Crowdsourced Countersurveillance: A Countersurveillant Assemblage?

Speed camera ‘traps’, random breath testing (RBT) stations, and other forms of mobile traffic surveillance have long been circumvented by motorists. However, as technologies for traffic surveillance have developed, so too have technologies enabling individuals to monitor and countersurveil these measures. One of the most recent forms of these countersurveillance platforms can be found on Facebook, where dedicated regional and national RBT and ‘police presence’ pages publicly post the locations of various forms of police surveillance in real time. In this article, we argue that Facebook RBT pages exemplify a new form of social media facilitated countersurveillance we term crowdsourced countersurveillance: the use of knowledge-discovery and management crowdsourcing to facilitate surveillance discovery, avoidance, and countersurveillance. Crowdsourced countersurveillance, we argue, represents a form of countersurveillant assemblage: an ensemble of individuals, technologies, and data flows that, more than the sum of their parts, function together to neutralize surveillance measures. Facilitated by affordances for crowdsourcing, aggregating, and crowdmapping geographical data information on surveillance actors, crowdsourced countersurveillance provides a means of generating ‘hybrid heterotopias’: mediated counter-sites that enable individuals to contest and circumvent surveilled spatial arrangements.

众包反监视:反监视集合?

驾驶者早就回避了高速摄影机的“陷阱”,随机呼气测试(RBT)站以及其他形式的移动交通监控。但是,随着交通监控技术的发展,也使个人能够监控和应对这些措施的技术也随之发展。这些反监视平台的最新形式之一可以在Facebook上找到,在那里专门的区域和国家RBT和“警察在场”页面实时公开发布各种形式的警察监视的位置。在本文中,我们认为Facebook RBT页面示例了一种新形式的社交媒体,它促进了反监督,我们称之为众包反监督:利用知识发现和管理众包来促进监视发现,避免和反监督。我们认为,众包的反监视代表了一种反监视组合:一种由个人,技术和数据流组成的集合,它们的总和超过了各个部分的总和,可以中和监视措施。通过对监视参与者的地理数据信息进行众包,汇总和众包的能力的促进,众包反监视提供了一种生成“混合异位点”的方式:通过介导的反站点,个人可以竞争并规避监视的空间安排。
