Flaw School: Episode 1 Jessenia Class - Suppression by Surveillance

As campus protests swept the nation last spring, invasive surveillance technology put protestors and student organizers in precarious positions. Through targeted fear-mongering, tech surveillance companies changed cities’ and university’s perceptions of activism. From racially-biased facial recognition to predatory cell towers, corporations stripped protestors of constitutionally protected speech and manifestations of democracy for profit. In this episode, Jessenia Class joins Sam Perri and Reya Singh to break down protest suppression tactics, corporations’ tactics for dodging accountability, and the importance of storytelling as a pathway to justice.
