Some migrants in US immigration prison are on hunger strike and being force-fed. They are being held waiting for hearings to decide whether they can have asylum.
UCLA has yielded to public pressure and decided not to install face recognition technology.
I suggest sending a message of appreciation. Here is what I sent.
From: Richard StallmanTo: chancellor@ucla.edu cc: media@stratcomm.ucla.edu cc: rms bcc: lia@fightforthefuture.org Subject: Thank you for no face recognition bcc: rms-outgoing@gnu.org Reply-To: rms@gnu.org --text follows this line-- I am very gratified to read that UCLA decided not to use face recognition technology. It is not illegal to deploy systematic face recognition, but it ought to be, since it is the foundation for repression. All organizations have the responsibility to help prevent face recognition from becoming widespread. See https://gnu.org/philosophy/surveillance-vs-democracy.html for why that level of surveillance is incompatible with democracy. Also https://stallman.org/articles/real-privacy-laws.html.
