Amazon is turning all of their delivery vehicles into surveillance machines.

"Sign the petition: stop Amazon’s surveillance fleet.

Major outlets report that Amazon is installing artificial intelligence (AI), four lense cameras in their delivery vans. These constantly recording, AI cameras collect and analyze footage of the driver (including their eye movement!), our neighborhoods, our homes, and our children.1 It seems inevitable that Amazon will share video captured with their 2,000+ law enforcement partners––the privacy policy obtained by CNBC clearly states that they can and will share footage with police.2,3

For the delivery drivers, these devices will only further suppress worker organizing and exacerbate unsafe conditions.4 Drivers concerned with alerts from cameras impacting their performance will be more focused on the surveillance cam than the road. Managers will be able to use recorded video to spy on workers creating an environment ripe for harassment and abuse.

Amazon’s ever-growing surveillance empire is a nightmare on steroids. Join us in demanding Amazon stop the rollout of this dangerous program."

The attack on privacy continues. It is a basic premise of democratic society that the individual owns their information and that the information is copyrighted in their name.

Corporations and government disagree. In their obsession to abrogate our right to privacy they have forgotten this basic premise. By so doing, they have proven that in fact this society is not democratic at all. It is not run 'by the people, for the people', it is run by the corporation, with official sanction from government, and for the sake of the shareholder. That is called communism, with a small 'c' or sometimes the generic title of 'socialism'.

In either case, communism and socialism have the same goal...dictatorial rule by a small cadre of powerful elites. The end goal is to capitalize (on) the selected ideology as Fascism or Communism. The difference being only who has the final say, corporations = Fascism, government = Communism.

wear a mask fully covering the face is a solution, Guido Fawkes or Bozo would be nice.
