The Watchers and the Watched

Is the new surveillance state beginning to turn on its creators?

Last year, there was outrage in the Jewish community about a website, the Mapping Project, that sought to link Jewish agencies, synagogues, organizations, etc. by means of Google Maps. It was a one-stop go to website for tracking down Jews.

Using a series of dots and lines in different colors, it not only connects pro-Israel groups but other Jewish institutions, including a high school, a center for people with disabilities, student groups, synagogues, newspapers, Jewish-run charities, and even a center for Jewish arts. -- American Jewish Committee

Of course, the Pro-Palestinian site explained that they wanted to track those groups who supported Zionism.

Welcome to the Mapping Project. We are a multi-generational collective of activists and organizers… who wanted to develop a deeper understanding of local institutional support for the colonization of Palestine and harms that we see as linked, such as policing, US imperialism, and displacement/ethnic cleansing. -- The Mapping Project

It harkens back to World War II. With a few clicks of a mouse, one could track down potential targets. Naturally and understandably, Jews were upset and worried.

Ironically, however, Amnesty International -- far from unbiased -- has just released a documentary about the surveillance system that Israeli applies to the contested areas of Judea and Samaria (what the world calls the West Bank), particularly the city of Hebron.

Amnesty International calls this surveillance “Automated Apartheid,” and the spin they put on the system is one-sided.

New red light cameras have been developed which have AI and 4d cameras to peer into your vehicle. They will know how many people are in there, if you are seat belted and a pretty good guess at what contents are in the vehicle. It can see and process along six lanes of traffic.

Want to get a door cam but I want it to upload to the server of my choice not to some place I can not control.

Anyone have any recommendations?
