🇵🇸 Anti-genocide activists exposed by pro-Israel groups using facial recognition tech | The Cradle
"Foreign activists who took part in widespread #campus #protests against US support for the Israeli #genocide of Palestinians in #Gaza are being exposed by pro-Israel groups using #FacialRecognition technology and tip lines, according to an investigation by AP.
#Zionist organization #Betar US has reportedly submitted a list of identified protesters to #US federal officials. The list was compiled with the help of Eliyahu Hawila, a New York-based software engineer who built a facial recognition tool called #NesherAI designed to identify masked protesters.
“It’s a very concerning practice,” said Abed Ayoub, National Executive Director of the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee. “Essentially, the administration is outsourcing #surveillance.”"
