Disclaimer: This page is by no means exhaustive and just meant to give some inspiration and a starting point for your own research.
This page will describe possible resources where to find information about deployments. Also make sure to read the pages about getting started, best practices, and how to create a deployment in the Wiki.
What is a deployment?[edit | ]
Deployments are the main entry we are concerned about. Deployment are all instances in which biometric surveillance technology is used. The deployments we are concerned about mainly are deployments in both public spaces such as train stations, and private spaces accessible by the public, such as malls. Please also refer to the glossary for information about specific terms.
Where to find information about deployments[edit | ]
News Articles[edit | ]
- A good starting point is to look for news articles that are concerned about biometric recognition/surveillance/identification. Additionally, it is also useful to search for terms like "Smart City" or "Smart Cameras" etc. because these types of projects often invovle biometric surveillance technologies.
- Investigative journalists often are the first ones to unveil biometric surveillance programmes, for exampe when a list of customers of Clearview AI was leaked.
- Additionally, regional publications sometimes have more detailled information about small deployments in minor cities.
- Another good source of information are tech-news sites, that are specifically concerned with news about technological developments. Sometimes there are also news sites that are specifically concerned about the intersection of technology and privacy.
- Of course it is important that the source is not a "Fake News" site.
NGOs[edit | ]
- NGOs concerned about the privacy of citizens are also often a good resource to find information about certain deployments.
- There are international NGOs such as Privacy International or Algorithm Watch that have information about a number of countries, however, their information is often not much in-depth.
- There are also country specific NGOs that often have more detailled information about certain deployments that internationa NGOs.
- To find international NGOs, a number of them are listed here and here. Of course these lists are not exhaustive and will probably not include the country that you are concerend with.
Parties / Parliamentary Enquires[edit | ]
- Parties that have the protection of privacy in their programme are often good information sources about deployments in the respective countries.
- These parties are often the Liberals/Greens/Left party of a country
