None that don't license compute from Amazon/MS/Google + almost certainly use data that's a commercial surveillance derivative. Then there's the deployment q: who'll pay for "social good" to actually work in the world, not just exist as a hypothesis project in a grant report?

Ever heard the term 𝐥𝐨𝐰-𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐡?

The PDF is FREE. It is the legitimate version, not a draft. Hardcovers will be available soon ($70 to cover the printing cost).

My little hope is that the book can help underprivileged families who cannot afford a textbook.

Your download = best support. Thx.

[Geeks Without Bounds @GWOBorg]

Oo! This looks interesting and very useful for grassroots environmental monitoring and citizen science.

Interested in Surveillance Studies? I’ve created a condensed website for an easy introduction to the field, including key centers, journals, and books. This was built for #students in my #surveillance class, but it could be a useful resource for anyone. https://t.co/v4wxBrWUcB
