With the first\, the City joined a group of thi rteen other cities in addressing use of the technology by public agencie s. Portland went a step further\, though\, and became the first city in the US\, and possibly the world\, to also ban use of facial recognition technology by private entities! \;\n \;\nWhile banning facial reco gnition limits tracking of our faces as we go about our daily lives\, a number of other biometric technologies such as gait recognition\, iris a nd retina scans\, and heartbeat recognition can be used to work around t hese bans. Even non-biometric technologies\, like automatic license plat e readers (ALPR) and social media monitoring\, can also be used to track our movements and actions. For this reason\, the City must also conside r limiting use of other surveillance technologies and create a broader s urveillance ordinance. \;\n \;\nSeveral US cities\, including Seat tle\, Oakland\, and Somerville\, MA\, have adopted such ordinances\, whi ch typically require public input as well as City Council approval befor e surveillance technologies can be used by government agencies. \;\n& #13\;\nThis presentation will cover a brief overview of the Seattle Surv eillance Ordinance\, recommendations for Portland privacy/tech activists about passing a Portland Surveillance Ordinance\, and recent activism h appening regarding the use of biometric technologies at the Port of Seat tle (namely at SeaTac airport). The overarching focus will be more on sp ecific takeaways for Portland based on what activists have learned in Se attle. It will also touch on the broader collection of biometric informa tion. Since Seattle has one of the earliest Surveillance Ordinances in t he nation\, it also has a number of imperfections (like any beta or v1 s oftware). There are some important lessons that Portland could learn fro m Seattle\, in the hopes of Portland eventually having a stronger Survei llance Ordinance of its own. \;\n \;\nThe first roughly 45 minutes will consist of the presentation and the remaining time is set aside fo r questions and discussion. Please bring your questions! We hope for a l ively and interactive discussion after the presentation. \;\n \;\n Speaker bio: \;\n \;\nThe speaker has nearly a decade of experienc e working in tech\, primarily in cybersecurity.
