cross-posted from: https://links.hackliberty.org/post/3131536

The unwarranted surveillance policies that get enshrined into law and all the illegal snooping by the gov seems to trace to anti-terror legislation and anti-terror backroom initiatives. I have to wonder, is this all attributed to Israel? If the US and other Israel allies had quit supporting Israel during their oppression of Palestinians, would there be a notable terror threat that could then be the cause for action (for unwarranted snooping) under the anti-terror façade? Would bankers had been converted into police had it not been for Israel’s oppression of Palestine?

Is this why we will lose cash in the future?

Have any privacy orgs calculated how many terror incidents stem from a consequence of supporting Israel? This could even count the white supremacist nutters who attack mosques in retaliation.

What would be a more effective anti-terror policy?:

  • Snoop on everyone in every possible way. Wiretaps, forced banking, making bankers into cops, video surveillance everywhere with facial recognition.. etc.

or

  • Stop supporting Israel.

🇺🇸 Negli Stati Uniti la polizia può costringervi a sbloccare il telefono con le impronte digitali

L’iperfalso (o “deepfake”) è una tecnologia basata sull’intelligenza artificiale che permette di creare immagini o video estremamente realistici. Questa tecnologia viene spesso abusata per sovrapporre il volto di una persona in contesti compromettenti senza il suo consenso, violando così gravemente la privacy individuale. Per far fro…

The gun industry launched a secret project in the late 1990s.

To elect gun-friendly politicians, manufacturers gave #political operatives sensitive, intimate information on their customers without their consent.

The story behind the #data sharing and its impact has never been revealed.

Until now.
