"Time and time again, we've seen police surveillance suffer from 'mission creep'—technology sold as a way to prevent heinous crimes ends up enforcing traffic violations, tracking protestors, and more."
"This week's issue covers reform NSA spying; a victory for internet access in the Supreme Court; and how license plate readers are normalizing mass surveillance."
"Prefer to listen in? EFFector is now available on all major podcast platforms. This time, we're chatting with EFF Privacy Litigation Director Adam Schwartz about some of the recent technologies we've seen suffer from 'mission creep.'"
Police surveillance technologies are frequently subject to 'mission creep', where tools intended for crime prevention are misused for monitoring traffic violations and protests. The EFFector newsletter addresses this issue, highlighting the ongoing struggle for privacy and free speech. Recent topics include reforms to NSA spying, a Supreme Court victory for internet access, and the normalization of mass surveillance through license plate readers. The newsletter also offers a podcast featuring discussions on these technologies and their implications for civil liberties.
