Surveillance capitalists achieve profits from DerBeobachtung, calculation and influencing of man. DieHarvard Professor ShoshanaZuboff has had term geprägtund primarily a company in mind: Google. Enablesa This form of capitalism is mixed with surveillance state, at Zuboff is rar a side note.
But Dieaustralische government may dafürliefern a prime example. Once again Guardian was told by a request to DemInformationsfreiheitsgesetz, she is considering initiated fee a share of state's face database Zugestatten. Depending on design, this could be a ernsthafteBedrohung for people who value ir anonymity on internet.
Documents from DemJustizministerium describe one for 2018 VorgesehenesPilotprogramm with country's major telecom providers. They could send images of ir new customers to SogenannteBiometric interoperability hub for verification, where y Room of Australian states. The companies would n get a yes or no answer, depending on wher Vonihnen skillful photo shows same person as entsprechendeDatenbankeintrag of government. So you wouldn't get a direktenZugriff on state's data.
"Source of income for furr security initiatives"In addition to Providernzeigen, banks also have great interest in method. It would be eineAlternative to (not always secure) video ident method used in Germany. Customers keep ir ID in front of camera on ir smartphone or laptop and tilt it back and forth to make DieSicherheitsmerkmale visible to company's employee.
About half of Deraustralischen population is already listed in state database, for example with ID or driver's license photos. At least 85 percent will be. For companies that wish to verify Etwabei contracts in this way are Werihre customers, such a coverage would be important.
For this purpose, companies already könnenaustralische databases of Staatesmit to ir customer data. ID, Visa, Führerscheinund or documents – only without photos – stehendafür available. 15.5 million queries recorded in year 2016. "This has given us a regular undwachsende source of income to finance weitereSicherheitsinitiativen," says Unterlagendes Ministry of Justice. An extension to image database "Könnteähnliche benefits".
In or words, government is also funding development of surveillance state by opening its databases to businesses.
Only with consent of usersIn detail, DiePläne are not known yet. It is only clear that teilnehmendenFirmen have to comply with Australian data protection laws, VerbindlicheVerträge with Commonwealth and have to obtain consent IhrerNutzer.
First, civil rights activists undAktivisten fear that companies with system EinenAnreiz get to build ir own image databases, thus collecting even more customer data than before. Secondly, consent DerNutzer to image comparison is no longer voluntary if Sieandernfalls cannot open a bank account or Mobilfunkvertragbekommen. Thirdly, y criticize lack of transparency of Government, which does not even want to tell what kind of a pilot project it is talking to.
