Your Landlord Might Be Using Facial Recognition to Spy On You

Courts are handing over sensitive federal data, housing authorities are deploying broadband surveillance, and tech companies across the board are pushing facial recognition with no oversight. Amidst of all this, S.T.O.P.—the Surveillance Technology Oversight Project—is fighting back. The organization has released A People’s Handbook of Surveillance to equip the public with information about rampant “smart city” surveillance. They've been calling out facial recognition tech being enacted in public housing. They're pursuing a federal civil rights lawsuit against the NYPD for civil liberties violations and more. Albert Fox Cahn is the founder of S.T.O.P. and an icon in the fight against surveillance capitalism. He's joining me today to talk about what's going on right now in America, all the sneaky new ways corporations and the government are trying to surveil us, and how we can build people-first tech that challenges power.
