Today\, however\, with the advent of social media and surve illance technologies\, along with the movement of many aspects of our li ves into the digital realm\, our data has become more widely available a nd more public. Between emails\, web searches\, phone calls\, CCTV camer as\, social media posts\, and online transactions\, we can be tracked by private companies as well as our government. \;\n \;\nBut\, how m uch of this tracking is even legal? \;\n \;\nCyrus Farivar’s book Habeas Data examines ten pivotal legal cases that have shaped our curren t rights related to privacy and also explores surveillance tools in use today.

While some uses of facial recognition\, like unlocking your p hone\, may be convenient\, others allow your facial information to be co llected\, used\, and shared\, without your knowledge or consent. Both go vernments and companies are now using this technology\, often with littl e to no oversight or rules in place. In addition to transparency issues\ , facial recognition software programs have varying degrees of accuracy and have been shown to be less reliable when analyzing people of color\, women\, and children. \;\n \;\nBecause of these issues\, some cit ies\, including San Francisco\, Oakland\, and Somerville\, MA\, have ban ned government agencies from using facial recognition. Portland city off icials are also considering a facial recognition ban and are looking to go a step further and address use by private entities as well. \;\n&# 13\;\nThere are many details to consider when adopting technologies like facial recognition\, which can be used for surveillance. What are the c osts and benefits? Who will be the target of the surveillance? Will it m ake us safer? What are we giving up in exchange for that safety? And sho uld the technology be adopted at all? \;\n \;\nOn June 15th\, join us for a combined event\, with local privacy group PDX Privacy\, where we'll ask our knowledgeable panelists the answers to these questions. We 'll explore the risks of facial recognition technology\, the ways it aff ects various groups of people\, and how we can preserve our privacy and protect our communities. \;\n \;\nWe'll have a Q&\;A period via the chat box\, but you can also send questions in advance to panel_even t@pdxprivacy.org\, and we'll work to get them into the discussion. \; \n \;\nModerator: Chris Bushick (PDX Privacy) \;\n \;\nPanelist s: \;\n \;\n- Sarah Hamid - CAIR Oregon \;\n \;\n- Commissio ner Jo Ann Hardesty - Portland City Council \;\n \;\n- Nathan &quo t\;nash"\; Sheard - Electronic Frontier Foundation \;\n \;\n- Clare Garvie - Center on Privacy and Technology at Georgetown Law \;\ n \;\n \;\nBy attending this TA3M meeting\, you agree to follow ou r Code of Conduct: \;\nhttps://www.meetup.com/Portlands-Techno-Activi sm-3rd-Mondays/pages/22681732/Code_of_Conduct/ \;\n \;\n{short} Co de of Conduct \;\nPortland's Techno-Activism 3rd Mondays is dedicated to providing an informative and positive experience for everyone who pa rticipates in or supports our community\, regardless of gender\, gender identity and expression\, sexual orientation\, ability\, physical appear ance\, body size\, race\, ethnicity\, age\, religion\, socioeconomic sta tus\, caste\, or creed. \;\n \;\nOur events are intended to educat e and share information related to technology and activism\, and anyone who is there for this purpose is welcome.

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.

Which of these technologies are cur rently being used in Portland\, and what are the policies for their use? How do we know if usage or policies change? \;\n \;\nThere are ma ny factors to consider when adopting surveillance technologies like thes e: What are the costs and benefits? When\, and in what manner\, will a c apability be used? Who will be the target of surveillance? Will it make us safer? What are we giving up in exchange for that safety? And should a particular technology be adopted at all? \;\n \;\nIn order to an swer these questions\, some cities—like Cambridge\, New Orleans\, San Fr ancisco\, Oakland\, and Seattle—have passed ordinances that regulate the acquisition and use of surveillance technologies. These ordinances ofte n require the approval of a city council or other legislative body befor e a city agency can acquire a particular technology or change the way in which a current technology is used. \;\n \;\nShould Portland pass this type of ordinance\, and if so\, how might the law work? \;\n 3\;\nOn March 15th\, join us for a combined event\, with local privacy g roup PDX Privacy\, where we'll ask our insightful panelists the answers to these questions.

