![👀 Surveillance is creeping further & further into our lives. 👀
While cities overseas are banning facial recognition technology for mass surveillance, and even big tech companies are facing up to the dangers of facial recognition tech and the harm it causes, the Australian government welcomes it with open arms.
Help us tell the Australian government that it's not on, and that we wont allow Australia to slip further toward a surveillance state. Add your voice to our campaign at drw.fyi/in-your-face or through the link in our bio!
