The National Week of Action Against Automated License Plate Readers is an opportunity for all of us who oppose surveillance to stand up together and say no! DeFlock has received an overwhelming response to the call for a Week of Action as thousands of people, from coast to coast and across the political spectrum, have already registered. During the Week of Action, which is from August 16-22, thousands of people in cities across the country will participate in a variety of public meetings, townhalls, and other events intended to raise awareness about the use of ALPRs in their communities, the harms of these cameras, and how we can work together to end their use.

The Fight Against Surveillance Cameras Is A Struggle For Democracy

July 15, 2026 Ed Vogel, Truthout. Resist! Artificial Intelligence (AI), Democracy, Flock Cameras, Surveillance

When residents of Madison County, North Carolina, sought to speak about the county’s AI surveillance cameras at a recent Madison County Commissioners meeting, commissioner Michael Garrison’s response was simple: “You will not speak on Flock tonight.” A clip capturing Garrison’s move to prevent public comment soon went viral, resonating with others waging similar battles in their communities. This sort of democratic abuse is not unusual when it comes to the fight against Flock Safety, automated license plate readers more broadly, and other forms of surveillance.

AI Is Turbocharging Bosses’ Efforts To Spy On Their Workers

In March, The Lever reported that the U.S. Department of Agriculture had hired the infamous software company Palantir to implement its controversial return-to-office directive, warning that the contract could bring surveillance technology — commonly referred to as “Bossware” — to the federal workforce. Days later, those suspicions were confirmed. A published disclosure reveals that the company will “design, configure, deploy, and manage a secure, user-friendly tool to track USDA employees’ return to the office.” “AI has supercharged surveillance,” Jay Stanley, senior policy analyst with the ACLU Speech, Privacy, and Technology Project, told Truthout.

The Elite ‘OK’ To Police Our Every Thought And Move

July 9, 2026 Adam Johnson and Steven Thrasher, In These Times. Educate! Book Reviews, ICE, Liberalism, State Repression, Surveillance

Over the last year and a half, the United States under Donald Trump has seen a deluge of brutal, targeted repression. The administration now has a long record of using Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to abduct and deport those fighting oppression, from union organizers in Washington to pro-Palestinian activists in New York. And yet, as the authors of two recently released books discussed in a panel at Pilsen Community Books in Chicago, much of the groundwork for this reign of terror was laid by liberal institutions, from universities to major media outlets, during Joe Biden’s tenure.

Spain's government launched a blacklist of CIA-backed Palantir Technologies from public and private state-controlled entities, Spanish media reported on 1 July. The Spanish Prime Minister's Office issued directives to companies under the State Society of Industrial Participations (SEPI) to cease future contracting due to security concerns and worries regarding the vulnerability of sensitive state data. The ban targets organizations handling high-level communications and military intelligence, including Indra, Telefonica, and the shipbuilder Navantia.

Soft Digital Repression: Challenges And Strategies For Resistance

During the recent assault on Gaza, thousands of activists witnessed their posts deleted or their accounts restricted simply for documenting Israeli occupation crimes or expressing solidarity with the Palestinian people. This is far from an isolated phenomenon. In India, the government issued emergency orders to block dozens of accounts during the farmers’ protests, while human rights organizations documented the suspension of accounts belonging to large numbers of journalists and activists merely for criticizing government policies.

Israel Is Spying On Millions Of Christian Americans In Their Churches

June 19, 2026 Alan MacLeod, Mintpress News. Educate! Christian Churches, Israel, Propaganda, Surveillance, Zionism

If you are a Christian living in the Western United States, you have almost certainly been targeted with pro-Israel, anti-Palestine propaganda, paid for directly by the government of Benjamin Netanyahu. Your searches, location, and internet activity is being monitored by Israel, and your algorithms and search results across multiple platforms are being manipulated by Israeli government in what its American partner calls the “largest geofencing and targeted Christian digital campaign ever.” Amid a massive drop in support from the Christian community, Israel is spending millions of dollars to target individuals entering churches or Christian colleges with ads, and paying pastors across the country to promote propaganda and false “anti-Palestinian” narratives every Sunday, documents filed with the United States’ Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) show.

