Facebook and Google's pervasive surveillance poses an unprecedented danger to human rights
Facebook and Google's omnipresent surveillance of billions of people poses a systemic threat to human rights, Amnesty International warned in a new report as it called for a radical transformation of the tech giants' core business model.
Surveillance Giants lays out how the surveillance-based business model of Facebook and Google is inherently incompatible with the right to privacy and poses a systemic threat to a range of other rights including freedom of opinion and expression, freedom of thought, and the right to equality and non-discrimination.
"Google and Facebook dominate our modern lives - amassing unparalleled power over the digital world by harvesting and monetizing the personal data of billions of people. Their insidious control of our digital lives undermines the very essence of privacy and is one of the defining human rights challenges of our era," said Kumi Naidoo, Secretary General of Amnesty International.

Q Research General #9654: What a season for breaking the Sedition Tradition! Edition
Israel's international war against human rights
Israel has a long record of camouflaging the truth where Palestine is concerned.
Integral to this, in recent years, has been the growing war against human rights groups documenting Israel's abuses against Palestinians and other Arabs.
Israel's hostility towards such groups is targeted, first and foremost, against Palestinians themselves.
The office of Palestinian prisoners' rights group Addameer, was raided by Israeli soldiers in September. The human rights group carries out vital solidarity work for Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails. So, naturally, it has been repeatedly targeted via the means of harassment and persecution.
But Israel's war against human rights is not limited to Palestinian groups - it also targets international human rights groups. The state's latest authoritarian actions, once again, demonstrate this in abundance.
Any group or organisation striving to shed light on, or expose Israel's crimes against Palestinians, is considered a threat by the apartheid state occupying Palestine. Therefore, they are unlawfully hostile towards such groups - no matter how timid and toothless they are in their criticisms.
Amnesty International recently noted that the trend of Israeli attacks on it has been escalating in recent years.
The latest such action was an arbitrary travel ban on one of their own Palestinian staff members, Laith Abu Zeyad.
In October, he was banned from travelling from the Israeli-occupied West Bank to Jordan, in a clear act of punishment, for his help in exposing Israeli human rights abuses. Abu Zeyad had been on his way to attend a family funeral in Jordan. This ordinary human act was instead cruelly blocked by Israel's vindictive hatred of Palestinians.
The Israeli pretext was the usual nebulous one: "Security reasons".
Amnesty International's secretary-general, Kumi Naidoo, denounced the Israeli action, explaining that: "The Israeli authorities' claim that they have security reasons for banning Laith Abu Zeyad from travelling is totally absurd. Their failure to provide any details to justify the ban reveals its true intent. This is a sinister move imposed as punishment for his work defending human rights of Palestinians."
