Das Spannende ist aber, mit was für Geheimdienstmethoden Uber da ans Werk gegangen ist.
One technique involved drawing a digital perimeter, or “geofence,” around the government offices on a digital map of a city that Uber was monitoring. The company watched which people were frequently opening and closing the app — a process known internally as eyeballing — near such locations as evidence that the users might be associated with city agencies.Other techniques included looking at a user’s credit card information and determining whether the card was tied directly to an institution like a police credit union.
Enforcement officials involved in large-scale sting operations meant to catch Uber drivers would sometimes buy dozens of cellphones to create different accounts. To circumvent that tactic, Uber employees would go to local electronics stores to look up device numbers of the cheapest mobile phones for sale, which were often the ones bought by city officials working with budgets that were not large.
Das ist schon mal echt krasse Kacke. Und ich finde es bemerkenswert, wie wenig Zeit vergangen ist, bevor die fiesen Überwachungstechniken der Geheimdienste von den Tech-Firmen appropriiert und gegen den Staat angewendet haben.Der einzige Ausweg gegen die Dystopie ist, wenn wir als Menschheit freiwillig auf diesen ganzen Scheiß verzichten. Alle von uns. Auch Polizei, Militär und Dienste.
