"A group of researchers studied 15 months of human mobility movement data taken
from 1.5 million people and concluded that just four points in space and time
were sufficient to identify 95% of them, even when the data weren’t of
excellent quality.

That was back in 2013.

Nearly ten years on, surveillance technologies permeate all aspects of our
lives. They collect swathes of data from us in various forms, and often without
us knowing.

I’m a surveillance researcher with a focus on technology governance. Here’s my
round-up of widespread surveillance systems I think everyone should know
about."
