Fascinating stuff happening in the world of surveillance that can be covered in fully panels and we are always glad to have a lineup and smart focus to address that range of topics in our shorter flash talks and to begin the senior counsel and director of Freedom Technology and freedom, this is a time where we hear a lot about the goal of putting the first but surveillance based in this often creates friction with our allies when our surveillance goals conflict and im happy to welcome that from an international perspective. [applause] thank you and hello. I am with the center for democracy and technology, ww the cdt. Org. I want to talk about the applications of America First surveillance policy. When i say America First i mean americans first, the surveillance policy on the intelligence side of the equation discriminates in favor of americans and against foreigners in a dramatic way when it comes to surveillance that occurs outside the United States.

Address that range of topics. To begin, i have a senior counsel and director of the Freedom Technology and security project. It is a time where we hear a lot about the goal of putting America First. Surveillance states, this often creates some friction with our allies. Our goals may conflict with their desire to protect their own citizens. [cheering and applause] thank you. Hello, everyone. Www. Cdt. Org. I want to talk about the Global Implications of what i call America First surveillance policies. U. S.

So i will not use any time to repeat what the speakers would need for introduction, but they come from three important perspectives on the debate. This is obviously a law and policy conference. I think that we will discuss a little bit more law than we have discussed in other panels, and hopefully a little policy as well. So the broad theme for the panel which is true for a lot of the immigration stuff since trump took over is some important issues having been sort of shuttled between and among three branchs of the government.

I think you know and would agree that in San Francisco in 2019, whatever the reason, this is troubling. We look forward to the full data and to the continued conversations with your office and with all of our partners and the board of supervisors. I think the way forward here is really, as ive said on a couple of small projects, is really about community and were really looking forward to our partnerships both with the board of supervisors, the mayors office, oti and much broader than that, were going to need the help of the full community to improve these numbers and we look forward to receiving that feedback, that reflection, that input, so that we can do better.

Concerning biased. So the answer is, we dont know because we dont have the full data and we need to do better in the meantime because i dont want to be here a year from now saying now we have full data and its the same and we havent done anything in the meantime. So we have to work in parallel process to train, to reduce biased, to partner specifically with lgbtq plus organizations who have trust with the community, to build the trust with our other partners and those are all of the steps were taking now to try to improve at the same time we try to improve our Data Collection.