This policy will create the transparency and accountabil ity processes for use and purchase of surveillance technologies. It will also define roles and responsibilities for decision making\, oversight\ , and implementing aspects of this policy. \;\n \;\nThe Smart City PDX program and the Office of Equity and Human Rights are coordinating policy development actions\, including policy drafting\, City of Portlan d agencies coordination\, and public engagement. \;\n \;\nThese po licies need to be informed by those most impacted. Negative impacts of s urveillance technologies are disproportionately experienced by Black\, I ndigenous\, and People of Color communities. Abuses derived from surveil lance technologies can endanger people’s freedoms\, civil rights\, and l iberties. \;\n \;\nExisting Portland policies define surveillance technologies as any software\, electronic device\, system utilizing an e lectronic device\, or similar used\, designed\, or primarily intended to collect\, retain\, analyze\, process\, or share audio\, electronic\, vi sual\, location\, thermal\, olfactory\, biometric\, or similar informati on specifically associated with\, or capable of being associated with\, any individual or group. \;\n \;\nThis definition covers certain s urveillance technologies\; however\, emergent technologies\, including a rtificial intelligence and predictive inference algorithms\, are not nec essarily covered by this definition. The City is exploring an updated de finition of surveillance technologies that includes these new and emerge nt information technologies. \;\n \;\nRead more about the policy r oadmap and engagement plan here: \;\nhttps://www.smartcitypdx.com/new s/2021/8/11/the-city-of-portland-starts-the-work-developing-its-surveill ance-policy \;\n\n\nTags: pdx\, surveillance\, Smart City PDX\, ta3m\ , Cascadia Partners\, Office of Equity and Human Rights\, PDX Privacy\n\ nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250478013 URL:https://www.meetup.com/Portlands-Techno-Activism-3rd-Mondays/events/2 82416108/ SUMMARY:Surveillance technologies policy development codesign event LOCATION:Online: placeholder for on-line events\, SEQUENCE:1 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20220107T174115Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20220118T190000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20220118T180000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20220107T174115Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20220107T174115Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250478043 DESCRIPTION:***NOTE: this meeting is on the 3rd TUESDAY because of the Ma rtin Luther King\, Jr. holiday on Monday!*** \;\n \;\nThe 2020s ha ve seen new and complex challenges for those fighting for reproductive f reedom.

But SB8 goe s further\, giving citizens with no connection to the woman the right to sue in civil court any person who aids her in seeking an abortion.

Since several of the cou ntries that will be a party to this agreement do not have strong human r ights protections\, advocates at the Trade Justice Education Fund (TJEF) are concerned that lower standards set at the international level will have a negative impact on US laws. \;\n \;\nJoin us this month whe n Yimei Shao\, PNW Regional Organizer for TJEF\, will talk about the IPE F international trade deal and how it could impact consumer data privacy \, workplace surveillance\, and other issues that intersect with labor a nd technology. \;\n \;\nYou can read more about deal in the US Tr ade Rep's fact sheet: \;\nhttps://ustr.gov/about-us/policy-offices/pr ess-office/press-releases/2022/may/fact-sheet-asia-president-biden-and-d ozen-indo-pacific-partners-launch-indo-pacific-economic \;\n \;\nC ome learn about this trade deal and how you can make your voice heard!&# 13\;\n \;\nPlease RSVP via this Meetup page or by sending an email to ta3mevents@pdxprivacy.org. \;\n \;\n \;\nSpeaker bio: \;\n& #13\;\nYimei Shao (they/them) is the PNW Regional Organizer for the Trad e Justice Education Fund (TJEF)\, and also serves as the Chair of the Gl obal Justice Committee at Portland Jobs with Justice (PDX JWJ).
