Axon, maker of Tasers and police body cameras, has acquired AI surveillance company Fusus amid a push into retail and healthcare settings.

This the guy testing cameras in the OR?

Fuck that guy, and fuck his invasions of privacy.

Only mention was:

“With Fusus, hospitals, schools, retail stores, houses of worship, event venues and residential communities—whole cities and towns—are better protected and, importantly, can contribute to greater safety for everyone,” an Axon blog on the Fusus acquisition states.

Previous articles have mentioned Fusus with plenty of fear mongering which is warranted, but tends to gloss over how their system works.

They offer corporation/municipalities/churches/etc. an “opportunity” to contribute to the security of their blah, blah, by “donating” their security footages… their presentation’s seem to be “this can work with your existing equipment, but if it doesn’t just buy ours!”

They then turn around and sell access back to these same entities… or at least to police/government.

So fuck those guys ;-)
