Tech Companies Selling Surveillance Technology to Police

Police departments in the United States are increasingly using drones, satellites, and surveillance software to aid in surveillance efforts and catch troublemakers. Silicon Valley, traditionally known for its libertarian views, is now selling various technologies to defense industries and governments. Drones, satellites, and software platforms that analyze data from social media and surveillance cameras are gaining popularity. Despite some companies' initial resistance to selling surveillance technology, the demand for such equipment is growing, driven by law enforcement agencies seeking to enhance their capabilities.
