DoomsdaysCW<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ArmedPoliceDrones" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ArmedPoliceDrones</a> Are ComingFeb. 15, 2022 by Anthony Accurso (originally published in Reason . com)"It’s not just hobbyists who are exploiting the near-endless potential of unmanned aerial vehicles (<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/UAVs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#UAVs</a> or '<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/drones" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#drones</a>'). Law enforcement from all over the country—most especially federal agencies—are using, or making plans to use, drones to conduct <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/surveillance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#surveillance</a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/subdue" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#subdue</a> suspects."Americans first became widely aware of drone use by the government in the form of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PredatorUAVs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PredatorUAVs</a> deployed for intelligence and offensive purposes, almost exclusively in the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MiddleEast" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MiddleEast</a> against 'terrorists.'"But drone technology has come a long way in the last two decades, with drones getting smaller and being able to carry more added weight than before."These advances have allowed them to become the perfect platform upon which law enforcement builds its surveillance programs. Drones can carry sensors for GPS, radar, lidar, range-finding, magnetic fields, chemical and biological sniffers, and, of course, increasingly high-resolution cameras. Federal agencies often attach cell-site simulators to drones—calling them 'dirtboxes' in this use case—to collect digital and cellular data from all unsuspecting citizens in a particular area, not just suspects."Further electronics and software innovations have made these sensors more efficient and capable than ever. <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PredatorDrones" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PredatorDrones</a> operated by Customs and Border Protection (“<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CBP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CBP</a>”) are known to use a system called Vehicle and Dismount Exploitation Radar ('<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/VADER" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#VADER</a>'). VADER implements synthetic aperture radar, a tech trick that uses an aircraft’s motion to minimize the size of the antenna needed to create a high-res map of an area. By comparing these maps moment-by-moment, it creates a 'real-time ground moving target indicator' through 'detecting Doppler shift that moving objects produce in radar return signals.' Like the apex predator in Jurassic Park, these Predators rely on movement to 'see.'"A company called <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PersistentSurveillanceSystems" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PersistentSurveillanceSystems</a> has been operating a similar program, under contract by the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Baltimore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Baltimore</a> olice Department ('BPD'), that uses software to construct a real-time image from photos captured by aircraft-mounted cameras. BPD can then track the (outdoor) movement of every pedestrian or vehicle in a 32-square-mile area. This is ostensibly to track fleeing criminals or generate leads after a crime has occurred."While only sensors have been attached to domestic drones so far, the addition of weapons systems appears to be coming. In 2015, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NorthDakota" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NorthDakota</a> passed a law allowing police to equip drones with <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TearGas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TearGas</a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RubberBullets" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RubberBullets</a>.

Doc Edward Morbius ⭕FBI Seizure of Mastodon Server Data is a Wakeup Call to Fediverse Users and Hosts to Protect their Users (2023)<blockquote>In May [2023], Mastodon server Kolektiva.social was compromised when one of the server’s admins had their home raided by the FBI for unrelated charges. All of their electronics, including a backup of the instance database, were seized.It’s a chillingly familiar story which should serve as a reminder for the hosts, users, and developers of decentralized platforms: if you care about privacy, you have to do the work to protect it. We have a chance to do better from the start in the fediverse, so let’s take it. ...</blockquote><a href="https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2023/07/fbi-seizure-mastodon-server-wakeup-call-fediverse-users-and-hosts-protect-their" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2023/07/fbi-seizure-mastodon-server-wakeup-call-fediverse-users-and-hosts-protect-their</a>HN discussion: <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41434600" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41434600</a>This is an issue that's troubled me since joining the Fediverse in 2016, and as one of the people heavily involved in the "Plexodus" diaspora from the late unlamented <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/GooglePlus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GooglePlus</a>. Whilst large commercial providers have their failure points concerning privacy and law enforcement, they've also often stood up to over-broad attempts to surveil peoples' online activity. Small instances on distributed systems often run as hobbies or very small-scale subscription / donation-based operations might avoid the roving eye of such efforts, but also lack resources, knowledge, and procedures for how to respond when such seizures occur. As the EFF notes, Kolektiva failed to alert its members (and remote contacts) until months after the FBI raid.The EFF does have a promising guide to legal rights and considerations specifically tailored at the Fediverse: "User Generated Content and the Fediverse: A Legal Primer" <a href="https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2022/12/user-generated-content-and-fediverse-legal-primer" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2022/12/user-generated-content-and-fediverse-legal-primer</a><a href="https://toot.cat/tags/KolektivaSocial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#KolektivaSocial</a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/Kolektiva" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Kolektiva</a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/EFF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#EFF</a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/ElectronicFrontierFoundation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ElectronicFrontierFoundation</a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/CyberRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CyberRights</a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/FBI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FBI</a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/OnlineRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OnlineRights</a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/JacksonGames" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#JacksonGames</a>Edit: This is a 2023 story.
