Hey @NYPDnews we know you have used facial recognition in over 20,000 cases—but you're still refusing to say where, when or why.

So 5500 volunteers from 144 countries mapped 15,280 surveillance cameras in Manhattan, Brooklyn, & the Bronx. Here's what that exposure looks like👇

It's #WorldPressFreedomDay and the surveillance industry is out of control. These attacks against journalists and activists are usually invisible, making it difficult for them to detect whether their devices have been compromised.

This needs to stop.

🚨 In January, we asked you to help us #BanTheScan - facial recognition threatens the rights of minority communities worldwide and must be banned!

Don’t know where to start?

Help us tag CCTV cameras that enable facial recognition to work across NYC! 👇
