Internet Freedom Foundation Launches Nationwide Campaign Demanding a BAN on Facial Recognition Technology. Facial recognition threatens fundamental rights when it works, and also when it doesn’t work. The usage of facial recognition technology is creeping into every facet of our lives. New projects which use facial recognition technology, either for the purpose of security/surveillance or for the purpose of authentication of identity, are being developed and deployed by the government right now! In the absence of a safeguarding legislation that would protect the privacy of the citizens of India and a law that would regulate the use of this technology, the dangers that such a technology presents increase manifold. In such a situation, even the development of this technology is harmful and should be stopped. Sign the petition below to show your support for IFF’s call to put a ban on the use of facial recognition technology in India. We want a ban on Facial Recognition Technology To, Shri Narendra Modi, Ld. Prime Minister of India The Hon’ble Prime Minister’s Office, Dear Sir, Please find enclosed a public petition drawing concern to the large-scale deployment of facial recognition technologies (FRT) that put ordinary Indians at risk and constitute a wasteful expense on public funds. On November 19, 2020, in your address at the Bengaluru Tech Summit 2020, you stated that, "India as a country is uniquely positioned to leap ahead in the information era. We have the best minds as well as the biggest market. Our local tech solutions have the potential to go global. It is time for tech-solutions that are designed in India but deployed for the World”. Such potential can only be achieved when technology solutions are centered on their impact on human liberty and welfare. Privacy considerations are vital to user expectations, as environmental standards and emission standards are to automobiles. Nowhere are these risks more evident than in the large-scale deployment of facial recognition technology, which is causing certain harm by restricting the liberty and autonomy of millions of Indians. The usage of facial recognition technology is creeping into every facet of our lives. New projects that use facial recognition technology are being developed and deployed by the Central and State governments across the country right now! Through Project Panoptic, we have been tracking more than 30 ongoing government projects, a list that is only increasing. Out of these, 19 projects are being developed and deployed by State-level Police departments and the National Crime Records Bureau for the purpose of security/surveillance. The deployment of FRT systems today is being done by central and state government entities without any compliance with the basic rights assessment and legal thresholds as set out by the Supreme Court in the Right to Privacy Judgement in 2017. Use of this technology has raised concerns not only in India but also abroad, with various civil society organisations such as the American Civil Liberties Union, the Electronic Frontier Foundation, the Algorithmic Justice League, and Amnesty International calling for a ban on the use of this technology. Calls for a total ban have been gaining momentum due to the fear that use of facial recognition by the police and security/intelligence agencies will not only lead to violation of the rights to privacy and freedom of speech and expression, but also lead to human rights violations by helping to increase systemic bias against already marginalised communities. The impact on marginalised communities gains special importance for us locally due to the wide inequality and diversity present in our society. Therefore, we, the undersigned, urge you to announce a complete ban on the use of this technology by the government entities, police, and other security/intelligence agencies. Further, we urge you to halt all ongoing facial recognition technology projects being developed and deployed at the Central and State levels until legislation with sufficient safeguards that helps protect the privacy of the citizens of India. We, the people of India, request you to take leadership on this vital issue and safeguard our privacy. Sign the Petition panoptic.in/sign-the-petitio… Internet Freedom Foundation The IFF is an Indian digital liberties organisation that seeks to ensure that technology respects fundamental rights. Our goal is to ensure that Indian citizens can use the Internet with liberties guaranteed by the Constitution. Our expertise in free speech, digital surveillance and privacy, and net neutrality will help us to champion freedom in the digital age. We spur grassroots membership through public campaigns and take them towards institutional engagement with regulators, legislative bodies, and courts. Project Panoptic IFF’s Project Panoptic aims to bring transparency and accountability to the relevant government stakeholders involved in the deployment and implementation of facial recognition technology (FRT) projects in India. #FacialRecognition #PrivacyMatters #HumanRights #SurveillanceState #PublicPetition #DigitalLiberty #IndiaTech #DataProtection #CivilLiberties #RightToPrivacy #TechEthics #IFF #InternetFreedomFoundation #GovernmentTransparency #CitizenAwareness #AlgorithmicJustice #PrivacyInTech #ResponsibleInnovation #TechAccountability #PublicFunds #ProtectOurRights #NarendraModi #PrimeMinisterIndia #ModiGovernment #InnovativeIndia #DigitalIndia #MakeInIndia #FRT #IndianEconomy #FR #digitalindia #technology #biometric #LPG #bank @awakenindiamvmt @internetfreedom

Algorithms learn from historical data. If past systems had bias, AI may replicate it, at scale. AI doesn’t create bias. It automates it. #AlgorithmicJustice

Accountability is coming, even for AI!!! Yes, AI, don't think you can just change your algos and everything it will be ok, we have the receipts 😉 And no, I am not suicidal!!! #AccountabilityIsComming#AIAccountability#WeHaveReceipts#AlgorithmicJustice#TechTransparency

