ACLU Sues to End ICE’s Rigged Algorithm for Detaining Immigrants
▻https://theintercept.com/2020/03/02/ice-algorithm-bias-detention-aclu-lawsuit

In 2013, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement quietly began using a software tool to recommend whether people arrested over immigration violations should be let go after 48 hours or detained. The software’s algorithm supposedly pored over a variety of risk factors before outputting a decision. A new lawsuit, however, filed by the New York Civil Liberties Union and Bronx Defenders, alleges that the algorithm doesn’t really make a decision, at least not one that can result in a detainee (...)

Ring’s Neighborhood Watch Feature Is Bringing Out the Worst in Boston
▻https://www.bostonmagazine.com/news/2020/01/27/ring-cameras-neighbors-app

A home-security app promises to keep its users “safe and informed.” Instead, it’s turning us all into bad neighbors. On a Tuesday afternoon in December, a man dressed in a camo hoodie with a shopping bag at his side walked up a set of stairs, past a pole wrapped in Christmas ribbon, and onto a porch in East Somerville. At first glance, it was hard to tell whether he was friend or foe. The stranger didn’t stay long, and didn’t do much of anything, but the instant he walked up the stairs, (...)

We’re one step closer to the “genetic panopticon” that Antonin Scalia warned us about. What if the United States government took the DNA of vast numbers of Americans for use without their consent ? The Trump administration has just brought us one step closer to that dystopia.

Microsoft Slammed For Investment In Israeli Facial Recognition ‘Spying On Palestinians’
Thomas Brewster, Forbes, le 1er août 2019

It’s unclear whether investors were aware of AnyVision’s business in regions with tainted human rights records. The Israeli company is trying to grow its business in Hong Kong, where protesters this week used lasers in an attempt to stop facial recognition profiling them. In a job post for a sales position in Hong Kong, AnyVision discloses it has customers and partnerships not only in that country but also Macau, the so-called Las Vegas of Asia. In Russia, a country heavily criticized for its human rights record, the AnyVision’s tools are deployed at Moscow’s Domodedovo Airport, according to a post on the company’s website.

Shankar Narayan, the director of the Technology and Liberty Project at the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), told Forbes that he’d held meetings with Microsoft in Seattle last year in which the tech giant appeared receptive to ideas on holding back the spread of facial recognition. But the company has not followed through with any action, Narayan claimed.

Most of all, though, it’s done through analysis of facial expressions. A new study, however, strongly suggests that (...)
