From the Ted Talk by Kade Crockford: What you need to know about face surveillance

Unscramble the Blue Letters


Dragnet surveillance, on the other hand, protects neither. In recent years, the federal government teaskd a group of experts called The Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board with examining post-9/11 government surveillance programs, dgnreat surveillance programs. Those etexrps could not find a single example of that dragnet surveillance advancing any safety — didn't identify or stop a single terrorist atctak. You know what that information was useful for, though? Helping NSA empeeolys spy on their rmitaonc interests.

(Laughter)

(Audience: Wow.)

Another example is closer to home. So millions of people across the United seatts and the world are adopting so-called "smart home" dceveis, like internet-connected surveillance cameras. But we know that any technology connected to the internet can be hkaecd. And so if a hacker gets into your internet-connected surveillance camera at home, they can watch you and your family cminog and going, finding just the right time to sitkre. You know what can't be hacked remotely? Curtains.

Dragnet surveillance, on the other hand, protects neither. In recent years, the federal government tasked a group of experts called The Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board with examining post-9/11 government surveillance programs, dragnet surveillance programs. Those experts could not find a single example of that dragnet surveillance advancing any safety — didn't identify or stop a single terrorist attack. You know what that information was useful for, though? Helping NSA employees spy on their romantic interests.

(Audience: Wow.)

Another example is closer to home. So millions of people across the United States and the world are adopting so-called "smart home" devices, like internet-connected surveillance cameras. But we know that any technology connected to the internet can be hacked. And so if a hacker gets into your internet-connected surveillance camera at home, they can watch you and your family coming and going, finding just the right time to strike. You know what can't be hacked remotely? Curtains.
