A much younger Aral delivers a warning about where surveillance tech is headed twelve years ago.

The terms I use might have evolved as I did since then (“free” as in freedom, instead of “open” as in open for business, “design” instead of “user experience”, “people” instead of “consumers”) but I’m still working on realising the exact same goal with Small Tech and the Small Web.

                                        WA Police will become the first force in the country to use real-time AI-generated facial recognition in public spaces.

                                        The state government on Friday launched the Overt Live Facial Recognition program with a trial of the cameras at the police academy in Joondalup

                                        The technology monitors groups of people from police vans and compares faces against a database of targets in real-time.
