Today we release a paper warning about the exploitation of the #COVIDー19 pandemic to build on existing counter terrorism infrastructure to further infiltrate public health and private life. #StayAlert #StayHome
#Coronavirus #COVID19 Here are the key points [
thread]:
The counter-terror sector is weaving its toxic policies into the realm of public health, deeply tying #data control, #surveillance and security to the public sector;
Aspects of a proposed centralised contact tracing system will be outsourced to known rights abusers, such as Serco, G4S, and Palantir; #NHSX
PREVENT purveyors seeking to embed 'Counter Extremism' policy into the home, and extend online #surveillance to close down #digital spaces of organising;#EndPREVENT
Broadening the " #extremism" net by criminalising "conspiracy theories" as a new kind of illegal discourse, to silence criticism of the government.
Concerned people and groups must resist this together. CAGE continue to guard the rights of communities and all those impacted by security abuse.
