b'Earlier this month, the Privacy Commissioner of Canada released a scathing report on the RCMP\\u2019s use of facial recognition technology, particularly its work with Clearview AI. The report was particularly damaging as the Commissioner found that the RCMP wasn\\u2019t truthful when it said it didn\\u2019t work with Clearview AI and then gave inaccurate information on the number of uses when it was revealed that it did. In fact, even after these findings, the RCMP still rejected the Privacy Commissioner\\u2019s findings that it violated the Privacy Act.\\nLex Gill is a Montreal-based lawyer where she is an affiliate at the Citizen Lab and teaches at McGill University\\u2019s Faculty of Law. She has also worked at the Canadian Civil Liberties Association and the Canadian Internet Policy and Public Interest Clinic. Lex joins the podcast to discuss the Commissioner\\u2019s findings and to explain why this is best viewed as part of a long cycle of surveillance that has often targeted social movements or vulnerable populations.\\nThe podcast can be downloaded here, accessed on YouTube, and is embedded below.
