WTF Is a School Supposed to Do?
Anyone who knows me knows that I'm a wanna be techno-geek, as it were. I find technology fascinating. I have taken classes related to coding and networking. I'm always interested in learning more.
Now, like most things in this life and world, there are positives and negatives to everything, including technology.
For instance, let's consider the cellular telephone. Most people have one, including Umar Johnson. We know this because we've seen video after video of Umar Johnson, likely recorded on his cell phone.
Anyways...
A positive aspect of having a cell phone is the ease and convenience of having almost everything you need in your hand.
A negative is that having a cell phone is like having a spy with you everywhere you take your cell phone...which for most people, is everywhere.
It's almost generally accepted, in the circles I know of that your cell phone is tracking you. Every place you go, everywhere you shop, every restaurant you visit is being tracked. And the New York Times confirms this theory.
In a recent New York Times piece, called The Privacy Project, it states:
In other words, there is no more privacy. So, how in the world would anyone, including Umar Johnson, think that he, or anyone, can build a "Underground Railroad" for Black people, or any people, in this age of technology in which anyone with a cellular telephone with apps downloaded can be tracked?
Oh! A "sensitive area" could be any place that regularly hosts lectures, such as those put on by Umar Johnson.
Just saying.
According to the same New York Times piece, even your children aren't protected from being tracked.
Okay, I have a question for Umar Johnson. What in the world is a school, albeit a school that will never exist, supposed to do to save Black people in the wake of a so-called white supremacy structure that includes technology in which EVERYONE with a cellular telephone, even children, are being tracked?
I'll wait for the answer.

It doesn’t take much imagination to conjure the powers such always-on surveillance can provide an authoritarian regime like China’s. Within America’s own representative democracy, citizens would surely rise up in outrage if the government attempted to mandate that every person above the age of 12 carry a tracking device that revealed their location 24 hours a day. Yet, in the decade since Apple’s App Store was created, Americans have, app by app, consented to just such a system run by private companies. Now, as the decade ends, tens of millions of Americans, including many children, find themselves carrying spies in their pockets during the day and leaving them beside their beds at night — even though the corporations that control their data are far less accountable than the government would be.
In other words, there is no more privacy. So, how in the world would anyone, including Umar Johnson, think that he, or anyone, can build a "Underground Railroad" for Black people, or any people, in this age of technology in which anyone with a cellular telephone with apps downloaded can be tracked?
For many Americans, the only real risk they face from having their information exposed would be embarrassment or inconvenience. But for others, like survivors of abuse, the risks could be substantial. And who can say what practices or relationships any given individual might want to keep private, to withhold from friends, family, employers or the government? We found hundreds of pings in mosques and churches, abortion clinics, queer spaces and other sensitive areas.
