activistpost--2020-06-14--The Bohemian Club and the New Manhattan Project

It ’ s that time of year again !
As the summer solstice approaches , the members of San Francisco ’ s exclusive Bohemian Club get ready for their big , annual get-together along the banks of the Russian River in Sonoma County , CA .
Their annual retreat is held at their Bohemian Grove – also known simply as ‘ The Grove.
’ What exactly it is that they do up there remains largely a matter of hearsay and speculation .
We do know that some of the most powerful people in the world attend and that senior Grovers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ burn the effigy of a child in front of a huge stone owl .
That much is well documented .
The focus of this article is actually not about any carnal behavior going on at the Bohemian Grove .
Rather , this article is about the Bohemian Club ’ s connections to the biggest scientific effort in history – an effort your author refers to as the New Manhattan Project .
To learn all about it , please refer to the greatly revised and expanded second edition of the author ’ s book @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Hint : part of the New Manhattan Project involves the aerial spraying of tens of thousands of megatons of toxic waste ANNUALLY .
The Bohemian Club is an exclusive , all-male club based in San Francisco , CA .
Their headquarters are a big , old brick building on the corner of Post and Taylor Streets in the Union Square/Nob Hill area .
Every year around the June summer solstice , Bohemian Club members visit their Bohemian Grove for a couple weeks of festivities centered around a torch-lit , occult ritual known @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the mock-sacrifice of a child in front of a giant stone owl performed by men in hooded robes .
The Bohemian Club is firmly hooked into the old boy network .
In fact , it is the author ’ s humble opinion that , short of the Vatican , the Bohemian Club is the most powerful organization in the Western world ; not because of the power that the organization itself wields , but rather because of the power of the ideas and collaborations that are generated there – particularly the ideas and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ annual meeting held at their Bohemian Grove .
The Bohemian Grove is a summer camp for some of the world ’ s most famous and powerful men .
As the crow flies , the Bohemian Grove is located about 50 miles NNW of San Francisco , CA .
People need to be members or friends of members of the Bohemian Club to enter .
Over the years , many people associated with the New Manhattan Project have gone there .
We will now go over the documented connections between the Bohemian Club and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ early 1900s , Sweden ’ s most famous scientist Svante Arrhenius ( 1859-1927 ) visited the Bohemian Club headquarters as well as the Grove .
He was invited there by a UC Berkeley botanist named Winthrop Osterhout ( 1871-1964 ) .
This is important because it was Arrhenius who first formulated the theory of man-made global warming , which has been used as a reason to propel the New Manhattan Project throughout the decades .

There is a certain organization in particular that has a multitude of connections to the New Manhattan Project as well as to the Bohemian Club .
That organization is Stanford Research International ( SRI ) .
Let ’ s take @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
The deep connections between SRI and the Bohemian Club are detailed in Mike Hanson ’ s 2012 book Bohemian Grove : Cult of Conspiracy .
Hanson was one of the two people to ever successfully infiltrate the Bohemian Grove , videotape their sacred Cremation of Care , and exfiltrate .
Hanson writes : The former Stanford Research Institute , Stanford Research International has been deeply involved in weather modification and the atmospheric sciences for a long time .
Specifically , they have been very active in the areas of satellites and ionospheric @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the New Manhattan Project .
Early on , a famous SRI scientist distinguished himself as particularly notable to our investigation .
Oswald Villard , Jr. ( 1916-2004 ) , also known as ‘ The Father of Over-the-Horizon Radar , ’ directed Stanford ’ s RadioScience Laboratory from 1958 to 1972 .
The RadioScience Lab was the predecessor to today ’ s Stanford Space , Telecommunications and Radioscience Laboratory or ‘ STARLab ’ where they continue ionospheric research with VLF ( very low-frequency ) waves .
Villard ’ s work on over-the-horizon radar @ @ @ @ @ @ @ clear that his work had potential defense applications , it was transferred to the nearby Stanford Research Institute .
Over-the-horizon ( OTH ) radar is significant to our investigation because it was the predecessor to today ’ s ionospheric heaters which generate powerful electromagnetic signals to modify the weather .
Ionospheric heaters can also produce signals that have a tremendous impact upon our moods , thoughts , and bodily functions .
Villard was a member of the Air Force Scientific Advisory Board from 1961 to 1975 .
He was also a member of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ) which he chaired from 1973 to 1975 .
Following their pioneering OTH work , SRI and Villard became involved in the subsequent and directly relevant field of ionospheric heater research .
SRI has been particularly active at Poker Flat , Alaska – the site of lots of early ionospheric heater research .
They have also been deeply involved with the Arecibo ionospheric heater in Puerto Rico .
In the mid-to-late 1960s , an early ionospheric heater known as the Chatanika Radar was built and tested on the campus of Stanford University in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ International .
The Chatanika Radar was then moved to Poker Flat and operated there from 1971 to 1982 .
By 1974 the powerful ionospheric heater at Arecibo , Puerto Rico was operational .
SRI has contributed to its operations since the beginning .
In 2011 Stanford Research Institute International and their Center for GeoSpace Studies were selected by the National Science Foundation to run the Arecibo ionospheric heater .
SRI has also been deeply involved with the High-frequency Active Auroral Research Project ( HAARP ) in Alaska .
In the early 1970s , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the headquarters of SRI in Menlo Park , CA .
SRI has contracted with Jason extensively and the Jason group is heavily implicated in the New Manhattan Project It is also of note to our discussion that SRI has been active in the area of atmospheric tracers .

