The National Week of Action Against Automated License Plate Readers is an opportunity for all of us who oppose surveillance to stand up together and say no! DeFlock has received an overwhelming response to the call for a Week of Action as thousands of people, from coast to coast and across the political spectrum, have already registered.

    From the map they show, Alaska, Hawaii, Montana, and Wyoming need to get off their butt! Edit -> and New Hampshire and Vermont.

    And for the Canadians in the house, https://panopti.ca/ They have a heatmap you can click on.

    Wtf… Who would register for something like that? If you’re anti-surveillance, you should be aware that the government is watching shit like that. Just go to the demonstration or whatever but don’t sign up for it.

      If I’m looking at the right thing (??) it seems to want just an email? It doesn’t ask for real names or anything. So you could just make a throwaway. Looks like they just want some way to contact local groups and people.

      That’s waht I saw on their main page anyway at https://noalprs.com/index.html. Unless I’m missing another registration thing.

      Yeah, I have to agree. Some sort of broadcast channel would be far more suitable. You’d think they’d know better but I guess that’s too much to ask.

    I can’t believe there are demonstrations. Every time I have a conversation with someone about privacy, they just drool and their eyes gloss over. I did convince one guy to change one habit recently. Guess I’ll take the win.
