Join us, and tell Capita PLC: stop profiting from the hostile environment. https://pvcy.org/capitalsurveillance

In the UK, asylum seekers are detained - often for a long time - while their claims are processed. If they’re not deported, they get released, but many have to wear an ankle tag which the Home Office can use to follow their movements 24 hours a day.

But there don’t seem to be any rules about who does and doesn’t get tagged, and how the data these tags collect is used by the Home Office.

So we bought some tags from the open market and tested them, to see how they work. #dignitynotdata #privacy #surveillance
