May 10, 2026 Adam Mahoney and Madeline Thigpen, Portside. Educate! Atlanta, Black Community, Cop City, Mass Surveillance, Militarization

When he drives through his neighborhood now, Brian Page passes rows of police cars and AI‑powered cameras that track nearly every movement. For most of his life, Page, who goes by “Scapegoat Jones,” felt safest in the community that Atlanta officials have since flooded with officers and surveillance technology in the name of “public safety.” He bought a house six minutes from the one he grew up in in DeKalb County, is raising his daughter in the same majority‑Black neighborhood, and cherished the forest trail where his family used to jog and ride bikes.

May 1, 2026 Maurizio Guerrero, Scheer Post. Educate! Department of Homeland Security, Immigrant Rights, Mass Surveillance, Privacy

Despite serious concerns raised by dozens of federal legislators about the potential misuse of location technologies to violate rights, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has awarded a new contract to Penlink PLX, a surveillance system that intercepts, aggregates, and analyzes live communications from phone calls, texts, and internet activity. The platform enables DHS to track people’s movements in real time. The $2.9 million no-bid contract, reported for the first time by Prism, began April 1, with a potential award amount of $8.3 million.

February 25, 2026 News Desk, The Cradle. Educate! Artificial Intelligence (AI), Autonomous weapon systems, Mass Surveillance, Pentagon

The US Department of War has issued a deadline to AI company Anthropic to allow broader military use of its Claude models or face possible action under the Defense Production Act. The company could face losing its Pentagon contract, and has been threatened with a government blacklist, US media reports said. The Pentagon has a $200-million contract with Anthropic. The company has placed guardrails on the Claude AI, preventing its use for fully autonomous weaponry and mass domestic surveillance, triggering a standoff with US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth.

During an end-of-year investor call this February, Palantir co-founder and militant Zionist Alex Karp bragged that his company was making a financial killing by enabling mass murder. “Palantir is here to disrupt and make the institutions we partner with the very best in the world and, when it’s necessary, to scare enemies,” he stated, adding: “And on occasion, kill them.” On this front, Karp claimed Palantir was “crushing it,” and he professed to be “super-proud of the role we play, especially in places we can’t talk about.” Karp went on to predict social “disruption” ahead that would be “very good for Palantir.” “There’s a revolution.

The Leap Forward In Surveilling Americans

June 3, 2025 Consortium News. Educate! Mass Surveillance, NSA, Surveillance, Trump Administration

Collecting and connecting information on people enables an understanding of who a person is and in what activities they engage. Typically, such efforts have been focused on criminals and those persons seen as real or possible enemies of the government. Over recent years, however, we have seen the U.S. Government weaponize intelligence agencies to focus on American citizens for political reasons, as you are well aware from personal experience. Many such activities are unconstitutional and violations of other law. Congressional and judicial oversight has been ineffective. Indeed, no one in government has been prosecuted for engaging in the exploitation of information illegally collected on American citizens. No one.

Surveillance, Cybersecurity, And Financial Tech For Mutual Aid

April 7, 2025 Shareable, Grassroots Economic Organizing. Organize! Israel, Mass Surveillance, Mutual Aid, Palestine, Repression, Surveillance

Long before October 7, 2023, Israel has weaponized surveillance and advanced targeting technology against Palestinians. This includes snuffing out dissent and preemptively arresting Palestinians before holding them for years without formal charges, access to legal representation, or sentencing. Similar technologies are now being used in the United States to criminalize dissent, target marginalized communities, and suppress mutual aid efforts. This brings us to the theme of this week’s episode. Today, we’re sharing excerpts from Shareable’s Mutual Aid 101 Learning Series‘ third session.

ICE Is Swiftly Expanding Its Sprawling Surveillance Apparatus

January 31, 2025 Maurizio Guerrero, Scheer Post. Educate! Big Tech, Donald Trump, ICE, Immigration, Mass Surveillance

The U.S. federal agency in charge of detaining and deporting immigrants is poised to expand to unprecedented levels the sprawling surveillance apparatus left by the Biden administration. Within days of President Donald Trump’s victory in November, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) posted several notices on the federal procurement website seeking contractors to provide technological tools to enlarge, transform, and modernize the agency’s capabilities to track, monitor, and surveil noncitizens.