SRI
There is a certain organization in particular that has a multitude of connections to the New Manhattan Project as well as to the Bohemian Club. That organization is Stanford Research International (SRI). Let’s take a good, long look at them. The deep connections between SRI and the Bohemian Club are detailed in Mike Hanson’s 2012 book Bohemian Grove: Cult of Conspiracy. Hanson was one of the two people to ever successfully infiltrate the Bohemian Grove, videotape their sacred Cremation of Care, and exfiltrate. Hanson writes:
An earlier example of a national research/policy institute formed through connections within the Bohemian Club was the Stanford Research Institute (S.R.I.). S.R.I. was originally organized at the Bohemian Grove in 1945 at a meeting in the Semper Virens Camp. Three Bohemians had discussed the idea for S.R.I. for several years: Robert Swain [1875-1961], Philip Leighton [1897-1983], and Dudley Swim, who had frequently used the Grove as a place for conversation on the idea. S.R.I. is literally a sub-camp of the Bohemian Club with eleven Club members serving on S.R.I.’s Board for the past quarter century.”
The former Stanford Research Institute, Stanford Research International has been deeply involved in weather modification and the atmospheric sciences for a long time. Specifically, they have been very active in the areas of satellites and ionospheric heaters which both play a crucial role in the New Manhattan Project.
Early on, a famous SRI scientist distinguished himself as particularly notable to our investigation. Oswald Villard, Jr. (1916-2004), also known as ‘The Father of Over-the-Horizon Radar,’ directed Stanford’s RadioScience Laboratory from 1958 to 1972.

Ionospheric heaters can also produce signals that have a tremendous impact upon our moods, thoughts, and bodily functions. Villard was a member of the Air Force Scientific Advisory Board from 1961 to 1975. He was also a member of the Naval Research Advisory Committee (1967-1975) which he chaired from 1973 to 1975.
Following their pioneering OTH work, SRI and Villard became involved in the subsequent and directly relevant field of ionospheric heater research. SRI has been particularly active at Poker Flat, Alaska – the site of lots of early ionospheric heater research. They have also been deeply involved with the Arecibo ionospheric heater in Puerto Rico.
In the mid-to-late 1960s, an early ionospheric heater known as the Chatanika Radar was built and tested on the campus of Stanford University in Palo Alto, California by Stanford Research International. The Chatanika Radar was then moved to Poker Flat and operated there from 1971 to 1982.

They will use frequencies from 10.7 GHz to 86 GHz .
They will aim focused beams that will cover the Earth in a mosaic of overlapping cells , each cell being about 8 kilometers in diameter .

