"The AI tool uses massive amounts of data and can identify what ‘every person in the West Bank is doing’"
"The development of the system was accelerated after the start of Israel’s genocidal war against Gaza"

Palestinians are guinea pigs, we know that. People who don't care about Palestinians should worry about their government purchasing this tool from Israel and using it on them. Which is happening already.

One more reason why we should fight Israel's genocidal and apartheid regime...because they use Palestine as an experimental ground for what will be or is already being used by our governments: surveillance, police state, authoritarianism, minorities repression, targeting journalism and freedom of speech.
Also a lesson on recent history that we can all relate to.
Really good and only 14 min of your time.

It doesn't come as a surprise, but it still sad and mad that this is the new norm i todays tech.

Screw them! Really

The #ministryOfLove always will be the ministry of love. In any system and in any country.

And yes, they already broke the phones, have their #backdoor's and mainly rely on #metaData so they most likely are actually only promoting the services they "officially" are attacking.

In pother words, the real question is, what tech aren't they (and you) mentioning or talking about?
