Surveillance: The New Normal

Two circular photo-based mixed-media pieces, mounted on 6 inch diameter, 1 inch thick stained plywood. A combination of sensitized liquid emulsion, cyanotype, print toner and shellac. A loose commentary on surveillance and the legal system, these pieces can be mounted on the wall or viewed on a flat surface. #socialcommentaryart #survailance #collage #art #alternativeprocess #alternativeprocessphotography #mixedmedia #photographicarts #cyanotype #vandykebrownprint #liquidlight #altprocessphotography #artistsoninstagram #newenglandartist #americanartist #bostonartist (at Stephen Sheffield Photography & Fine Art) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cocapvmuaaf/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A bill to ban geofence and keyword search warrants in New York gains traction – TechCrunch

The bill would stop police from demanding users' location and search history from tech giants.

The bill, if passed, would be the first state law in the U.S. to end the use of geofence warrants and keyword search warrants, which rely on asking technology companies to turn over data about users who were near the scene of a crime or searched for particular keywords at a specific point in time.

For geofence warrants — also known as “reverse location” warrants — law enforcement asks a judge to order Google, which collects and stores billions of location data points from its users’ phones and apps, to turn over records on whose phones were in a certain geographical radius at the time of a crime to help identify possible suspects.

It’s a similar process for Google searches; law enforcement asks a judge for a warrant to demand that Google turns over who searched for certain keywords during a particular window of time.

The use of these warrants has been called “fishing expeditions” by internet rights groups like the Electronic Frontier Foundation, which recently lent its support to the New York bill, along with the ACLU. Critics say these kinds of warrants are unconstitutionally broad and invasive because they invariably collect data on nearby innocent people with no connection to the crime.

TechCrunch reported last year that Minneapolis police used a geofence warrant to identify protesters accused of sparking violence in the wake of the police killing of George Floyd in 2020. Similar encounters reported by NBC News and The Guardian revealed how entirely innocent people have been tacitly accused of criminality simply for being close to the scene of the crime.

Surveillance - Week Six Blog

Today my writing will be based around an article, “The Internet’s Original Sin”, and a video presentation, “The Internet With a Human Face”. Both links can be found at the end of this post.

After gaining knowledge from the two sources, about the amount of data that webpages are able to collect from an individual, makes me think about going on the internet much less.  One example to note is dealing with search engines such as Google.  When one searches on Google, Google is able to take that information from the search and generate an advertisement related to it. These advertisements become valuable and are worth the most money when they appear as someone is ready to make a purchase.

When an advertising company demonstrates that they are going to target people more that Facebook, will involve tracking users more closely. Companies will then begin to track what people do and search on their phone and track their physical location.  They will use this information to get the most suitable advertisement for the user in order to get them to make a purchase. Just the thought of this alone makes me think, “should I drop my smart phone and use a classic flip phone?” This will probably not happen for myself, but others may consider making the switch to a flip phone because it will carry much less personal data to be collected by hackers and the government.  Would you consider a flip phone after reading the article and watching the presentation?

Even is one were to change from a smart phone to a flip phone, are they still safe?  The answer is probably not.  According to Maciej Ceglowski’s presentation video, under the Bush administration phone networks allowed them to tap peoples’ phones.  There were only one phone company that would not allow the NSA to tap peoples’ phones.  All other companies allowed the NSA to tap lines under one condition, that they got immunity against lawsuits.

With all that information from both the article and video presentation, it really makes me more question how much authority the government has, and if they already have too much authority.  But what is more questioning is when the amount of surveillance was released, many internet users came to just accept it, as long as the costs remained free.
