CA Success Stories
Here is a list of jurisdictions, agencies, and institutions that have blocked or terminated AI-powered dragnet mass surveillance technologies, or are in the process of doing so. "Suspended" means the cameras have been disabled pending termination, and "Sunsetting" means that the decision has been made to terminate or not to renew, but the cameras haven't been taken down. Note that these are just the ones we know of. So far.