activistpost--2020-06-15--Clearview AI May Be Illegal In EU Watchdog Says

The European Data Protection Board ( EDPB ) said that the use of Clearview artificial intelligence by law enforcement would “ likely not be consistent with the EU data protection regime.
” The board added that it “ has doubts as to whether any Union or Member State law provides a legal basis for using a service such as the one offered by Clearview AI.
” The statement comes amid growing concerns around potential misuses of facial recognition technology like Clearview , which matches faces to billions of photos the software scrapes from websites , The Next Web reported .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ erupted due to police brutality and racial inequality have already led Amazon to pause police use of facial recognition for a year , and IBM and Microsoft to stop offering the software entirely until there is regulation framework by Congress , VOX reported .
But Clearview has thus far refused to follow the trend ( likely because that is its whole business model ) .
“ We are very encouraged that our technology has proven accurate in the field and has helped prevent the wrongful identification of people of color , ” Clearview @ @ @ @ @ @ @ interview .
Activist Post recently discussed Clearview AI in an article about the rise of facial recognition technology amid the CV pandemic .
Clearview AI has developed an app which allows anyone to snap a picture of someone which is then compared to a database of more than 3 billion photos that the company has scraped off Facebook , Venmo , YouTube and other sites , before serving up matches along with links to the sites where the database photos originally appeared .
It turns out we were right , a Twitter feed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ revealed how police are using contact tracing to identify and arrest protesters .
“ Minnesota Public Safety Commissioner John Harrington says they ’ ve begun contact tracing arrestees.
” Become an Activist Post Patron for $ 1 per month at Patreon .
Minneapolis police and the Minnesota Fusion Center are also using Clearview AI , BriefCam , Ring doorbell cameras , Axon police body cameras , ShotSpotter and license plate readers to create an intimate view of people ’ s lives .
Recently , 100 human rights groups warned that an Apple/Google contact @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cover to identify activists and minorities .
As NBC News noted , contact tracers also use geofencing to help identify protesters .
You may remember that Clearview AI had its entire client list stolen earlier this year .
Clearview AI has partnered with law enforcement agencies around the country ; however , it was unknown exactly how many or who they were .
That may not be the case for much longer , after an intruder “ gained unauthorized access ” to its customer list – along with data on the number of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ well as how many user accounts have been set up , according to the Daily Beast .
The company has raised concerns among privacy advocates after a New York Times article described their work with law enforcement agencies , with over 40 organizations signing a letter calling for an independent watchdog to recommend a ban on government use of facial recognition technology .
In total , governments in at least 25 countries are employing vast programs for — mobile data tracking , apps to record personal contact with others , CCTV networks equipped @ @ @ @ @ @ @ go outside and drones to enforce social isolation regimes , according to The Guardian .
Fortunately for us , there is a little hope as Congress recently demanded that Amazon disclose how its Ring service stores data , while other lawmakers have called for a halt of rolling out facial recognition technology altogether , Activist Post reported .
Last year , legislators called for putting a “ time out ” on facial recognition technology until regulations are in place .
So far , Congress has held two oversight hearings on the topic and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the works to limit the technology .
On top of that , some cities in the U.S. have outright banned the biometric technology like San Francisco , Somerville , Massachusetts , and Oakland , California , as Activist Post reported .
The rapid growth of this technology has triggered a much-needed debate to slow down the rollout .
Activists , politicians , academics and even police forces all over the world are expressing serious concerns over the impact facial recognition could have on our society .
Although , that debate might be voided @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of opportunity for Orwellian technology to become permanently embedded in our lives .
The battle isn ’ t over yet , though ; in fact , the American Civil Liberties Union ( ACLU ) recently filed a lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security ( DHS ) over its use of facial recognition technology in airports .

The statement comes amid growing concerns around potential misuses of facial recognition technology like Clearview, which matches faces to billions of photos the software scrapes from websites, The Next Web reported.
The protests across the world that have erupted due to police brutality and racial inequality have already led Amazon to pause police use of facial recognition for a year, and IBM and Microsoft to stop offering the software entirely until there is regulation framework by Congress, VOX reported. But Clearview has thus far refused to follow the trend (likely because that is its whole business model).
“We are very encouraged that our technology has proven accurate in the field and has helped prevent the wrongful identification of people of color,” Clearview CEO Hoan Ton-That said in a recent interview.
Activist Post recently discussed Clearview AI in an article about the rise of facial recognition technology amid the CV pandemic.
Clearview AI has developed an app which allows anyone to snap a picture of someone which is then compared to a database of more than 3 billion photos that the company has scraped off Facebook, Venmo, YouTube and other sites, before serving up matches along with links to the sites where the database photos originally appeared.
It turns out we were right, a Twitter feed titled “Minnesota Contact Tracing” recently revealed how police are using contact tracing to identify and arrest protesters. “Minnesota Public Safety Commissioner John Harrington says they’ve begun contact tracing arrestees.”

Minneapolis police and the Minnesota Fusion Center are also using Clearview AI, BriefCam, Ring doorbell cameras, Axon police body cameras, ShotSpotter and license plate readers to create an intimate view of people’s lives.
Recently, 100 human rights groups warned that an Apple/Google contact tracing app could be used as a cover to identify activists and minorities.
An increase in state digital surveillance powers, such as obtaining access to mobile phone location data, threatens privacy, freedom of expression and freedom of association, in ways that could violate rights and degrade trust in public authorities—undermining the effectiveness of any public health response. Such measures also pose a risk of discrimination and may disproportionately harm already marginalized communities.
As NBC News noted, contact tracers also use geofencing to help identify protesters.
“Geofencing” captures the social media posts of people entering a specific area. The technology locates any cellphones that cross into the area by locking onto their geolocation systems, and then records social media posts and sometimes other data from the phones.
You may remember that Clearview AI had its entire client list stolen earlier this year.
Clearview AI has partnered with law enforcement agencies around the country; however, it was unknown exactly how many or who they were. That may not be the case for much longer, after an intruder “gained unauthorized access” to its customer list – along with data on the number of searches its customers have conducted, as well as how many user accounts have been set up, according to the Daily Beast.
The company has raised concerns among privacy advocates after a New York Times article described their work with law enforcement agencies, with over 40 organizations signing a letter calling for an independent watchdog to recommend a ban on government use of facial recognition technology.
In total, governments in at least 25 countries are employing vast programs for — mobile data tracking, apps to record personal contact with others, CCTV networks equipped with facial recognition, permission schemes to go outside and drones to enforce social isolation regimes, according to The Guardian.
Fortunately for us, there is a little hope as Congress recently demanded that Amazon disclose how its Ring service stores data, while other lawmakers have called for a halt of rolling out facial recognition technology altogether, Activist Post reported.
Last year, legislators called for putting a “time out” on facial recognition technology until regulations are in place. So far, Congress has held two oversight hearings on the topic and there are at least four bills in the works to limit the technology.
On top of that, some cities in the U.S. have outright banned the biometric technology like San Francisco, Somerville, Massachusetts, and Oakland, California, as Activist Post reported.
The rapid growth of this technology has triggered a much-needed debate to slow down the rollout. Activists, politicians, academics and even police forces all over the world are expressing serious concerns over the impact facial recognition could have on our society.
Although, that debate might be voided with the CV pandemic providing a window of opportunity for Orwellian technology to become permanently embedded in our lives. The battle isn’t over yet, though; in fact, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) recently filed a lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) over its use of facial recognition technology in airports.

