"With the ongoing expansion of GPS tagging under the UK Home Office’s electronic monitoring programme, the Home Office has increasingly deployed non-fitted devices (NFDs) that track a person’s GPS location and request frequent biometric verification in the form of fingerprint scans.

The NFDs deployed by the UK Home Office are small handheld devices with a fingerprint scanner that record a person’s location 24/7 (referred to as their trail data). Most recently, migrants are being provided with Android mobile phones equipped with a fingerprint scanner at the back, which are also equipped with 24/7 GPS tracking technology. The devices alert the person at random intervals throughout the day requesting their fingerprint scan, which it then compares against a representation of the biometric information stored on the device. This is in order to verify that the person has the device with them at all times for the purposes of tracking.

Previous research PI did in relation to the NFDs determined that these alerts are sent to the wearer up to 5 times per day. Although as set out below, there are reports that individuals are in fact being sent many more alerts than this in a given day. Those subjected to these devices have cited detrimental impacts to their daily life and mental and physical wellbeing, due to the pervasive and erratic nature of these devices."

"The rapid expansion of educational technologies (EdTech) has introduced serious concerns about human rights protection in educational spaces. This briefing explores the impact of facial recognition technology (FRT) and heightened surveillance in these settings, highlighting many complex and multifaceted issues that demand careful consideration from a human rights perspective.

From the erosion of privacy and the securitisation of educational spaces - that undermines the learning and growth processes - to the perpetuation of bias and discrimination, and the lack of data protection safeguards, not to mention the role of private interests, this briefing explains why we believe that iIt is crucial to ban FRT in educational spaces and stop its use now.

At the end of the briefing, we share a roadmap of key issues that it is necessary to consider for anyone thinking of introducing FRT in educational spaces to help analyse its impact on human rights."

Guerre de Palestine
🔸 La Cour pénale internationale délivre un mandat d’arrêt contre le Premier ministre israélien
▶️ "Les mandats marquent une première historique, faisant de Netanyahu le premier dirigeant israélien convoqué par un tribunal international pour des actions présumées contre les Palestiniens dans le conflit de 76 ans."

The #ICC’s decision to issue arrest warrants against #Netanyahu and Gallant may not affect the US directly (they are not signatories to the Rome statute), but it will certainly put pressure on Europe and countries like #Germany and the #UK who at best have shown great duplicity if not complicity with #Israel’s genocidal actions in #Gaza. Can’t wait to see what contortions an ex #humanrights lawyer like #keirstarmer will get into. https://www.aa.com.tr/en/europe/british-mps-urge-government-to-endorse-icc-arrest-warrant-for-netanyahu-gallant/3400269

Leaks expose secret British military cell plotting to ‘keep Ukraine fighting’


Leaked files show top UK military figures conspired to carry out the Kerch bridge bombing, covertly train “Gladio”-style stay-behind forces in Ukraine, and groom the British public for a drop in living standards caused by the proxy war against Russia.

Emails and internal documents reviewed by The Grayzone reveal details of a cabal of British military and intelligence veterans which plotted to escalate and prolong the Ukraine proxy war “at all costs.” Convened under the direction of the British Ministry of Defense in the immediate aftermath of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, the cell referred to itself as Project Alchemy. As British leadership sabotaged peace talks between Kiev and Moscow, the cell put forward an array of plans “to keep Ukraine fighting” by imposing “strategic dilemmas, costs and frictions upon Russia.”
...
Some of Project Alchemy’s most extreme recommendations have already been implemented, often with calamitous results. These include the cell’s proposal to strike Crimea’s Kerch Bridge, which prompted a Russian escalation that saw punishing attacks on Ukraine’s electricity infrastructure. Alchemy also envisioned the construction of a secret, Gladio-style army of Ukrainian partisan fighters to carry out assassination, sabotage, and terror missions behind enemy lines.

Musk won’t answer this questioning in HoC. And appointing Mandelson as US Ambassador is possibly one of the most stupid decisions this Labour government could make. It’s clear, even from Mandelson comment in this article, he will not work in the best interests of the UK; rather in the best interests of himself, Euan Blairs AI business and Trump. #Labour #Musk #USA #UK https://www.theguardian.com/media/2024/nov/20/mps-summon-elon-musk-x-role-uk-summer-riots

"The UK is "veering dangerously close to becoming a police state" because of facial scanners being used in high streets, MPs have heard.

Calls have been mounted for live facial recognition technology to be halted amid questions over accuracy and privacy. The software - currently being deployed in London, South Wales and Essex - allows officers to scan the faces of passers-by and check them against watchlists.

Several MPs raised concerns about software misidentifying innocent members of the public - particularly Black, Asian and minority ethnic groups. Labour MP Bell Ribeiro-Addy said: "We're veering dangerously close to becoming a police state with levels of surveillance that would only be deemed acceptable in the most autheritarian police states. It's not a matter of 'those with nothing to hide have nothing to fear', it's a matter of our basic privacy."

She pointed to research by campaign group Big Brother Watch which found 89% of facial recognition alerts to date wrongly identified members. Tory Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp said current software is far more accurate."
