The “experimentation” of Algorithmic Video-Surveillance (AVS) within the framework set by the “Olympic Games” law passed last year by the French Parliament is not an experiment at all: it is nothing more than a hypocritical maneuver designed to legalize, through small steps, a police infrastructure already massively deployed in France. To counter this strategy, La Quadrature du Net is launching a campaign aimed at fueling popular opposition to AVS, a technology based on Artificial Intelligence that amounts to a constant, automated monitoring of public spaces and marks a historic turning point in state surveillance. A complaint has also been lodged with the French data protection authority, the CNIL, as a way of denouncing the hypocrisy of the AVS promoters and pointing out the negligence of the personal data protection authority.

La surveillance bâtit son empire

Les Jeux Olympiques vont nous laisser la surveillance de masse en héritage. En instrumentalisant cet évènement, le gouvernement a autorisé l’utilisation de la vidéosurveillance algorithmique (VSA) jusqu’en 2025 pour des situations qui dépassent largement le cadre cette compétition sportive. Ces logiciels, qui analysent les images de vidéosurveillance et envoient automatiquement des alertes à la police, sont déployés depuis des années en France en toute illégalité, sans que jamais les responsables n’aient été inquiétés. L’hypocrisie est donc totale. En légalisant quelques usages de VSA, l’État souhaite légitimer un état de fait et amorcer un projet de surveillance bien plus large de l’espace public.

You’re what the French call “les incompetant”

“les incompétents”, vous voulez dire?

you reply to wrong comment with a spelling mistake. Your comment about compétence was it’s demonstration :)

but, what do you mean? i’m curious. Who’s incompetent and why?

i thought the article was cleverly written

For international flights, US citizens can opt out but foreign nationals have to participate in face scanning, with some exceptions.

they’ve been around for some time now: https://www.reflectacles.com

Ghost uses a frame-applied material that reflects both infrared and visible light. In low light environments they will maintain your privacy on cameras using infrared for illumination and also block 3D infrared facial mapping during both day & night. The visible light reflection can make you anonymous in images/videos using a flash in low light.

like ladfrombrad wrote, the project “has been around for years”

and most importantly it’s free and open source

it’s listed on clamav “community projects” page: https://docs.clamav.net/manual/Installing/Community-projects.html

wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ClamWin_Free_Antivirus

their sourceforge: https://sourceforge.net/projects/clamwin/

just in airports or on every entry point?

what a nightmare 😮

yes, Pi

and then you can anonymously chat with yourself because no one else will bother installing that favorite app of yours!

I’ve been trying to get people off WhatsApp for who knows how many years now. With Signal, i have a chance of convincing people. When you start talking about matrix or session or SimpleX or ???, people stay on WhatsApp

ants! ants!

when i write “we”, i meant humanity

we still are not advanced enough, you see… you see all too well. Our common enemy is our stupid need to have enemies

apparently we’re not advanced enough to stop fantasizing about bashing enemies

then don’t go to those bookstores with cameras 🤦

not all bookstores have cameras

yes, it’s awkward for the “individual” who is longing for reliable expression

it also seems to be awkward for people who can’t figure out the changes in the language they think as their own. They are irritated by their “disfigured” reflection

it’s awkward for officials who need to make decisions (positive or negative) about the use of “inclusive” language

we give shape to languages and languages shape us

English could initially have neutral pronouns and people would be obliged to find other reasons to hate each other 🤷

that’s what i thought i meant but thanks for the lesson I’ve never needed

even your comment is, for me, coming from that ridiculous tension
