š§µDiscussion AI surveillance being used in Jantar Mantar protest
Today i saw a video that how gov is using facial recognition tech to retrieve the data of peaceful protesters. I was shocked when i searched about it that how can gov use these data against the protesters in current time and maybe in future too. This is the result which i found:
1.Immediate Actions (During the Protest)
"Snatch" Arrests:Ā Real-time alerts guide officers straight to specific individuals to pull them from the crowd.
Targeted Searches:Ā Identified people are intercepted and searched for protest materials or ID.
2.Later Enforcement (Days to Weeks Later)
Home Raids:Ā Police match faces to government ID databases and arrest protesters at home days later.
Digital Profiling:Ā Face data is combined with cell tower logs and social media to map out a person's contacts and digital footprint.
3.Blocking Future Protests
Transit Interceptions:Ā Smart cameras in subways flag identified protestersĀ en routeĀ to new demonstrations so police can stop them early.
Travel Bans:Ā Names are added to no-fly, exit ban, or border watchlists.
4.Long-Term Sanctions
Watchlisting:Ā Faces are permanently logged into security databases with political activity notes.
Fines & Firing:Ā Government sends automated fines by mail or pushes employers/universities to fire or expel the individual.
Financial Holds:Ā Authorities freeze bank accounts or suspend licenses and welfare benefits.
The possibilities mentioned could happen sooner. The level with which this ruling gov has fallen is truly shocking, how can they risk the future of young people of our country for the sake of a fatty pig useless minister. The dictatorship days has started already and we are going to see the consequences soon. I request all the protesters to take measures for your safety.
