MediaJustice National Field Organizer Rumsha Sajid puts a clear challenge to the Federal Trade Commision in a recent interview with FTC Watch. Sajid points out that FTC’s power to regulate corporations that surveil communities of color also presents the opportunity to begin repairing those harms:
“While commercial surveillance affects us all, the direct harms of control, criminalization and punishment are often directed at communities of color. So any money that the government receives as part of its enforcement of commercial surveillance should go to a fund that focuses on reparations and redress for communities of color and other communities that have been directly harmed by commercial surveillance,”