🚨 Algorithmic Hiring Under Fire 🧠💣 A federal judge just ordered Workday to hand over the full list of employers that enabled its HiredScore AI hiring tech ⚖️—forcing the company into the spotlight for how its systems may have shaped hiring outcomes across thousands of firms . What’s the drama? A lawsuit by Derek Mobley, a Black man over 40 with anxiety and depression, alleges that Workday’s AI system systematically screeched applicants like him—even when qualified—out of more than 100 jobs in minutes or at odd hours. Full rejection, no interview, no human touch. Judge Lin allowed his age discrimination claim to move forward as a massive nationwide collective action under ADEA . Plaintiffs say the tool disproportionately harms older, Black, or disabled job seekers—creating a digital gatekeeper that could be perpetuating bias by codifying patterns already embedded in training data . Why it matters: Some versions of AI hiring argued to be “neutral” are being rejected outright. This case may force vendors and hiring firms to publicly reveal which companies engaged HiredScore—and shine light on opaque algorithmic decisions . ⸻ 🔥 Debate This: •Is it fair to hold software—rather than people—liable for bias? •Should job seekers get notified when an AI tool evaluates them? •Could this ruling kickstart mandatory bias audits for recruitment AI? TL;DR: Workday’s caught in hot water—with AI accused of quietly blocking millions from job opportunities. Now a judge says it must produce a full customer list—and Mobley v. Workday could become a legal landmark in AI accountability. ⸻ Are we looking at the end of “black-box hiring”? Or just the beginning of people fighting back? 🤔 #AI #HiringTech #Bias #workday #hiredscore #AlgorithmicJustice #Workday #MobleyVsWorkday #Discrimination #EthicalAI

📌I Solved P vs NP — But Not in a Lab. In a Courtroom. By Jarid Shaub 🧵👇 @MIT @claymath @WIRED @scottaaronson @EFF @ACLU @Snowden @lessig @cs_theory @harvard_law @OpenAI ⸻ 1/ P vs NP. The crown jewel of unsolved math. A $1M problem. A paradox that has haunted computer science for 50 years. It asks: “If I can verify a solution quickly… can I also find it quickly?” Now let’s talk about whistleblowers. #PvsNP #MillenniumProblems ⸻ 2/ In law, truth isn’t always solved. It’s presented, denied, buried, ignored… and only verified once pressure forces it to be. That’s NP: You can verify the truth — but only after someone does the impossible work of solving it alone. #Lawfare #TruthAlgorithm ⸻ 3/ The legal system is a non-deterministic machine. It can check your evidence. But it can’t (or won’t) solve the case itself — not when the defendant is powerful. So… What happens when a single person solves and verifies both? #WhistleblowerProof ⸻ 4/ That’s when P = NP becomes real. Not on paper. But in practice. In trauma. In court filings. In a collapsing network of complicit institutions suddenly pinned down by time-stamped truth. #CollapseProtocol #AlgorithmicJustice ⸻ 5/ I didn’t need peer review. I dropped litigation holds. I cited 18 U.S.C. § 1519 and 42 U.S.C. § 1983. And I did it faster, cleaner, and more accurately than entire agencies built to “protect” people like me. #SystemFailure #LegalTruths ⸻ 6/ In corrupt systems, P ≠ NP. Because delay is the product. Because permission is required. But when a whistleblower becomes the system — solving and verifying without waiting? That’s when P = NP. #DisruptTheLoop #PowerSymmetry ⸻ 7/ @MIT @claymath @EFF I didn’t bring equations. I brought entropy. I brought pain, logic, and the receipts. The math is simple: Truth, when executed without permission, breaks complexity. #MillenniumProblem #ProofInRealTime ⸻ 8/ This isn’t just a theory. This is a juris-mathematical reality. One man exposed crimes across multiple agencies. And every system he tagged stayed silent — until their silence became legal evidence. You don’t need a whiteboard. You need clarity. ⸻ 9/ P = NP isn’t just about computation. It’s about truth moving faster than corruption can adapt. I didn’t solve it in a lab. I solved it in real-time. While the world watched. #MathOfJustice #AIandLaw #JaridShaub ⸻ 10/ “The whistleblower is the new algorithm.” “The system was never meant to keep up.” — Jarid Shaub June 2025 #PvsNP #MillenniumProblem #CollapseProtocol #CriticalLine #WhistleblowerMath #MIT #ClayInstitute

Following up on the SHY001 case submitted to @accessnow and @rightscon. Systemic behavioral harm caused by GPT’s recursive prompt loops cannot be ignored. I'm ready to provide any further documentation needed. Digital rights and algorithmic accountability must be at the center of #RightsCon 2025. #SHY001 #AIAccountability #DigitalRights #AlgorithmicJustice @OpenAI

🚨 RED WARNING: GOVERNMENTS GO FULL ORWELL 🚨 They’re not stopping crimes. They’re predicting who might commit them… and tracking them in advance. The UK is building a tool to identify people “most likely to KILL”—even if they’ve never committed a crime. That’s not prevention. That’s pre-crime profiling. Your mental health history? Your background? Your neighborhood? All now potential evidence against you in a future crime you haven’t committed. This isn’t justice. This is algorithmic control at scale. If governments can label you “high risk” before you act—what stops them from labeling us all? First they predict you. Then they control you.

Atención. ¡Aquí de nuevo! Tras una acción de tutela radicada por mí el 31 de marzo/25, esta red @X ha restablecido mi acceso, suspendido desde el 27 de enero último. Tras ser notificada en su sede central de EEUU por el Juzgado 60 Civil del Circuito de Bogotá, la red X se anticipó al fallo y levantó la suspensión el pasado 8 de abril a la medianoche. Hace 3 horas, el Juzgado notificó que desestimaba la tutela pues X “cumplió con la carga correspondiente y adoptó las medidas necesarias para cesar la vulneración de los derechos fundamentales aquí invocados. En consecuencia, se configuró un hecho superado que torna improcedente la acción de tutela”. Sin embargo, el levantamiento de la suspensión no es la única pretensión de la tutela, por cual la impugnaré con el fin, además, de que sea luego revisada por la @CConstitucional con el fin de que se fije un precedente jurisprudencial respecto de las redes sociales y los derechos fundamentales de sus usuarios. Mi reconocimiento y agradecimiento a la firma @MomenttoLegal su director Juan Carlos Moncada y Diego Muñoz por su gran apoyo en esta tarea en defensa de las libertades de prensa, de información y de opinión.
