A reminder that surveillance is often weaponized against D.C. residents. Are these cameras used for actual protection and safety, or just monitoring fare evasion?

EPIC's @SaraRGeoghegan in @TeenVogue: “We should be focused on education, not #surveillance. Students should not have to trade over-broad data collection in order to receive or earn an education.” #privacy teenvogue.com/story/remote-p…

Direct consumer losses from these illegal calls have ballooned to over $40 billion, said @cfrascl @EPICprivacy. And telephone providers make money from these scam calls every time these fraudsters reach subscribers’ phones. 3/3 #EndRobocalls nclc.org/media-center/f…

“ADPPA is basically much clearer on the obligations of companies to limit the extent of their processing, the collection … and transfer of data to a specific list of permissible purposes,” EPIC's @AlanInDC said. washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/…

“Even when these providers are told—sometimes repeatedly—that they are transmitting fraudulent calls, they keep doing it, because they are making money from these calls,” said @margot_saunders. Even when they are caught, fines are rarely collected. 2/5 bit.ly/Rpt-ScamRoboca…

If these crimes were occurring in the physical world, law enforcement would not hesitate to arrest the thieves and the providers enabling them. The @FCC should provide the same level of protection to American telephone subscribers. 5/5 #EndRobocalls bit.ly/Rpt-ScamRoboca…

My advocacy is to keep algorithms out of crisis conversations.Two main reasons: 1) Lack of consent. 2) Allure of the data. As Bob Filbin (co-founder & former Chief Data Scientist for Crisis Text Line) said in his 2015 article, the data is "juicy". Data predators are on the prowl.

I look forward to hear what steps CTL will take to right this wrong. Their service is critical for people seeking help, and I hope they can do right by the individuals who have trusted and relied on them in vulnerable moments. Full post here: epic.org/epics-response…
