μονο οι αυτοχθονες. Αυτοι εκαναν μια επανασταση και νομιζουν οτι ανακαλυψαν τις επαναστασεις και την δημοκρατια. Ο λογος που γλυστραει ομορφα η καμερα στον πισινο τους,
Πρεπει ομως να παραδεχτω οτι εκει εχουν την πιο αορατη στρατοκρατια. ταχυδακτυλουργοι ειναι τα παλουκαρια. Τους εχουν δεμενους και νομιζουν οτι πετανε ελευθεροι.

Met Police officers accessed controversial facial recognition site 2,000 times

PimEyes, which allows internet-wide image searches of people, was accessed over 2,000 times from Met computers, prompting Scotland Yard to block access

Γατακια αμερικανοι που θελετε και ενταλμα, οι Βρετανοι μπατσοι ειναι μιλιουνια χρονια μπροστα στη παρακολουθηση

Scotland Yard has banned officers from using a controversial facial recognition search engine after it was accessed thousands of times from Metropolitan Police computers.

PimEyes, which allows users to upload photographs of people and match them with images of the same individuals elsewhere on the internet, has given rise to concern from privacy campaigners that it could be used by stalkers or to carry out surveillance.

MPs have warned that the technology is “invasive and dangerous” and called for it to be banned from open access.


But data released under Freedom of Information (FOI) rules to i and Liberty Investigates show the PimEyes site, which is based in Tbilisi, Georgia, was visited from Metropolitan Police computers 2,337 times in a three-month period since the start of this year.

The Met, along with other UK police forces, already has access to facial recognition software capable of matching images of suspects with official databases. But unlike those tools, PimEyes could be used by an officer or staff member without an official audit trail of searches or safeguards around which images are submitted.
