Surveillance Technology Oversight Project (STOP)

The Surveillance Technology Oversight Project (STOP) is an organization focused on monitoring and regulating the use of surveillance technologies by government and law enforcement. Its goal is to ensure that such technologies, including facial recognition and drones, are used responsibly and do not infringe upon individual privacy rights. STOP advocates for transparency and accountability, calling for policies that restrict invasive practices, promote civil liberties, and engage the public in discussions about surveillance. By doing so, STOP aims to protect citizens from potential abuses of power linked to technology in the monitoring of everyday life.
