It’s a topic we thought Bolts readers may have a lot of questions about, so we turned to Andrew Guthrie Ferguson, a law professor and author of the new book “Your Data Will Be Used Against You.” Ferguson researched how modern policing is tracking personal data, and how digital surveillance technology can be weaponized to threaten personal freedoms. “You are, at best, a warrant away from having your most intimate personal details revealed to a government agent looking to incarcerate, embarrass, or intimidate you,” he writes in his book. Ferguson has agreed to answer questions from Bolts readers—so now we want to hear from you.

All of our personal data is increasingly tracked & surveilled. A new book (“Your Data Will Be Used Against You”) breaks it down.

We asked its author, @profferguson.bsky.social, if he'd answer your questions on the risks & what it means for politics & liberties. He agreed.

So ask him anything!

U.S.-based folks, the team at @bolts will soon be sitting down with law professor Andrew Guthrie Ferguson, author of “Your Data Will Be Used Against You," and they want to put your questions to him on surveillance in law enforcement. Here's how.

@politicsprose.bsky.social Thank you!

The Race for Fashion Smart Glasses Is On Gucci next on deck? It's all starting to feel like smartwatches circa 2017.

Today in luxury surveillance.

The Shocking Secrets of Madison Square Garden's Surveillance Machine Famously vengeful Knicks owner Jim Dolan has long spied on people at his iconic arenas. WIRED goes deep inside the operation that allegedly tracked a trans woman, lawyers, protesters, and more.

Wild story of how we can be monitored and tracked with technology. www.wired.com/story/madiso...

Don’t miss this!

@profferguson.bsky.social writes in his book: “you are, at best, a warrant away from having your most intimate personal details revealed to a government agent looking to incarcerate or intimidate you.”

You can ask him about this reality below — he’s agreed to answer our readers.

I bet this book is fantastic and I’m too scared to read it. I’m already freaked out and relatively aware of the surveillance state and this might throw me into a panic. (Complimentary)

Here's the gist of it.

Philadelphia police expand drone use, but with little oversight from above The Philadelphia Police Department has been operating a drone program for two years without the kind of transparency and oversight common in other major cities.

Indeed. This article just hints at the problems of cities using new forms of self-surveillance in the name of public safety. The real-time crime story alluded to in the article is another example.

Writing a book is a solitary pursuit. Sharing a book is a community joy. It is so important to have community bookstores like Politics and Prose to spread that joy.

Thank you to Rachel Levinson-Waldman of the Brennan Center for being a wonderful interviewer.

This is hilarious. I have so many favorites.

A group of law professors is called a prominence.

This interview is framed in the current world with real fears of the current administration, but the dangers are bipartisan. Most of the infrastructure of surveillance was built in prior administrations and even more was constructed by us. Thus self-surveillance.
