In my latest piece in Surveillance & Society, I investigate #Colombia University’s police crackdown on protesters; #UCLA’s tolerance for terror inflicted by vigilante counterprotesters; and the broader punishment and dismissal of professors voicing criticism of Israel’s war in #Gaza.

I'm absolutely going to assign this when I teach my "Technology & Social Justice" course next, most likely in the Spring. The critique is spot on, and the examples are perfectly colorful and outrageous. Thanks for writing this book!
