SPFD’s unlawful surveillance, harassment & targeting of marginalized communities–from the 19th Century to now–has persisted over the decades.

We are proud to be among Bay Area and California civil and immigrant rights organizations that filed an amicus brief today in support of the plaintiffs in Williams v. San Francisco. Led by @aaaj_alc, the brief chronicles SFPD’s sweeping legacy of unlawful and abusive surveillance

This is the third confirmed case of a face recognition error putting a Black man in handcuffs. How many are in jail right now because they couldn't prove they weren't where this problematic tech convinced prosecutors they were? nytimes.com/2020/12/29/techn…

Seriously, @MassGovernor ?? Facial recognition is fundamentally biased, invasive and ripe for abuse... And I say this as a professional who deals with #cybersecurity and #privacy on the daily.
@MassAGO
Massachusetts: Governor Baker is trying to weaken the police reform bill by eliminating prohibitions on police use of face recognition technology. Ask your representatives to champion progress and reject the removal of Section 26. action.eff.org/o/9042/p/dia/…
This week BMLP co-founder @AbiHassen joined @eff for the latest episode of "How to Fix the Internet." Listen in to hear why the fight to ban face surveillance is not just a Fourth Amendment issue but critical to advocating against systemic injustice. eff.org/deeplinks/2020/11/po…

Unknown racists painted “Fuck BLM” over “Black Women Matter” on the Beta Bridge. While some local anti fascists were removing the racist message, two men driving by yelled “fuck black lives.” Please be careful out there #Cville + #UVA - if you see racist shit, let us know.
