A factor the author unfortunately forgets though naming the panopticon, that is key in Foucault’s analysis of Bentham’s panopticon and in its practice, is not the surveillance for (re)action, but the disciplining effect of the permanent threat of surveillance - panoptic anxiety. #ring #usa
“No matter how Ring and other surveillance tech companies may downplay it, there’s no world in which finding lost dogs is the final end-use for this technology.”
Opinion | Ring is using lost dogs to make the surveillance state adorable
The same technology the Amazon-owned company uses to find lost dogs could easily be turned against their owners.

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

The Super Bowl halftime show featured a little boy & social media users speculated that the child was 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos. But it wasn't. Liam is in hiding w/his family. "He’s not the same boy. He can’t sleep well at night. He wakes up three or four times a night screaming, ‘Daddy, Daddy.’”

What does it mean to be hot for revolution—to feel a desire to transform the world in your belly and your bones?
Here's my latest, on how erotic desire feeds political agency. I draw on AIDS activism, disability justice & other movements against sexual oppression.

Die Überraschung über das Ausmaß des Missbrauchs hält sich vor allem bei den Frauen in meinem Umfeld arg in Grenzen. Vielleicht, weil wir alle mal junge Mädchen waren, und uns genau daran erinnern, wie einige erwachsene Männer sich damals uns gegenüber benahmen.

Reminder that "jaywalking" was literally made up by american car manufacturers to shift the blame for accidents from drivers to pedestrians. "Jay" was a slang term meaning "idiot" or "rube".
“Jaywalking is permitted in London. In 1966, the police tried to crack down on it, but gave up after three months.”
People walk and cycle on roads by right, people drive under licence.
Jaywalking is not a thing in English law and Waymo must not change that.

Data protection, as a concept, grew out of post-war legal scholarship in Germany which reflected on the use of data about people by the Nazi Govt, and formulated a set of limits on data use which recognised that to collect and use data about people was to impact the people’s lives.
If anyone doubts how prescient and important the German Constitutional Court‘s 1983 decision on self-determination regarding information was - the US offers a powerful example of how things can go wrong
A manual for ICE's immigrant-targeting computer system, Palantir ELITE, was leaked today.
Let's look at it, then step back to evaluate how far we've come along a dangerous road and where that road might take us. 🧵