Common Source of Wireless “WiFi” Radiation Affects Human Cells – Especially Kids – Korean Gov’t Study

activistpost--2020-06-16--Bracelets, Beacons, Barcodes: Wearables in the Global Response to COVID-19

In their efforts to contain the spread of the pandemic , governments around the world are rolling out body-worn devices ( “ wearables ” ) to assist in fighting the virus .
Some governments want a technological silver bullet to solve the public health crisis .
But many of the tools aimed at solving problems come with a host of other problems that will undermine the public health goals for which they are adopted , and create new unintended consequences for privacy , association , and freedom of expression .
These electronic devices are usually worn on the wrist or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by the government or voluntary ( although users don ’ t always understand exactly what it is they ’ re being asked to wear ) .
We might tend to associate the idea of a “ wearable ” with either a smartwatch or an ankle monitor , but governments are also using wrist-worn “ bracelets ” for a broad range of different purposes amid the COVID-19 pandemic .
Wearables may use an electronic sensor to collect health information from the wearer ( by measuring vital signs ) and act as an early warning @ @ @ @ @ @ @ show any symptoms .
They can also be used to detect or log people ’ s proximity to one another ( to enforce social distancing ) or between a person ’ s bracelet and that person ’ s own mobile phone or a stationary home beacon ( to enforce home quarantine ) .
For quarantine enforcement , the devices might also use a GPS receiver to inform authorities of the wearer ’ s location .
Some use Bluetooth radio beacons to let authorities confirm when the wearer is within range of a phone @ @ @ @ @ @ @ app ( rather than leaving the phone at home and going outside in violation of a health order ) .
And some may be low-tech wristbands that are no more than a piece of paper with a QR code , which authorities may regularly ask the user to photograph with a mobile app ( among other uses of photo demands for quarantine enforcement ) .
Like other technologies deployed for pandemic-related tasks , they vary along several dimensions , including whether they are voluntary and/or under control of the user , and whether @ @ @ @ @ @ @ person is doing what the state told them to do , or merely to provide the user with health information to assist the user ’ s decision-making .
Some impose significant privacy risks .
And , particularly because of the haste with which they ’ ve been deployed , they also vary in terms of their apparent suitability for their purpose .
Here , we will highlight a range of devices that different governments are currently asking or telling people to put on their wrists or ankles to fight the pandemic .
In @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a medical study called “ COVI-GAPP ” by the Swiss medical testing firm Labormedizinisches Zentrum Dr. Risch .
In this voluntary trial , 2,200 persons ( about 5 % of tiny Liechtenstein ’ s population ) are being given “ Ava ” -brand bracelets to determine whether these wearables can identify COVID-19 pre-symptomatic cases ( i.e .
before the patient shows any symptoms ) .
The bracelets , which were supplied by Swiss fertility start-up Ava , are worn at night and record biometric data such as movements , body temperature , blood @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
The clinical trial will study the biometric data to see whether an algorithm can spot indicators that a person might have developed COVID-19 symptoms—increased temperature , shortness of breath and cough—even before patients notice these themselves .
Participation in the clinical trial is voluntary , and the collected data is pseudonymized .
Become an Activist Post Patron for $ 1 per month at Patreon .
The collected data is still subject to Europe ’ s General Data Protection Regulation ( GDPR ) , which applies in Liechtenstein .
As a general rule @ @ @ @ @ @ @ strictly prohibited for the purpose of uniquely identifying a person , unless the person gives explicit consent to such processing .
While the study is government-funded , the Principality stated that it does not have access to the research data .
We should be careful not to lose sight of or take shortcuts on data protection principles for biometric data , such as express consent , data minimization , transparency , and security .
Personal medical data gathered from wearables and machine learning should be used in a way that patients can understand @ @ @ @ @ @ @ deleted when it is no longer needed .
Many employers are showing interest in making their staff wear electronic bracelets in the workplace , often to mitigate risks by enforcing social distancing rules .
The port of Antwerp , Belgium , has started to use wristbands to enforce social distancing rules on the workfloor , requiring a specific minimum distance between any two workers .
The wearables , supplied by the Dutch company Rombit , are equipped with Bluetooth and ultra-wideband technology and give off warning signals when workers come within a specified @ @ @ @ @ @ @ social distancing is not the only functionality of the bracelet : as the wristbands are Bluetooth-enabled , they also allow for contact tracing , with all personal data collected for that purpose centrally stored at Rombit ’ s servers .
As employers ’ surveillance of workers has become increasingly widespread , records of worker-to-worker interactions could be abused for many purposes , like union busting .
It can also be used for other purposes like surveilling workers to reduce “ unplanned downtime ” .
While wearing tracking bracelets at the workplace might not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ places , it is more than questionable whether workers—with their livelihoods at stake—can exercise real choice when their employer tells them to strap it on .
Under the GDPR , consent can ’ t be freely given if there is a clear imbalance between the data subject and the data controller .
In other words , consent can ’ t be a valid legal ground to process the data when the employee has no real choice , feels compelled to consent , or will endure negative consequences if they do not consent .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ tracking apps .
Now such automated tracking might be migrating from phone apps to wearable devices .
Reuters reported that the Singaporean government is switching its centralized contact tracing technology focus away from its existing TraceTogether smartphone app ( which uses Bluetooth to detect and log close proximity of other smartphones ) .
Instead , that nation will deploy a new centralized TraceTogether Token standalone wearable device , which the government plans to eventually distribute to all 5.7 million Singapore residents .
While the TraceTogether Token uses a broadly similar technology to the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on participants to own or carry a smartphone .
Like the app , the new token will trace proximity between users ( not location ) .
According to MobiHealth News , only users who test positive for COVID will be told to hand their wearable to the Ministry of Health in order to upload data to a centralized server about who they have been in contact with .
EFF objects to such centralized approaches to automated contact tracing , whether by means of a phone app or a wearable device .
Further details @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are scarce .
Press reports did not initially confirm if the wearable tokens will interoperate with the mobile TraceTogether app .
If they do , which seems likely , the government will continue to collect a great deal of sensitive data about interpersonal associations , and regularly upload that information to a centralized government server .
