Great to see my recent investigation into PimEyes featured in @BigBrotherWatch's Biometric Britain report, exploring the expansion of facial recognition technologies in the UK. The full report can be read here: lnkd.in/ecR69SNy

Facial recognition search engine PimEyes profits from vulnerable women, supporting an online underbelly of image-based sexual abuse in the process. A @BylineTimes investigation. #facialrecognition #artificialintelligence #ai #pimeyes bylinesupplement.com/p/ai-search-en…

Combining this information, it seems fair to assume that the Tatmadaw has significantly increased the number of civilians it is detaining and torturing at Shwepyitha since the coup began. 8/8

The latest Google Earth imagery (March 2022) shows the number of trucks here has increased dramatically, 7/8

Myanmar OSINT Pt. 2🇲🇲🧵 Thousands of Burmese people have been tortured at the Shwepyitha Interrogation Centre since Myanmar’s military coup began. Since @ali_fowle broke the story last year, the site has expanded considerably. #OSINT #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar 1/8

The last video also highlights that PDF fighters in the Sagaing region are very active. Based on the evidence, I find it likely (but not certain) that pro-PDF fighters carried out this execution in central Tamu. (First OSINT attempt, feedback welcome) 10/10

Second, Persons 4 & 5. Both are dressed very similarly to Tamu PDF 4th Battalion fighters in this video from April 2022 on another Myanmar news site. mizzima.com/article/pdf-at… 9/10

Myanmar OSINT🇲🇲🧵 On 2 Dec 15:39, a video was uploaded to Telegram supposedly showing pro-democracy PDF fighters beating and executing a civilian in the centre of Tamu Township, Sagaing Region, Myanmar. Here is all we know so far... #OSINT #Myanmar 1/10