Facial Recognition Data Is A Key To Your Identity

April 29, 2026 Jonathan S. Weissman, Scheer Post. Educate! Cyber Security, Facial Recognition, Identity theft, Privacy, Surveillance

A woman strolls into a grocery store, thinking about grabbing some apples. Before she even reaches the produce aisle, a security camera has scanned her face. Whether the system is checking for shoplifters or simply logging her arrival, her face has joined a digital ledger, a trace she can’t easily erase. Retailers, banks, airports, stadiums and office buildings are doing the same. But what if the woman’s facial information is stolen or misused? If a cybercriminal steals her password, she can change it. If they acquire her credit card number, she can cancel the card. But she can’t reset or revoke the appearance of her cheekbones.

Fifteen protesters participating in a special Passover seder condemning ICE operations were cuffed in Manhattan on Monday night after the participants occupied the lobby of Palantir’s headquarters and refused to leave. The hours-long event began earlier in the day, around 5 p.m. on April 6, at Union Square for the sixth night of Passover and was held by Jews for Racial & Economic Justice for a “Seder in the Streets.” Attended by Mayor Zohran Mamdani and a host of other elected officials, protesters looked to condemn President Trump’s ongoing immigration crackdown.

The Social Dynamics Of Online Collaboration

Understanding how online communities function is a particularly vexing challenge. For example, is a wiki best understood as a volunteer club and nonprofit organization? Or does it more closely resemble a business that organizes the wisdom of crowd -- or tames the unruliness of a mob? It becomes even more complicated when you consider that wikis have porous boundaries, enabling people to become either formal members or casual lurkers. People trying to grasp how collaborative spaces work often turn to the literature of the commons. It has a lot to say about the dynamics of collective action and sharing wealth, after all.

IDF Threatens ‘Elimination’ For Russian Leaders Who ‘Wish Israel Ill’

Israeli military spokeswoman Anna Ukolova has drawn outrage in Moscow after threatening that Russian authorities who “wish Israel ill” could be subject to “elimination,” while suggesting Israel could hack into Russian closed-circuit television cameras to identify and track targets. Asked by a journalist with Russian radio broadcaster RBC whether Israel had access to Russian traffic cameras, Ukolova declined to answer directly but warned that “Khamenei’s elimination shows our capabilities are serious” and that “no one who wishes us harm will be left aside.”

Amid Community Pressure, City Halts Plate Reader Camera Contract

March 9, 2026 Michael Powers, People's World. Resist! Community Defense, Flock, Iowa, Surveillance

Coralville, Iowa—Following a meeting on February 24, the Coralville City Council voted 3-1 to cancel its $36,000 contract with Flock Safety and remove the city’s automated license plate reader cameras (ALPRs). The decision follows months of community pressure and a recent legal threat from the Iowa Attorney General’s office regarding the city’s restrictions on the cameras for immigration enforcement. The controversy dates back nearly a year, when the $36,000 contract was first signed by the police chief without prior public discussion or a dedicated City Council vote.

How To Organize Safely In The Age Of Surveillance

Rarely in modern US history have so many Americans opposed the actions of the federal government with so little hope for a top-down political solution. That’s left millions of people seeking a bottom-up approach to resistance: grassroots organizing. Yet as Americans assemble their own movements to protect and support immigrants, push back against the Department of Homeland Security’s dangerous incursions into cities, and protest for civil rights and policy changes, they face a federal government that possesses vast surveillance powers and sweeping cooperation from the Silicon Valley companies that hold Americans’ data.

Ring, the doorbell and security systems company owned by Amazon, announced last week it was canceling its partnership with surveillance company Flock Security following immense backlash to a Super Bowl commercial touting its artificial intelligence (AI) technology. The integration with Flock was first announced in October. Ring released a statement on February 12 stating that the planned partnership with the company “would require significantly more time and resources than anticipated.” “We therefore made the joint decision to cancel the integration and continue with our current partners,” Ring added on its website.

Denver, CO – On January 31 over 100 protesters gathered at James Manley Park in Denver for a rally against the tech and AI surveillance company Palantir, which has been headquartered in the state since leaving their Silicon Valley location in 2020. This spring, the company plans to move from their downtown Denver office to the Cherry Creek Financial House just four miles away. Crowds began gathering at the park around 10 a.m., rallying with signs demanding “No AI for war crimes!” and “No AI for ICE!” Palantir has been involved closely in contracts and deals with both the Israeli Defense Force and ICE.