The centralized TraceTogether mobile app collects data that links device IDs to real contact information like phone numbers , which means the government can use it to determine which individuals have come into contact with one another @ @ @ @ @ @ @ decentralized exposure notification systems like Apple and Google ’ s API , where those who have been exposed to an infected person get only a notification but their personally identifying data never leaves the infected persons ’ device .
There is no centralized server where people upload the data .
EFF opposes the centralization feature of the Singaporean mobile app , and will likewise oppose this same feature if it is part of the new wearable token system .
Since the token will be a single-purpose device , users may not have the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ works .
App users can always turn off Bluetooth on their phone , but they may not be able to stop a wristband from broadcasting or collecting data .
Finally , a weakness of app-based exposure notification systems is that many people do not own a smartphone , especially in rural areas .
Allowing users to decide whether to use a wearable token or a mobile app ( or to use neither ) might improve participation rates .
But these systems remain an unproven technology that might do little to contain the virus @ @ @ @ @ @ @ supplement to primary public health measures like widespread testing and manual contact tracing .
And everyone should have the right not to wear a tracking token , and to take it off whenever they wish .
Mandatory Apps and Wearables to Monitor Patients Under Quarantine Orders Some countries have started to make tracking wristbands or apps a mandatory element of their efforts to enforce quarantine orders of persons who are or might be infected with COVID-19 .
EFF opposes such coercive surveillance based solely on infection .
In Bahrain , persons in medical @ @ @ @ @ @ @ contact tracing app “ BeAware , ” turn on Bluetooth , keep their Internet on , and set their quarantine location .
They are also compelled to wear GPS-enabled bracelets that track their whereabouts and connect it to the app .
iPhone users are obliged to turn on the “ allow access to the app ” setting to “ always allow.
” If this system shows the bracelet is 15 meters away from the phone , it sends a notification to the government ’ s monitoring station .
In addition , the government @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the patient , clearly depicting both the isolating person ’ s face and bracelet in the same image .
Attempts to remove or tamper with the electronic bracelet can result in steep fines and imprisonment for not less than three months .
Similarly , Kuwait requires individuals returning home from abroad to wear tracking bracelets .
Linked with the country ’ s official contact tracing app , Shlonik , the bracelets notify health officials when individuals subject to isolation orders appear to break quarantine .
Kuwait ’ s app was developed by Zain @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 2016 , Zain worked with Kuwait ’ s Ministry of Awqaf & Islamic Affairs to deploy wristbands and SIM cards to monitor the locations of 8,000 Kuwaiti Hajj pilgrims during the annual pilgrimage to Mecca .
Like in Bahrain , use of the new bracelet is enforced through selfie requests , and violators risk being transferred to a governmental quarantine facility , as well as other legal actions .
As we have previously said , forcing people to download and use an app significantly undermines their ability to control their phone and the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s right to informational self-determination .
Governments should not force people to hand over control of their phones and data .
Also , mandating the use of an app risks introducing significant security vulnerabilities and further harming people ’ s privacy and data security .
Further , a punitive approach to containment can break people ’ s trust and thereby undermine public health .
For example , people may avoid testing if they fear the consequences of a positive test result .
Some governments are turning to electronic ankle shackles , including Australia @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
These devices are commonly used to monitor individuals considered to be dangerous and/or a flight risk both pre-trial and during parole or probation .
They have been repurposed for quarantine enforcement .
In Western Australia , under the state ’ s COVID-19 response act , the police acquired 200 GPS-enabled ankle bracelets .
Individuals who fail to comply with quarantine orders can be equipped with one of the bracelets .
Penalties for failing to comply with orders to wear the shackles , or attempting to tamper with them , can lead to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fines or more than 10,000AU $ , or approximately 6,981 US dollars .
Courts in Kentucky and West Virginia have mandated electronic ankle shackles for individuals who refused to submit to quarantine procedures after testing positive for COVID-19 .
Like in Australia , the shackles are using GPS technology to locate individuals .
GPS ankle shackles raise a series of concerns .
They are a grave intrusion in persons ’ privacy and personal freedom .
Often , they are uncomfortable , restrict a person ’ s range of motion , and must be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wear them .
This surveillance to enforce quarantine is not justified merely because a person tested positive or are deemed to have an elevated infection risk .
Hong Kong uses yet another category of bracelets to enforce quarantine orders .
Individuals undergoing 14-day home quarantine procedures , such as arrivals from overseas , are given bracelets with a unique QR code .
Users register their bracelet with Hong Kong ’ s official COVID-19 tracing app .
The app prompts the owner of the phone to walk the perimeter of their apartment , assembling @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the various wifi , Bluetooth , and other signals detectable in the home .
If they move the phone outside of that “ geofenced ” perimeter , they trigger a warning sound that can only be stopped by scanning the QR codes of every household member ’ s wristband .
Bracelet-wearers are also expected to scan the codes regularly with a phone .
Punishments for not complying can be harsh and may lead to six months in jail time as well as fines .
Some technologically more advanced bracelets have been deployed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Similar QR code bracelets are reported to be used in Malaysia .
The most-used form of the bracelet seems to be little more than a piece of paper with a QR code .
These low-tech wristbands are an interesting case since the QR code itself is an easily copyable image and does not incorporate any electronics at all .
This might seem comparatively benign when viewed against the backdrop of more technologically intrusive alternatives .
But even a low-tech , non-electronic bracelet with a unique code can play a significant role in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and normalized .
All of these surveillance technologies , like many other COVID-19 mitigations , are being rolled out rapidly amidst the crisis .
While proponents may feel that they are taking an urgently needed step , governments must begin by showing the efficacy of each technology .
They also must address the kinds of digital rights concerns raised by EFF on related topics such as proximity apps and patients ’ right to privacy against quarantine enforcement .
Intrusive monitoring tools adopted now may further normalize the surveillance of individuals by governments and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ governments rarely “ waste a good crisis , ” and tend to hold on to the new powers they seized to address the emergency situation .
They can also introduce a variety of serious privacy and security risks to individuals that may be forced to wear COVID-19 surveillance tech .
Beyond the immediate risks , it is crucial to also consider the long-term effects of tracking bracelets , including their cultural effects .
It should not feel normal to be tracked everywhere or to have to prove your location .

