Surveillance technology and spyware are being used to target and suppress journalists, dissidents, and human rights advocates everywhere.
Surveillance Watch is an interactive map that documents the hidden connections within the opaque surveillance industry. Founded by privacy advocates, most of whom were personally harmed by surveillance tech, our mission is to shed light on the companies profiting from this exploitation with significant risk to our lives.
By mapping out the intricate web of surveillance companies, their subsidiaries, partners, and financial backers, we hope to expose the enablers fueling this industry’s extensive rights violations, ensuring they cannot evade accountability for being complicit in this abuse.
Surveillance Watch is a community-driven initiative, and we rely on submissions from individuals passionate about protecting privacy and human rights. Acknowledging that we are barely scratching the surface of this industry, our interactive map is just the beginning – we are continuously working to expand this resource to include other information and integrate with existing databases that track this data.
Our right to privacy is non-negotiable, and anyone who threatens it must be held accountable. Support our mission by sharing this map and staying informed.
DESCRIPTION Lavender is an AI system that produces lists of Palestinians to be targeted for assassination by the Israeli military “with little human oversight and a permissive policy for casualties”, according to +972 Magazine.
Big yikes.
Yep, and Google own employees are forbidden to protest of that project, if they wish to keep their job.
Yes, but he raised his voice during a presentation, that’s why he was terminated

“Browser not supported” - weird choice not to support hardened browsers like Librewolf.
I share your sentiment. But from a technical point of view, I can’t fathom interactive maps without javascript, which is typically blocked by hardened browsers. TBF I think their cause would be better served if they open sourced their data so that people could explore them with arbitrary clients.
I had allowed all scripts for that website, still not working.
I see. Do you think it is a honeypot?
Excuse me, what. What is your reasoning behind that question ?
It’s the heavy graphics used which looks like it uses WebGL and this is disabled in LibreWolf since it can easily be used for fingerprinting a user. It would be great if they could not use such heavy graphics if WebGL is not supported and just used simple static image or something like that. Well it would be great in general not just for privacy reasons.
Yes I assumed that WebGL was the culprit :). And I totally agree with you, especially when the content is about surveillance.
