Comment The tools of the panopticon are inherently racist (Score 1) 162
And it's no surprise! because just like with Acusensus being used in Mississippi for automated traffic enforcement, or the surveillance dragnet that covered the entirety of Gaza (requiring people to install an IDF tracking app on their phones), or Worldcoin piloting in Kenya among a few other countries, these technologies are tested on more vulnerable populations before being applied to the general public, and having false positives fall on people where they may is the system working as intended.
We already knew the expression scanning software was racist, having been largely trained on white people, and its use will move on to the general population anyway. Those building the panopticon absolutely hate the public

"The UN Environment Programme estimated last year that on each square metre of Gaza there was an average of 107kg of debris from bombing and destruction. Much of this rubble is mixed with asbestos, unexploded ordnance, human remains and the toxins released by weaponry. Munitions contain metals such as lead, copper, manganese, alumnium compounds, mercury and depleted uranium. There are credible reports of the IDF illegally using white phosphorus: a hideous chemical and incendiary weapon that also causes widespread contamination of soil and water."

Amnesty also documented use of white phosphorus in gaza all the way back in 2009 during operation cast lead, so the time for feigned ignorance is over.