Like other technologies deployed for pandemic-related tasks, they vary along several dimensions, including whether they are voluntary and/or under control of the user, and whether they are used to surveil whether a person is doing what the state told them to do, or merely to provide the user with health information to assist the user’s decision-making. Some impose significant privacy risks. And, particularly because of the haste with which they’ve been deployed, they also vary in terms of their apparent suitability for their purpose.
Here, we will highlight a range of devices that different governments are currently asking or telling people to put on their wrists or ankles to fight the pandemic.
Early Warning System to Identify COVID-19 Patients
In Liechtenstein, the Principality is financially supporting a medical study called “COVI-GAPP” by the Swiss medical testing firm Labormedizinisches Zentrum Dr. Risch. In this voluntary trial, 2,200 persons (about 5% of tiny Liechtenstein’s population) are being given “Ava”-brand bracelets to determine whether these wearables can identify COVID-19 pre-symptomatic cases (i.e. before the patient shows any symptoms). The bracelets, which were supplied by Swiss fertility start-up Ava, are worn at night and record biometric data such as movements, body temperature, blood flow, breath, and pulse rate. The clinical trial will study the biometric data to see whether an algorithm can spot indicators that a person might have developed COVID-19 symptoms—increased temperature, shortness of breath and cough—even before patients notice these themselves. Participation in the clinical trial is voluntary, and the collected data is pseudonymized.

