🇮🇳 As India becomes the world's most populous nation, increased digitisation and policing of online content have raised concerns over privacy violations and surveillance of citizens. context.news/surveillance/su…

Don’t want the government to pass powers to spy on the population’s bank accounts…? Neither do we. We’re fighting back - and fighting to win. We MUST win this - join us! ➡️ bigbrotherwatch.org.uk/join/…
⚠️Warning: The Government is sneaking in powers to spy on all of our bank accounts on the premise of dealing with welfare fraud. These powers will be debated today during #DPDIBill in the House of Lords. Peers must unite against widespread surveillance & defend our privacy.

🚨Your driving licence image could soon be added to a HUGE police facial recognition database. Policing Minister @CPhilpOfficial is sneaking these unprecedented surveillance powers into the new Criminal Justice Bill. It will give police extraordinary powers to identify and track anyone with a driving licence, at the click of a button. ❌We must resist!

Palantir bought all the UK NHS data... sorry it's being PAID £330m to steal it all. It's worth $60bn. Expect all your life, health, car insurance to skyrocket if you have any medical issues, while you will be bombarded with targeted ads. A criminal breach of privacy.

👑The #KingsSpeech revealed plans to add yet more spying powers to the Snoopers' Charter. "The Government says it will give them the power to veto private tech companies' privacy and security features. Such powers would be more extreme than even the world's most despotic regimes. This would be yet another Bill that would exert extraordinary control to treat private companies as extensions of the state in order to conduct mass surveillance of millions of law-abiding citizens. It would be a major blow to the population's security." - Silkie Carlo, Director, Big Brother Watch

⚠️Reminder: there is no specific law governing the use of facial recognition Since the first-ever live facial recognition deployment 7 years ago, there have been 2975 false matches. The Home Office should be fixing policing, not turning Britain into a nation of suspects.
I set out in today’s Telegraph how AI , including AI-driven facial recognition, is helping the Police catch serious criminals without compromising the privacy or safety of the law-abiding majority

🚨BREAKING🚨 The Government has issued an apology to UK journalist @JuliaHB1 after we uncovered that they unlawfully branded her as a “vaccine sceptic” in a secretive disinformation report. We found that the report was even sent to the US Government’s Global Engagement Centre, which was established to support “public communications activities targeted against violent extremism and terrorist organizations”.

👁️Live facial recognition technology has the potential to END privacy in public life. @madeleine_st0ne condemns #Essex Police's plans to deploy this Orwellian technology on masses of people in Southend tomorrow & in Chelmsford on Wednesday.
