Notes from a panel at CU Boulder SoL

The biggest threat to abolition of the #StalkerState is reform movements who will settle for a kinder, gentler warden/stalker. Most legislative solutions fall into this trap which normalizes surveillance. We should never let the violence of surveillance become normal.

Why I use migration instead of migrants

  • A Puerto Rican entering a US border
  • A black person during the great migrations
  • Natives far from their ancesteral land

If police can't be trusted to respect the integrity of darker bodies, how can they be trusted to respect something as amorphous as data?

What's the danger of surveillance porn?

What does community controll of surveillance look like?

  • Transphobia
  • Jim Crow/lynching
  • Current policing (the culture of snitching/"see something, say something"/the criminal other)

How has enforcement changed?