The collected data is still subject to Europe’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which applies in Liechtenstein. As a general rule, the processing of biometric data is strictly prohibited for the purpose of uniquely identifying a person, unless the person gives explicit consent to such processing. While the study is government-funded, the Principality stated that it does not have access to the research data. We should be careful not to lose sight of or take shortcuts on data protection principles for biometric data, such as express consent, data minimization, transparency, and security. Personal medical data gathered from wearables and machine learning should be used in a way that patients can understand and agree to, and should be deleted when it is no longer needed.
Workplace Monitoring of Social Distancing
Many employers are showing interest in making their staff wear electronic bracelets in the workplace, often to mitigate risks by enforcing social distancing rules.
The port of Antwerp, Belgium, has started to use wristbands to enforce social distancing rules on the workfloor, requiring a specific minimum distance between any two workers. The wearables, supplied by the Dutch company Rombit, are equipped with Bluetooth and ultra-wideband technology and give off warning signals when workers come within a specified distance from each other.
But enforcing social distancing is not the only functionality of the bracelet: as the wristbands are Bluetooth-enabled, they also allow for contact tracing, with all personal data collected for that purpose centrally stored at Rombit’s servers. As employers’ surveillance of workers has become increasingly widespread, records of worker-to-worker interactions could be abused for many purposes, like union busting. It can also be used for other purposes like surveilling workers to reduce “unplanned downtime”.
While wearing tracking bracelets at the workplace might not (yet) be mandatory in most places, it is more than questionable whether workers—with their livelihoods at stake—can exercise real choice when their employer tells them to strap it on. Under the GDPR, consent can’t be freely given if there is a clear imbalance between the data subject and the data controller. In other words, consent can’t be a valid legal ground to process the data when the employee has no real choice, feels compelled to consent, or will endure negative consequences if they do not consent.
Wearable Device Proximity Tracking
EFF is wary about mobile-based Bluetooth-based proximity tracking apps. Now such automated tracking might be migrating from phone apps to wearable devices. Reuters reported that the Singaporean government is switching its centralized contact tracing technology focus away from its existing TraceTogether smartphone app (which uses Bluetooth to detect and log close proximity of other smartphones). Instead, that nation will deploy a new centralized TraceTogether Token standalone wearable device, which the government plans to eventually distribute to all 5.7 million Singapore residents. While the TraceTogether Token uses a broadly similar technology to the TraceTogether app, it will not rely on participants to own or carry a smartphone. Like the app, the new token will trace proximity between users (not location).
According to MobiHealth News, only users who test positive for COVID will be told to hand their wearable to the Ministry of Health in order to upload data to a centralized server about who they have been in contact with. EFF objects to such centralized approaches to automated contact tracing, whether by means of a phone app or a wearable device. Further details about how the Singaporean device will work are scarce. Press reports did not initially confirm if the wearable tokens will interoperate with the mobile TraceTogether app. If they do, which seems likely, the government will continue to collect a great deal of sensitive data about interpersonal associations, and regularly upload that information to a centralized government server.
The centralized TraceTogether mobile app collects data that links device IDs to real contact information like phone numbers, which means the government can use it to determine which individuals have come into contact with one another. This makes TraceTogether app incompatible with decentralized exposure notification systems like Apple and Google’s API, where those who have been exposed to an infected person get only a notification but their personally identifying data never leaves the infected persons’ device. There is no centralized server where people upload the data. EFF opposes the centralization feature of the Singaporean mobile app, and will likewise oppose this same feature if it is part of the new wearable token system.
Since the token will be a single-purpose device, users may not have the same amount of control over how it works. App users can always turn off Bluetooth on their phone, but they may not be able to stop a wristband from broadcasting or collecting data.
Finally, a weakness of app-based exposure notification systems is that many people do not own a smartphone, especially in rural areas. Allowing users to decide whether to use a wearable token or a mobile app (or to use neither) might improve participation rates. But these systems remain an unproven technology that might do little to contain the virus, and should at most be a supplement to primary public health measures like widespread testing and manual contact tracing. And everyone should have the right not to wear a tracking token, and to take it off whenever they wish.
Mandatory Apps and Wearables to Monitor Patients Under Quarantine Orders
Some countries have started to make tracking wristbands or apps a mandatory element of their efforts to enforce quarantine orders of persons who are or might be infected with COVID-19. EFF opposes such coercive surveillance based solely on infection. In Bahrain, persons in medical isolation are compelled to download the government-mandated contact tracing app “BeAware,” turn on Bluetooth, keep their Internet on, and set their quarantine location. They are also compelled to wear GPS-enabled bracelets that track their whereabouts and connect it to the app. iPhone users are obliged to turn on the “allow access to the app” setting to “always allow.” If this system shows the bracelet is 15 meters away from the phone, it sends a notification to the government’s monitoring station. In addition, the government can request selfies at any time from the patient, clearly depicting both the isolating person’s face and bracelet in the same image. Attempts to remove or tamper with the electronic bracelet can result in steep fines and imprisonment for not less than three months.
