Re. "what does the rest of sudo think?"<br>
<br>
Microphones & cameras on shot-spotters? What about the
software-controlled mics & cameras on smartphones, that people
carry into indoor places where the DAC cameras and mics can't go?
If it doesn't have a physical OFF switch or a removable battery,
it's always ON.<br>
<br>
NSA snooping your metadata? What about Google Mail and Google Voice
scraping the full content of both sides of every email &
conversation for everything down to the level of "sentiment
analysis" which is a euphemism for spying on your emotions?
"Targeted advertising" is a distraction; Big Data is the real
product.<br>
<br>
DAC data center creepy? What about Facebook creepy, and Sudo having
a Facebook page, even as Mark Zuckerberg spends $16 million to buy
up every house on his block, so his neighbors can't do unto him that
which he does unto others...? <br>
<br>
Big Power is inherently corrupt wherever it resides. Big Data is
Big Power. Even if it has good marketing, cute logos, total
convenience, free apps, free games, and endless entertainment.<br>
<br>
Corporate power says "don't bite the hand that feeds you."<br>
<br>
Resistance says "don't feed the hand that bites you."<br>

Hey all,<br>
<br>
The Bay Area Public School has scheduled a surveillance
awareness<br>
event on Friday 2/21 7-9pm in the common room entitled
Spied Upon:<br>
Surveillance & Resistance. I was hoping we (sudo)
could co-host this<br>
event with BAPS, because I think it'd be really cool if we
start doing<br>
more events together. BAPS can do most all of the setup,
but it'd be<br>
great if Sudo can do outreach too, since I think it'd be
in the<br>
interest of both communities.<br>
<br>
What do you think?<br>
<br>
There's a twofold focus on informants and technological
surveillance.<br>
Here's the Sudo Room calendar EVENT LINK [1]. Details are
below -<br>
<br>
SPIED UPON: SURVEILLANCE AND RESISTANCE<br>
Join us Friday February 21st 7-9 pm at the Bay Area Public
School [2]<br>
& Sudo Room<br>
2141 Broadway (enter on 22nd), Oakland - three blocks
from 19th St.<br>
Bart!<br>
<br>
Between the ever-present fear of informants to the
profusion of<br>
metadata collection and the construction of the Domain
Awareness<br>
Center [3] (DAC) in Oakland, the growing problem of
surveillance has<br>
made it into the mainstream dialog, but the people and
communities<br>
most affected are sometimes being left out of the
conversation.<br>
<br>
Join us for an evening of ideas, discussion and questions
about<br>
solidarity in the face of this intimidation. How do we
support one<br>
another and our movements when being targeted by police,
surveillance<br>
and informants? What are the legal, community and
political responses<br>
that can best keep the larger "us" safe and allow our
movements to<br>
flourish?<br>
<br>
- SPEAKERS -<br>
JASON KIRKPATRICK, filmmaker and activist, will show clips
of and<br>
discuss his upcoming film, _SPIED UPON_ [4]. Interviewing
activists<br>
across the world and telling his own personal story, Jason
will take<br>
us on a journey into one of Europe's biggest political
surveillance<br>
scandals, documenting growing movements of resistance to
surveillance<br>
along the way.<br>
<br>
ZAHRA BILLOO, Civil rights attorney and Executive Director
at the Bay<br>
Area COUNCIL ON AMERICAN-ISLAMIC RELATIONS [5] (CAIR),
speaks on the<br>
use of informants in a post-9/11 context, their impact,
the<br>
community's resistance and lessons learned.<br>
<br>
RICHARD BROWN, Black Panther and member of the SF8 [6],
will share his<br>
history with undercover police and surveillance, imparting
the 'long<br>
view' of solidarity learned from a lifetime of activism.<br>
<br>
- PANEL DISCUSSION -<br>
Q & A with the speakers will follow in conversation
with<br>
representatives from:<br>
BAY AREA ANTI-REPRESSION COMMITTEE [7]<br>
BAY AREA COALITION TO STOP POLITICAL REPRESSION [8] (at
AROC)<br>
LEGAL WORKERS OF THE NATIONAL LAWYERS GUILD [9] (NLG)<br>
OAKLAND PRIVACY WORKING GROUP [10] (OPWG / anti-DAC)<br>
<br>
All donations gratefully received will go to the Bay Area<br>
Anti-Repression Committee and the Legal Workers at the Bay
Area<br>
chapter of the NLG - two groups long supporting the Bay
Area radical<br>
community with legal and educational assistance. Thank
you!<br>
