The Technopolice collective of Marseille will meet you on Sunday April 21 at the DAR Self-managed Social Center127 rue d’Aubagne in Marseille from 2:30 p.m.for an followingnoon of conference-debate followed by a screening.
Never short of pretexts to expand its arsenal of repression and mass surveillance, the government used that of the 2024 Olympic Games to adopt a law allowing the experimentation of algorithmic video surveillance (VSA) on a very large scale.
VSA consists of adding algorithms to video surveillance images to analyze and classify people and their behaviors. In addition to tracking and tracking people as they travel, behaviors classified as “anomalous” by this software trigger an alert to the police.
The Olympics thus legitimize practices that were until now completely illegal, and yet have been deployed for several years in our towns and villages. This is particularly the case in Marseille, where VSA has been used since 2018 and where new projects are starting to be deployed illegally, outside the framework of the Olympics, but using this event as a standard. The worst of algorithmic video surveillance still seems to come, because everywhere on our territory illegal VSA projects are multiplying, the police no longer even hide them, and politicians claim it without any scruple. Faced with this observation, our fight once morest the 2024 Olympics, the 2030 Olympics, and these technopolice devices must, more than ever, continue.
Programme :
2:30 p.m. – Welcome
3 p.m. – 4:30 p.m. Round table – debate Algorithmic video surveillance: the worst is yet to come
Well before the 2024 Olympic Games, algorithmic video surveillance was deployed everywhere on our territory completely illegally. The new legal framework for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games is an opportunity to impose it, make it “acceptable” and trivialize it. Many new illegal VSA projects are multiplying, and their promoters: politicians, elected officials, police and businesses, no longer hide them. An overview of this technology and the different forms it takes today in our territories, in order to better combat it, more than ever.