Similarly, Kuwait requires individuals returning home from abroad to wear tracking bracelets. Linked with the country’s official contact tracing app, Shlonik, the bracelets notify health officials when individuals subject to isolation orders appear to break quarantine. Kuwait’s app was developed by Zain, a Kuwaiti telecommunications giant. In 2016, Zain worked with Kuwait’s Ministry of Awqaf & Islamic Affairs to deploy wristbands and SIM cards to monitor the locations of 8,000 Kuwaiti Hajj pilgrims during the annual pilgrimage to Mecca. Like in Bahrain, use of the new bracelet is enforced through selfie requests, and violators risk being transferred to a governmental quarantine facility, as well as other legal actions.
As we have previously said, forcing people to download and use an app significantly undermines their ability to control their phone and the data they share, undermining people’s right to informational self-determination. Governments should not force people to hand over control of their phones and data. Also, mandating the use of an app risks introducing significant security vulnerabilities and further harming people’s privacy and data security. Further, a punitive approach to containment can break people’s trust and thereby undermine public health. For example, people may avoid testing if they fear the consequences of a positive test result.
Some governments are turning to electronic ankle shackles, including Australia and two states in the United States. These devices are commonly used to monitor individuals considered to be dangerous and/or a flight risk both pre-trial and during parole or probation. They have been repurposed for quarantine enforcement.
In Western Australia, under the state’s COVID-19 response act, the police acquired 200 GPS-enabled ankle bracelets. Individuals who fail to comply with quarantine orders can be equipped with one of the bracelets. Penalties for failing to comply with orders to wear the shackles, or attempting to tamper with them, can lead to up to 12 months in jail and fines or more than 10,000AU$, or approximately 6,981 US dollars.
Courts in Kentucky and West Virginia have mandated electronic ankle shackles for individuals who refused to submit to quarantine procedures after testing positive for COVID-19. Like in Australia, the shackles are using GPS technology to locate individuals.
GPS ankle shackles raise a series of concerns. They are a grave intrusion in persons’ privacy and personal freedom. Often, they are uncomfortable, restrict a person’s range of motion, and must be paid for by the person forced to wear them. This surveillance to enforce quarantine is not justified merely because a person tested positive or are deemed to have an elevated infection risk.
Low-Tech Bracelets for Quarantine Enforcement
Hong Kong uses yet another category of bracelets to enforce quarantine orders. Individuals undergoing 14-day home quarantine procedures, such as arrivals from overseas, are given bracelets with a unique QR code. Users register their bracelet with Hong Kong’s official COVID-19 tracing app. The app prompts the owner of the phone to walk the perimeter of their apartment, assembling a unique “signature” made up of the various wifi, Bluetooth, and other signals detectable in the home. If they move the phone outside of that “geofenced” perimeter, they trigger a warning sound that can only be stopped by scanning the QR codes of every household member’s wristband. Bracelet-wearers are also expected to scan the codes regularly with a phone. Punishments for not complying can be harsh and may lead to six months in jail time as well as fines. Some technologically more advanced bracelets have been deployed on a smaller scale in Hong Kong. Similar QR code bracelets are reported to be used in Malaysia.
The most-used form of the bracelet seems to be little more than a piece of paper with a QR code. These low-tech wristbands are an interesting case since the QR code itself is an easily copyable image and does not incorporate any electronics at all. This might seem comparatively benign when viewed against the backdrop of more technologically intrusive alternatives. But even a low-tech, non-electronic bracelet with a unique code can play a significant role in making new kinds of surveillance feel familiar and normalized.
Conclusion
All of these surveillance technologies, like many other COVID-19 mitigations, are being rolled out rapidly amidst the crisis. While proponents may feel that they are taking an urgently needed step, governments must begin by showing the efficacy of each technology. They also must address the kinds of digital rights concerns raised by EFF on related topics such as proximity apps and patients’ right to privacy against quarantine enforcement. Intrusive monitoring tools adopted now may further normalize the surveillance of individuals by governments and private entities alike. History shows that governments rarely “waste a good crisis,” and tend to hold on to the new powers they seized to address the emergency situation. They can also introduce a variety of serious privacy and security risks to individuals that may be forced to wear COVID-19 surveillance tech. Beyond the immediate risks, it is crucial to also consider the long-term effects of tracking bracelets, including their cultural effects. It should not feel normal to be tracked everywhere or to have to prove your location.

5G opposition is worldwide. Cities AND countries continue taking action against deployment. This includes delaying and halting installation as well as issuing moratoriums (see 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. 9, 10). Investigate Europe has been covering this extensively.
Thanks to Environmental Health Trust for posting Part 3 of their series:
Investigate Europe has published yet another report on 5G and health.
“Unsubstantiated claims that connect the new mobile technology to the spread of the Coronavirus pandemic have led people to destroy 5G masts in several countries. Such actions overshadow concerns about health effects of the technology that are real and legitimate.”
This latest report is the third segment from the investigative journalists of Investigate Europe that details how industry loyal groups have dominated the standard setting landscape despite hundreds of independent scientists calling for a halt to 5G.
