create Calagator::Event 1250476770 Seattle Surveillance Ordinance: Information for Portland Tech Activists Roll back

description nil → *** Please note that this meeting is on the 3rd TUESDAY this month because of the Presidents Day holiday on Monday! *** *** Doors open at 6:00 PM and will be monitored for access until 6:20 PM *** Last month, we learned about the City of Portland's proposed facial recognition bans. The City is also considering implementing a surveillance policy later this year to address other types of surveillance technologies as well. The City of Seattle already has a Surveillance Ordinance, with about half of its total surveillance technologies still awaiting public comment. Cynthia Spiess will join us this month to give us a brief overview of the Seattle Surveillance Ordinance, the recent activism happening regarding the use of biometric technologies at the Port of Seattle (namely, SeaTac airport), and general recommendations for Portland privacy/tech activists. The focus of the presentation will be mainly on specific takeaways for Portland based on what activists have learned in Seattle. If time permits, she’ll also cover examples of problems identified in Seattle surveillance technologies. Since Seattle has one of the earliest Surveillance Ordinances in the nation, it also has a number of imperfections (like any beta or v1 software). There are some important lessons that Portland could learn from Seattle, in the hopes of Portland eventually having a stronger Surveillance Ordinance of its own. Bring your questions and join the discussion! We'll have snacks, and there will be an opportunity for networking afterwards. We hope to see you there! Schedule: 6:00 PM: Doors 6:10 PM: Introductions 6:15 PM: Presentation Speaker bio: Cynthia Spiess is a privacy activist currently living in Seattle.
