Exploitative mass data collection and surveillance are at the core of the tech industry’s business. Companies are enabling police departments to use racist facial recognition and other discriminatory technologies, facilitating ICE human rights abuses and normalizing a profit model rooted in widespread surveillance — with a disproportionate impact on BIPOC communities, including immigrants. No Safety with Surveillance aims to raise awareness surrounding the issues caused by mass surveillance in the digital age.
Three key figures who work to stop the spread of surveillance capitalism also weigh in: Brandi Collins-Dexter, Senior Fellow, Color of Change; Alavaro Beoya, Founding Director of the Center on Privacy & Technology at Georgetown Law; and Mary Beth Gallagher, Executive Director of Investor Advocates for Social Justice. Through the lens of their research and experience, they discuss the widespread damage and their work to stop it.
No Safety with Surveillance hopes to encourage individuals and communities to stand up to this dangerous profit model.
