Here is the translated text in American English:
As the year progresses, the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) releases a new edition of its publication EFFector, designed to keep readers informed about the most relevant issues in the realm of digital rights. In its edition 37.8, various questions affecting privacy and freedom in the digital age are addressed.
A highlighted aspect of this edition is a recent EFF investigation into police reports generated through artificial intelligence. This analysis raises serious concerns about transparency and accuracy in the use of technology by law enforcement, suggesting that there could be profound implications for civil rights protection. Additionally, a secret agreement is revealed, where data brokers sell information about flight passengers to government agencies, raising alarms about mass surveillance and the commercialization of personal data, calling into question the ethics behind these practices.
Furthermore, the EFF adds that software updates, especially those aimed at automatic license plate readers, are not an effective solution to the structural problem of mass surveillance. In this context, a call to action is made, emphasizing that citizen collaboration is crucial to combating these practices that threaten individual privacy.
To enrich the content, the EFF has launched an audio associated with EFFector where members of the organization discuss actions that citizens can take. In particular, Sarah Hamid, Associate Director of Activism, focuses on the harms caused by automatic license plate readers and strategies to address this issue.
Since its founding in 1990, EFFector has established itself as an essential resource for those interested in the complexities surrounding technology, civil liberties, and human rights. This monthly publication offers a wide range of updates, announcements, and stories that keep readers informed about the movement for online privacy protection and freedom of expression.
The EFF thanks its members and supporters around the world, calling on those who have yet to join the cause to participate in order to promote a safer and brighter digital future.
