Big Tech. Small Data. Immoderate Injustice.
'Crime-predicting' police tech is the new line of offence from the coppers who brought you institutional racism.
Overpoliced communities can expect more of the same.

Ban ‘Crime Predicting’ Police Tech
The Lie AI and police tech don’t predict crime - they predict policing. These technologies are built on existing, flawed, police data.38 Degrees
'Crime-predicting' police tech is on the rise in the UK 📈
These tools use data of what the police have done before to decide who to target for surveillance.
It automates police racism and discrimination against already overpoliced communities.
Why it must be banned ⬇️

Why ‘Predictive’ Policing Must be Banned
The UK Government is trying to use algorithms to predict which people are most likely to become killers using sensetive personal data of hundreds of thousands of people.Open Rights Group

Charles Kennedy was a Liberal, so his politics differed from mine. Yet I always found him a likeable figure, and he rightly warned his party against going into coalition with the Conservatives, advice which his slick successor Nick Clegg unwisely did not heed.
As a consequence of the Clegg led Liberal support for the Conservatives, Cameron and Osborne were able to push through the austerity measures which have done so much lasting damage to the UK.
In addition, the Conservatives outfoxed their partners on the key issue of electoral reform, so the Liberals effectively got nothing in return for their support of Cameron.
In Kennedy's final election campaign, the SNP distributed this particularly nasty leaflet mocking his alcoholism.

Which rights in the ECHR do you, personally, no longer wish to be protected by?

Petition: Allow transgender people to self-identify their legal gender.
We believe the government should change legislation to make it easier for trans people of all ages to change their legal gender without an official diagnosis of gender dysphoria.Petitions - UK Government and Parliament
For any transphobic pieces of shit who might be listening ... this was on BBC2 FORTY FIVE YEARS AGO.

The UK's murder prediction AI will create a dangerous, criminalising loop.
This tech repackages flawed police data as neutral. Then replicates itself.
The existing over-policing of racialised, low income and migrant communities will be hardwired into police operations.

There is now the opportunity for some public scrutiny of the UK government’s decisions to attack technologies that keep us safe online.
We must stand against the attack on encryption.

Keep our Apple data encrypted
It is reported that the Home Office has ordered Apple to build a backdoor into its encrypted services so that they can get hold of content that any Apple user has upload to the cloud. Encryption keeps our private information safe and secure.38 Degrees
Earlier this year, the UK government ordered Apple to grant it access to encrypted data stored by Apple users worldwide in its cloud service.
The secret order was made under the Investigatory Powers Act and the government has tried to keep the public in the dark ever since. Even when Apple appealed the order.
Now there will be some level of transparency with today's decision.

BREAKING: The UK government's attempt to hold the Apple encryption case entirely in secret has been REJECTED.
ORG, Big Brother Watch and Index on Censorship made a submission to the court arguing for open justice.
In a win for privacy rights, the court agrees.
It said it didn't accept “that the revelation of the bare details of the case would be damaging to the public interest or prejudicial to national security”.
