Under the pretext of the pandemic, most countries worldwide have used different surveillance technologies, either to track phone locations, facial recognition, drones, heat cameras and many other mechanisms. In Palestine, people had been more familiar with this kind of technology due to the Israeli military occupation use of these technologies to be tested on Palestinians before selling it to other regimes.
Over this session, we are supposed to focus on the profiting from surveillance technologies. The intersectional struggle between people in the world to resist these privacy violations against them will also highlight how the pandemic has been shortened many years to spread surveillance technologies against people. Finally, we will try to put forward a set of recommendations on the future outlook to combat this type of privacy violation.
