　　　　　　　　　　　　　９月９日長崎地裁前＝撮影・橋場 紀子　長崎で原爆に遭いながら、国に「被爆者認定」を拒まれてきた被爆体験者に、また、指定援護区域の壁が立ちはだかった。長崎地裁は９日、被爆体験者が県と市に被爆者健康手帳交付を求めた訴訟の判決で15人を救済、残る29人の訴えは退けた。キーワードは「黒い雨」。広島の黒い雨訴訟を経て22年に運用開始された新基準に沿った判決で、今度は被爆体験者に分断を持ち込んだ。一方、８月に被爆体験者に「合理的解決参画」を約束した岸田首相は21..

衆議院議員総選挙の投票日における総務大臣談話

　暉峻淑子さんは、近著「承認をひらくー新・人権宣言」（岩波書店）の「おわりに」で次のように書いている。「私が本を書きたいと思う動機には・・・社会の中に、深いひずみが生じて、周りから悲鳴をあげる声が聞こえ、私の心がその悲鳴に共振するときでした」と。　「悲鳴の声」が筆者に届き、「深いひずみ」を素早く感得できるのは筆者が常に社会を凝視し、虐げられた人々、マイノリティに温かい目を注いでいるからであろう。そればかりではない。筆者はしばしば市民・民衆のなかに飛び込みその声を聞き、多様で複..

2010年、中国深センにあるiPhoneの巨大製造工場「富士康Foxconn（フォックスコン）」で13人もの若い労働者が、宿舎の屋上などから飛び降り自殺する事件が13件も相次ぎました。ドキュメント映画《飛昇》は、2010年に飛び降り自殺した13人のうち何とか命を取り留めた17歳の田玉さんを撮った作品で、2014年に私家版として公開されました。iPhoneがどのような過酷な労働者管理下で製造されているのか、そしてそこで働く労働者らの心の声が記録されています。

Safe trick-or-treating this Halloween means being aware of the real monsters of street-level surveillance. You might not always see these menaces, but they are watching you. The real-world harms of these terrors wreak havoc on our communities. Here, we highlight just a few of the beasts. To learn more about all of the street-level surveillance creeps in your community, check out our even-spookier resource, sls.eff.org. 

If your blood runs too cold, take a break with our favorite digital rights legends— the Encryptids.

The Face Stealer

Careful where you look. Around any corner may loom the Face Stealer, an arachnid mimic that captures your likeness with just a glance. Is that your mother in the woods? Your roommate down the alley? The Stealer thrives on your dread and confusion, luring you into its web. Everywhere you go, strangers and loved ones alike recoil, convinced you’re something monstrous. Survival means adapting to a world where your face is no longer yours—it’s a lure for the horror that claimed it.

The Real Monster

Face recognition technology (FRT) might not jump out at you, but the impacts of this monster are all too real. EFF wants to banish this monster with a full ban on government use, and prohibit companies from feeding on this data without permission. FRT is a tool for mass surveillance, snooping on protesters, and deepening social inequalities.

Three-eyed Beast

Freeze! In your weakest moment, you may  encounter the Three-Eyed Beast—and you don’t want to make any sudden movements. As it snarls, its third eye cracks open and sends a chill through your soul. This magical gaze illuminates your every move, identifying every flaw and mistake. The rest of the world is shrouded in darkness as its piercing squeals of delight turn you into a spectacle—sometimes calling in foes like the Face Stealer. The real fear sets in when the eye closes once more, leaving you alone in the shadows as you realize its gaze was the last to ever find you. 

The Real Monster

Body-worn cameras are marketed as a fix for police transparency, but instead our communities get another surveillance tool pointed at us. Officers often decide when to record and what happens to the footage, leading to selective use that shields misconduct rather than exposes it. Even worse, these cameras can house other surveillance threats like Face Recognition Technology. Without strict safeguards, and community control of whether to adopt them in the first place, these cameras do more harm than good.

Shrapnel Wraith

If you spot this whirring abomination, it’s likely too late. The Shrapnel Wraith circles, unleashed on our most under-served and over-terrorized communities. This twisted heap of bolts and gears, puppeted by spiteful spirits into this gestalt form of a vulture. It watches your most private moments, but don’t mistake it for a mere voyeur; it also strikes with lethal force. Its junkyard shrapnel explodes through the air, only for two more vultures to rise from the wreckage. Its shadow swallows the streets, its buzzing sinking through your skin. Danger is circling just overhead.

The Real Monster

Drones and robots give law enforcement constant and often unchecked surveillance power. Frequently equipped with tools like high-definition cameras, heat sensors, and license plate readers, these products can extend surveillance into seemingly private spaces like one’s own backyard.  Worse, some can be armed with explosives and other weapons making them a potentially lethal threat.  Drone and robot use must have strong protections for people’s privacy, and we strongly oppose arming them with any weapons.

Doorstep Creep

Candy-seekers, watch which doors you ring this Halloween, as the Doorstep Creep lurks  at more and more homes. Slinking by the door, this ghoul fosters fear and mistrust in communities, transforming cozy entries into a fortress of suspicion. Your visit feels judged, unwanted, and in a shadow of loathing. As you walk away,  slanderous whispers echo in the home and down the street. You are not welcome here. Doors lock, blinds close, and the Creeps' dark eyes remind you of how alone you are.

The Real Monster

Community Surveillance Apps come in many forms, encouraging the adoption of more home security devices like doorway cameras, smart doorbells, and more crowd-sourced surveillance apps. People come to these apps out of fear and only find more of the same, with greater public paranoia, racial gatekeeping, and even vigilante violence. EFF believes the makers of these platforms should position them away from crime and suspicion and toward community support and mutual aid. 

Foggy Gremlin

Be careful where you step for this scavenger. The Foggy Gremlin sticks to you like a leech, and envelopes you in a psychedelic mist to draw in large predators. You can run, but no longer hide, as the fog spreads and grows denser. Anywhere you go, and anywhere you’ve been is now a hunting ground. As exhaustion sets in, a world once open and bright has become narrow, dark, and sinister.

The Real Monster

Real-time location tracking is a chilling mechanism that enables law enforcement to monitor individuals through data bought from brokers, often without warrants or oversight. Location data, harvested from mobile apps, can be weaponized to conduct area searches that expose sensitive information about countless individuals, the overwhelming majority of whom are innocent. We oppose this digital dragnet and advocate for legislation like the Fourth Amendment is Not For Sale Act to protect individuals from such tracking.
