La Russia usa il riconoscimento facciale per dare la caccia agli evasori alla leva

Moscow authorities are using the city’s video surveillance system with facial recognition technology to track down and detain draftees seeking to evade mobilization for Russia’s war on Ukraine.

BBC Russian and some Telegram channels reported that at least seven men have been detained over the past month by law enforcement officers after the city’s facial recognition system flagged them to the police as “draft dodgers.” Following their detention, the men were brought to a police station and then a military enlistment office. While some were released as they were not eligible for the draft, at least two were told to go to the front line.

Russian law does not meaningfully restrict the use of facial recognition technology, so there’s little to prevent misuse and few, if any, protections for those under surveillance.

Il ministero della migrazione greco ha annunciato che utilizzerà droni finanziati dall’UE con “Intelligenza artificiale” per rintracciare le persone che cercano rifugio al confine. Le promesse che miglioreranno anche le operazioni di ricerca e salvataggio suonano vane.

All’apertura della Fiera internazionale di Salonicco lo scorso settembre, il ministro greco per l’immigrazione Notis Mitarakis – altrimenti noto per aver liquidato le prove in corso dei brutali e illegali respingimenti dei richiedenti asilo da parte delle guardie di frontiera greche come “notizie false” – ha fatto notizia a livello nazionale quando ha presentato la sua Ultimo progetto del ministero: 3,7 milioni di euro di finanziamento per droni con “algoritmi innovativi” in grado di “identificare automaticamente obiettivi di interesse definiti” al confine greco.

The Taliban reportedly have control of US biometric devices – a lesson in life-and-death consequences of data privacy

In the wake of the Taliban’s takeover of Kabul and the ouster of the Afghan national government, alarming reports indicate that the insurgents could potentially access biometric data collected by the U.S. to track Afghans, including people who worked for U.S. and coalition forces.

Afghans who once supported the U.S. have been attempting to hide or destroy physical and digital evidence of their identities. Many Afghans fear that the identity documents and databases storing personally identifiable data could be transformed into death warrants in the hands of the Taliban.

This potential data breach underscores that data protection in zones of conflict, especially biometric data and databases that connect online activity to physical locations, can be a matter of life and death. My research and the work of journalists and privacy advocates who study biometric cybersurveillance anticipated these data privacy and security risks.
