A look at surveillance data fusion, which happens when thousands of disparate devices and tools become one all-seeing surveillance platform
Arthur Holland Michel / Wired : Tweets: @torproject , @wired , @gadgetlab , @wired , and @hypervisible Tweets: @torproject : “We're rarely not in the crosshairs of some spying device... The fact that intelligence can be difficult and tedious to correlate was perhaps the last natural rampart standing between us & total surveillance... Fusion technology eviscerates those spaces.” https://www.wired.com/... @wired : With fusion technology, our digital footprints, once scattered, become a single uninterrupted life history. https://www.wired.com/... @gadgetlab : Security cameras. License plate readers. Smartphone trackers. Drones. We're being watched 24/7. What happens when all those data streams fuse into one? https://www.wired.com/... @wired : The idea of an ever-expanding, all-knowing surveillance platform used to be a technologist's fantasy. The emergence of multi-intelligence fusion might make it a reality https://www.wired.com/... @hypervisible : Harrowing long read. You probably don't want to know what a “correlation engine” is in a LE context, but you need to know. https://www.wired.com/...
