#HyperSurveillance
I can’t stop thinking about how ‘06 really was the turning point for society as a whole. Hypersurveillance was able to really gain momentum because social media and “content creation” had become more accessible than ever before. Really scary shit in retrospect.

Yousra Youssoufa is a young designer worth watching.

Her collection examines hypersurveillance and the pressure placed on Black bodies to constantly monitor themselves. She turns that tension into clothing while making community part of the process.

Dear AI hypersurveillance, tell me what percentage of dude wipes are purchased by employees of the state police. Is it 100? Thank you.

Black folks are getting lynched, masked men disappear people off the streets, police use hypersurveillance to stalk and abuse women, local governments are bought by industrial barons to ignore citizens...

are we using pre-Civil War Democrats as the standard?

no they just wanna be as big a part as possible of the technofascist AI slop hypersurveillance hellscape being built here

I was full-on team Battlestar Galactica until I realized that no matter what I did, there was no chance I would ever have actual privacy. Now, I’m just strategic, like devaluing stolen information by making that information public and leveraging hypersurveillance to my advantage.

I really hate that we’ve normalized recording strangers in public to the point that ppl are willingly participating in hypersurveillance :/

really hate it.

(4/n) To be clear, I hate this!!!! But I also can't help but notice that the scholars most pressured to use these are precisely the ones who currently face hypersurveillance in the academy. And given the readers' reports I've seen, I can see why this would appeal.

This hypersurveillance culture also puts peoples' creativity in the public eye in the worst way, and everyone is so afraid of Doing It Wrong, or Not Being Good All At Once, and I need people to understand that learning to find fun in creative failure is how you also learn to keep learning.

until y'all stop voluntarily taking part in all this hypersurveillance via ring cameras & make the connections...

Hundreds of local police departments are preparing to deploy autonomous, AI-driven surveillance drones. The drones are capable of following a single vehicle across an entire city, capturing footage through apartment windows, and generally recording daily life from the sky without being noticed.
First Came the Flock Cameras. Now Local Cops Want Autonomous Drones.
Hundreds of local police departments have received waivers to fly surveillance drones that navigate with AI.

a friend (older BW) sent to me on IG as a warm gesture

...this feels extremely sinister given the hypersurveillance going on. it's wild that it's seen as care

The courtroom visual novel Of The Devil uses hypersurveillance as a premise (and imo is elevated by it).

It certainly requires more contrivance.

The same technology that is honed and trained on Palestinians finds its home in America on O’odham land And along the border. hypersurveillance and harassment that too many accepted at the border is coming for all of us now.

Yes, giving you candy while it sucks up data on your newborn and continues to track her as she grows up

This is creepy and normalises the hypersurveillance of society from childhood onwards. I wonder what psychological impact this will have on childhood, this continuous monitoring…
“It is the Eye of Sauron, but it also knows when we enter our daughter’s room in the morning and joy hits her face — and it sends us intelligently edited montages of these moments.”

I survived growing up Evangelical, and I know purity culture when I see it

Hypersurveillance is purity culture

Punching down/ targeted humiliation excused as "tough love" is purity culture

Purity culture teaches absolute obedience, regardless of circumstances

Purity culture is dangerous

Return of the Weathermen.

Except in our hypersurveillance state, it'll be a lot more difficult.

Black girls are already adultified in schools-being seen as older, less innocent & more sexualized. Bans on trans girls are going to catch cis Black girls in hypersurveillance & hyperpunishment. Protect trans girls and kids. Protect Black girls. Fight against trans bans. Fight for trans kids

I feel like gun laws should be handled with more nuance. Considering the push for worldwide hypersurveillance on Australia's end, due to such laws fueling the belief that they are immune to the consequences of their actions.

I genuinely don't know how to feel about China trying to lead the global commune. Their hypersurveillance state worries me, the CCP seem to largely just be communists in name only, and I fear that certain types of people would be labeled degenerates at best, and non-persons at worst.

Allowing algorithmic'y AI driven software into all aspects of the biggest single health database of a pop. in the world+ to share for whatever purpose deemed fit is a hypersurveillance environment that shld worry us all. GP+ hosp clinical systems cld share clinical data better but without Palantir.
