Antifar 12/15/21 10:10:51 PM #1:	https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/dec/15/revealed-los-angeles-police-social-media-surveillance-technology The Los Angeles police department worked with a Polish firm that specializes in strategic communications to monitor social media and collect millions of tweets last year, including thousands related to Black Lives Matter and defund the police, according to records reviewed by the Guardian. Internal LAPD documents, obtained by the Brennan Center for Justice through public records requests, reveal that the department conducted a one-month trial of social media monitoring software from Edge NPD, a company that typically worked in advertising and marketing, had no prior experience contracting with law enforcement and was based thousands of miles away in Warsaw, Poland. During the trial in fall 2020, Edge NPD tracked tweets on roughly 200 keywords for LAPD, the records show. In the process, the software collected millions of tweets, according to Edge NPDs CEO, Dobromir Cias. The data set included tens of thousands of tweets related to Black Lives Matter and racial justice protests, some of them from prominent Black activists outside LA and private civilians advocating for reforms, the files show. The records suggest that LAPD was interested in using the companys services in part to help the department respond to negative narratives. Cias told the Guardian the company also aimed to flag possible threats. The documents did not reveal what LAPD did with the data that was collected, and the department did not respond to repeated requests for comment. LAPD ultimately did not pursue a permanent contract with the firm. But still, experts said, the trial raised serious concerns. They wondered about the effectiveness of pulling in so much data, in so little time. Some said that, although law enforcement, journalists and researchers regularly monitor public online activity, it was troubling that a police agencys social media monitoring activities appeared to include tracking a broad swath of critics. And the partnership also raised questions about oversight of surveillance technology, as well as police agencies data collection practices. LAPDs test run with Edge NPD came as law enforcement agencies have increasingly been forced to take their investigations online, and have sought tools to do so. Tech firms have responded by pushing new innovations and pursuing police contracts, and LAPD and the New York police department, with some of the largest budgets in the US, have often been at the forefront of piloting software. Edge NPD primarily assists private companies with market research and helps them ensure that advertising campaigns arent jeopardized by bots and trolls, Cias told the Guardian. The company was connected to LAPD by a US government agency that had used the firms software. A representative of that federal department emailed Edge NPD in September 2020, saying LAPD was interested in using its services for public safety and strategic communications and to identify disruptive social media activity being artificially amplified by malign actors. ABTShield, Edge NPDs proprietary software, could help LAPD identify as early as possible when activity that could lead to civil unrest is being amplified via social media, the US representative wrote, adding, From a messaging perspective, knowing what the negative narratives being artificially amplified are would allow the communications team to create effective and timely responses. During the 40-day trial in October and November of 2020, Edge NPD provided LAPD with a dashboard monitoring tweets related to six topics: civil unrest, American policing, domestic extremism and white nationalism, election security, potential danger and the conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan (which at the time was prompting local LA protests). The two entities discussed roughly 200 possible keywords to follow, including lapdchiefmoore, abolish the police, nojusticenopeace, police budget, police killing and acab (a protest slogan that stands for all cops are bastards). In one email, Cias suggested adding defund the police and BLM to the list of keywords to follow. An LAPD official agreed that BLM would be good to monitor, but added that there are MANY legitimate people who are using that to express their rights, records show. Cias said that in addition to the dashboard, on occasion he would also personally send tweets to LAPD that he thought might signal a public safety threat. The major goal was to actually pass [along] quickly anything that looks kind of dangerous, he said. He acknowledged he didnt always confirm whether the content he was forwarding was legitimate: When youre passing this information, you dont really know how serious it is. I think its up to law enforcement to really verify if its true We dont do fact checking. At one point, the records show, Cias emailed the department a post from a critic who had tweeted a video that appeared to show an LAPD officer tackling a journalist with a comment the department was overfunded and high on power. (Cias told the Guardian he was sharing it as an example of how defund narratives were gaining traction online.) --- kin to all that throbs <cite>Antifar posted [p:960953889] in LAPD colle...

Antifar 12/15/21 10:35:55 PM #10:	Continued: Mary Pat Dwyer, a Brennan Center fellow, questioned why LAPD was wasting limited resources to chase content online that doesnt pose any kind of safety threat, including ordinary political speech and criticisms of police. Its striking the volume of information that they were pulling in and the terms they were using. Its hard to understand how LAPD would even be processing all of this. It creates a much larger haystack of data that doesnt actually lead to any real, tangible, positive outcome for communities, said Steven Renderos, executive director of the national racial justice organization Media Justice. Instead it just equips the police department with more data that helps it kind of justify its own efforts to to tell a better story about itself. He pointed out that the list included keywords such as domestic extremism and racist that were purportedly intended to capture tweets about white supremacy. No one is describing themselves as a domestic extremist, Renderos said. Instead you then start filtering in tweets and messages from people who are merely protesting white supremacy. Take these keywords together and what its actually doing is capturing a subset of thought and dissent among people. And thats dangerous. They also worried what an agency like LAPD could ultimately do with such data. I dont trust the Los Angeles police department to use a tool with this amount of data in a way thats responsible, because history has shown us that they cant, said Renderos. LAPD has faced several racial profiling scandals over the years. The Guardian also recently revealed that LAPD was engaging in broad collection of civilians social media data, and had partnered with a different tech firm that claimed its algorithms could identify people who may commit crimes in the future, with criteria that experts said was discriminatory. Those revelations prompted Facebook to demand that LAPD stop collecting data on its platform for surveillance. Activists caught up in the surveillance said they were not surprised. The software flagged tweets by Bree Newsome Bass, who received national attention in 2015 when she climbed a flagpole to remove a confederate flag at the South Carolina statehouse. In a thread included in the files, Newsome Bass advocated for demilitarizing police and putting funding toward mental health first responders. The resistance to defunding police is 100% about racism & normalizing the daily violence police forces inflict on marginalized communities for the benefit of ruling classes, she wrote. Its political targeting, Newsome Bass told the Guardian. Weve seen instance after instance where police agencies are focused more on policing Black people who are demanding equality and civil rights than actually preventing any violence Theyre making the case for defunding the police even further. Theyre using taxpayer dollars to monitor our social media where were talking about how were wasting money on police. Theres nothing violent or criminal about saying defund the police, added Melina Abdullah, co-founder of Black Lives Matter LA. We have a right to say defund the police. The idea that LA is tracking this kind of ideology should be very scary to people. --- kin to all that throbs <cite>Antifar posted [p:960954479] in LAPD colle...
