Do you live in a country where surveillance tech has been introduced in response to coronavirus? Has your gov, health dept or a local charity created an app to track the virus or enforce quarantine? Are police using drones or robots to patrol your streets? If so I need your help!
I& #39;m working with @tokmetzis, @The_Corres and @decorrespondent to track the laws and technology enabling these surveillance measures across the world. You can read about the project here: https://thecorrespondent.com/400/keeping-watch-help-us-track-coronavirus-surveillance-around-the-world/52414375200-3aed992e">https://thecorrespondent.com/400/keepi...
We want to track this subject long-term, finding out how successful these measures are at tackling the virus, how they affect people& #39;s lives and how long they are used for. Also what happens when the crisis is over? Will these laws and tech be retracted or will they stick around?
This is a giant task so we want to hear what you think. Have you seen this tech rolled out in your country? Are you working on an app to support your health system? Are you already researching this topic? Get in touch with me directly or fill out our form: https://thecorrespondent.typeform.com/to/cTziSW ">https://thecorrespondent.typeform.com/to/cTziSW...
There are already some great projects tracking these developments such as @privacyint, @Samuel_Woodhams, @RuBlackListNET (please point out who I have missed). So, hopefully we can add to the important work that& #39;s already being done.