Biden’s Legacy: Enhancing The ‘State Secrets Privilege’ To Protect The National Security State

December 8, 2024 Kevin Gosztola, The Dissenter. Educate! 9/11, Anti-Muslim, CIA, FBI, Guantanamo Bay, Joe Biden, Mass Surveillance

Abu Zubaydah, a high-profile detainee at Guantanamo Bay, was tortured by the CIA. He attempted to subpoena James Mitchell and Bruce Jessen, both architects of the agency’s torture program who interrogated him at a black site in Poland. However, the CIA invoked the “state secrets privilege” to block Zubaydah from seeking testimony that could be used in a Polish criminal investigation. The case involving the state secrets privilege was eventually heard by the United States Supreme Court, and the court not only ruled in favor of the CIA but also expanded the privilege.

Predictive Policing And The Paris 2024 Olympic Games

July 26, 2024 Yegor Halva, Unicorn Riot. Educate! France, Mass Surveillance, Olympics, Police

As Paris prepares to host the 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games from July 26 to August 11, 2024, the French government is implementing unprecedented surveillance measures to ensure safety. However, these measures have sparked fierce debate over the potential erosion of civil liberties, with opposition groups claiming that these systems automate social injustice. Sporting mega-events, including the Olympic Games, have long been testing grounds for new surveillance technologies. Their exceptional size and security demands constitute an emergency situation which is used as a pretext to justify the accelerated implementation of extraordinary regulations and policies that temporarily suspend law, along with the adoption of legislation that would be otherwise very hard to pass during “normal” periods.

Biden Terrifyingly Grows Ranks Of Government Spies

April 23, 2024 Kevin Gosztola, The Dissenter. Educate! Government Spying, Joe Biden, Mass Surveillance, Patriot Act, Surveillance

On April 20, Edward Snowden declared, “America lost something important today, and hardly anyone heard. The headlines of state-aligned media screech and crow about the nefarious designs of your fellow citizens and the necessity of foreign wars without end, but find few words for a crime against the Constitution.” The NSA whistleblower was referring to the United States Senate reauthorizing and expanding surveillance under Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. President Joe Biden circulated a memo that cast the Fourth Amendment right to privacy as a "threat to national security."

The White House Is Wrong: Section 702 Needs Drastic Change

April 9, 2024 Brendan Gilligan and Matthew Guariglia, Electronic Frontier Foundation. Educate! Congress, Mass Surveillance, NSA, Privacy, SAFE Act, White House

With Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act set to expire later this month, the White House recently released a memo objecting to the SAFE Act—legislation introduced by Senators Dick Durbin and Mike Lee that would reauthorize Section 702 with some reforms. The White House is wrong. SAFE is a bipartisan bill that may be our most realistic chance of reforming a dangerous NSA mass surveillance program that even the federal government’s privacy watchdog and the White House itself have acknowledged needs reform.

How San Diego Built A Surveillance Apparatus

October 11, 2023 Jesse Marx, In These Times. Resist! California, Mass Surveillance, Police, San Diego, Surveillance, Sustainability

San Diego. California - It sounded smart on paper. In 2016, the San Diego City Council created a new infrastructure project related to its environmental initiatives: Thousands of streetlights would be retrofitted with energy-efficient LEDs. Plus, remote-controlled sensors would produce publicly accessible data on weather, traffic and parking. Considering the energy savings, the $30 million partnership with General Electric would pay for itself. Win-win. But today, the project is an example of how not to create “smart” city utilities. Those sensors included integrated cameras, and no councilmember formally opposed the potential surveillance issues. Most San Diego residents only learned they were filmed indiscriminately thanks to media reports — in 2019.

The TSA Has Assaulted Us For 20 Years With Nothing To Show For It

November 12, 2022 Lee Camp, Mintpress News. Resistance Report Airports, FBI, Mass Surveillance, TSA

In the U.S. where we are fighting invasions of privacy and the destruction of our First Amendment rights in about 900 different ways every day, most of us have stopped talking about how insane and offensive airport security still is. To begin with, allow me to disabuse you of the notion that airport security stops terror attacks. As Darryl Campbell reports in The Verge, “the reality is that TSA has played next to no role in the biggest counterterrorism stories of the past two decades. According to the think tank RAND, intelligence and security services manage to foil nearly two-thirds of terrorist plots in the planning stages.” Of course, U.S. law enforcement also helps create almost all of the “terror attacks” they thwart.
