We’ve got a lot of work to do. Join us in the fight to ban government use of face recognition. — PolitiTweet.org

EFF @EFF

@CodedBias Starting the conversation with harms of law enforcement engagement that they are commonly all too aware of, and expanding into the way police use of FR will exacerbate those issues, is often an effective way to begin the conversation. — PolitiTweet.org

EFF @EFF

@CodedBias QTPOC people in the US live at the intersection of two harms presented from law enforcement use of FR. Not only is the technology less capable of identifying them accurately, but they are also over represented in the databases that compose FR's perpetual lineup. — PolitiTweet.org

EFF @EFF

@CodedBias There is no universal solution to digital security or privacy. Each of us must assess our unique assets, and adversaries. EFF’s Surveillance Self Defense guide is a good place to start building the knowledge that can help you do that. https://t.co/77mCeFAfr7 — PolitiTweet.org

EFF @EFF

@CodedBias If your community has not already banned government use of face recognition technology, find a group in your area that is working to do just that. If there is an Electronic Frontier Alliance group in your area that’s a great place to start. https://t.co/acxJYkQXhA — PolitiTweet.org

EFF @EFF

@CodedBias I’m hopeful that lawmakers have learned from the mistakes of the past, but I’m also clear-eyed. Since the election, we have been working to make sure the new administration knows what steps it must take to advance public safety and digital rights. https://t.co/1dblR8aGlU — PolitiTweet.org

EFF @EFF

@CodedBias I wish I could say we’re going to get tired of winning, but the truth is neither party has a stunning track record when it comes to government surveillance. We’ve won many policy battles, and had to keep fighting other important fights regardless of which party was in power. — PolitiTweet.org

EFF @EFF

@CodedBias Like many activists, well before I joined EFF I depended on the Surveillance Self Defense guide for instruction on how I could be a responsible steward of others' trust, while still being able to do the critical work of speaking truth to power. https://t.co/J3eV53I89f — PolitiTweet.org

@CodedBias The devices that we carry with us can be great tools for amplifying voices, but they also hold a wealth of information about where, when, and with whom we communicate. Privacy really is a team sport. — PolitiTweet.org

EFF @EFF

@CodedBias Beyond the disparate harms of engagement with the criminal system, surveillance chills our freedom to explore new ideas publicly or engage in protest that may be unpopular to those in power—be they police, landlords or employers. https://t.co/gn0uCxjdio — PolitiTweet.org

EFF’s @NaSh12 on “the way forward” when it comes to face recognition: — PolitiTweet.org

EFF @EFF

@CodedBias @jovialjoy Laws like IL's Biometric Information Privacy Act, and the proposed National Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA) protect residents from having their biometric data collected or used without their prior informed consent for a specific use and time. https://t.co/6JIkoUzjoS — PolitiTweet.org

EFF @EFF

@CodedBias @jovialjoy When it comes to private use of the technology, no one should have to worry that their biometric information is being collected without their knowledge or consent. — PolitiTweet.org

EFF @EFF

@CodedBias @jovialjoy There is no conceivable regulation for government use of face recognition technology that will effectively mitigate the risk to human rights, fundamental freedoms, and public safety. Government use of the technology must be banned. — PolitiTweet.org

EFF @EFF

@CodedBias In addition to our advocacy to protect communities from bad COVID-19 inspired policy, shortly after last year’s shelter-in-place orders went into place we published a guide to help folks access information they would need to advocate for their communities. https://t.co/icB0fm8GEi — PolitiTweet.org

EFF @EFF

@CodedBias Unfortunately, many of the proposed solutions are not only inappropriate, but they’re also ineffective for their stated purpose. https://t.co/dhBpPoHPi8 — PolitiTweet.org

EFF @EFF

@CodedBias Ankle monitors to enforce quarantines, university app-mandates to track student's movements, and law enforcement access to sensitive health information are just some of the bad ideas that have been touted as solutions to the COVID-19 crisis. https://t.co/EaEdPP9FMk — PolitiTweet.org

EFF @EFF

We’re answering your questions about algorithmic bias and facial recognition, along with the team from the #CodedBias documentary. Have questions? Drop them into the chat @codedbias! — PolitiTweet.org

EFF @EFF

@CodedBias @shalinikantayya @rajiinio @techreview In less than two dozen words @rajiinio nails it. The problems have been ignored by those in power because the harms have disproportionately fallen on the least empowered. AI is only as good as the data it’s trained with, and that data is a subjective interpretation of reality. — PolitiTweet.org

EFF @EFF

@CodedBias @shalinikantayya .@rajiinio recently published a piece for @techreview in which she notes: "The machine-learning community continues to accept a certain level of dysfunction as long as only certain groups are affected.” https://t.co/6Ii4JVUEcL — PolitiTweet.org

EFF’s @NaSh12 on why the fight to protect people from dangerous face recognition technology is so important: — PolitiTweet.org

EFF @EFF

@CodedBias We often say that EFF's aim is to assure the "user" benefits from technology. When it comes to surveillance and algorithmic bias, we have to broaden our scope beyond the "users," to include the individuals and communities the technology is being used on—or against. — PolitiTweet.org

EFF @EFF

@CodedBias The film raises questions that are too often overlooked in developing and implementing new technology. We need to ask, not just can we do it but should we do it, not just what the costs are financially but what the broader costs might be to those who are impacted. — PolitiTweet.org

EFF @EFF

Starting now! Join us for a Twitter conversation on defending data rights and algorithmic bias, with EFF’s Nathan "nash" Sheard (@NaSh12) and the team behind the @codedbias documentary. Follow @codedbias and ask questions with the #CodedBias tag! — PolitiTweet.org

EFF @EFF

@CodedBias Our About Face campaign launched in 2019 to help communities build on the bans we and our allies successfully facilitated in San Francisco, CA; Somerville, MA; and Oakland, CA. However, some of my colleagues have been fighting FR for close to two decades. https://t.co/Fi0f4ATTrt — PolitiTweet.org

EFF @EFF

@CodedBias Even if the alarmingly disparate efficacy could be rectified, government use would still threaten privacy and chill essential freedoms. We can leave other forms of personally identifiable information behind, or replace them if needed. Replacing your face is no easy feat. — PolitiTweet.org
