Israel is the only third country by sending experts from the Ministry of Public Security to the EU project. The „Roxanne“ consortium includes 24 European organisations from 16 countries, half of which are law enforcement agencies and interior ministries. In the project, the Commission aims to improve police investigative capabilities, in particular in major criminal cases. To analyse networks of suspicious persons, the platform uses facial recognition, for example, to process video from public surveillance or downloaded from providers such as YouTube and Facebook. The platform is designed to process large amounts of data and combines audio files with other metadata. In „Roxanne“, the European Commission is developing a procedure to trace individuals by their spoken word.
The technology uses extensive metadata that people leave behind in public places or the Internet. Persons can then be located in intercepted telephone conversations. The combination of different techniques will provide police authorities with a powerful surveillance tool. „Britain and Europol: Social media to remove posts by refugees“ weiterlesen Autor Matthias Monroy Veröffentlicht am Schlagwörter Care4Calais, Digital Services Act, EMSC, English Channel, Europol, Facebook, Instagram, Internet, Internet Referral Unit, IRU, Migration, National Crime Agency, Priti Patel, TikTok, Twitter EU develops wiretap platform using face recognition and geodata Immigration Minister Chris Philp had already spoken to representatives of the largest internet companies earlier this year and called for ads promoting the crossings to be removed.
