This time, this blog will be used more as a support to others better organized, advertising initiatives and actions, reporting  news and results.

The European Union is spending tens of millions of euros on an artificial intelligence system known as “Project Indect,” which would draw from multiple data sources, namely public surveillance cameras, in order to detect “threats” and recognize “abnormal behavior” across the whole continent.
