Saving the World with User-centric Identity.

Participatory Panopticon tracking the CIA's Torture Taxi

I was thinking about the participatory panopticon concept the other day when reading this article in the local weekly paper about amateur plane spotters tracking the movements of the CIA planes around the world that are moving torture victims to of shore destinations. The cover story was 'Torture Air'.

Jamais (the originator of the term participatory panopticon) has this article today about how Yahoo Research Labs have come closer to making it more real with face recognition.
