Ted #Cruz, garante trumpiano delle lobby della sorveglianza, blocca il disegno di legge che estenderebbe la tutela della #privacy a tutti gli americani

Se fosse stato approvato, il DdL di #Wyden avrebbe adottato le disposizioni bipartisan per proteggere funzionari governativi, legislatori e famiglie dalla vendita o dallo scambio delle loro informazioni personali dai databroker, estendendole a tutti gli americani e a tutte le persone residenti negli USA

"How to Pump the Brakes on Your Police Department’s Use of Flock’s Mass Surveillance License Plate Readers"

"Unlike a targeted ALPR camera system that is designed to take pictures of license plates, check the plates against local hot lists, and then flush the data if there’s no hit, Flock is building a giant camera network that records people’s comings and goings across the nation, and then makes that data available for search by any of its law enforcement customers. Such a system provides even small-town sheriffs access to a sweeping and powerful mass-surveillance tool, and allows big actors like federal agencies and large urban police departments to access the comings and goings of vehicles in even the smallest of towns. And every new customer that buys and installs the company’s cameras extends Flock’s network, contributing to the creation of a centralized mass surveillance system of Orwellian scope. Motorola Solutions, a competitor to #Flock, is pursuing a similar business model."
