Link Resource Database
Links to reliable sources (news articles, research, and analysis) for informed opposition to dragnet mass
surveillance.
This database focuses on
facts and reporting rather than opinion or philosophy. The more reliable, the better. We're looking for things
that can be presented to elected officials and other decision-makers as independent, reliable sources that
they should take seriously.

From a mass surveillance company that wants to stuff this list full of propaganda? Go flock yourself!

🔗 Kentucky bill would ban automated license plate readers statewide, with criminal and civil penalties KY
Legislation
"I believe that mass surveillance is just as much a threat to Americans as it is to illegal immigrants. And the reality is this: the Fourth Amendment, the Fifth Amendment, the Sixth Amendment — those rights for those in the criminal justice system, that was adopted not to protect the guilty, it was meant to protect the innocent from unnecessary surveillance."
