Digital Identities that Benefit Humans
Today I’ll be traveling to Geneva to attend the Global Digital Collaboration Conference which seeks to “foster wallets, credentials and trusted infrastructure for the benefit of all humans.” I want to make sure that whatever comes out of this discussion really does benefit humans, and is therefore rooted in human rights. I have spoken publicly about how we incorporate ethics into our standards and specifications in order to make sure we ground them in human rights and “avoid […]

Wow.
“A new site, FuckLAPD.com, is using public records and facial recognition technology to allow anyone to identify police officers in Los Angeles they have a picture of. The tool, made by artist Kyle McDonald, is designed to help people identify cops who may otherwise try to conceal their identity, such as covering their badge or serial number.
“We deserve to know who is shooting us in the face even when they have their badge covered up,” McDonald told me when I asked if the site was made in response to police violence during the LA protests against ICE that started earlier this month. “fucklapd.com is a response to the violence of the LAPD during the recent protests against the horrific ICE raids. And more broadly—the failure of the LAPD to accomplish anything useful with over $2B in funding each year.””
