If you were one of the thousands of people who attended the Old Miss vs Georgia game a few weeks ago, a DHS system could have been monitoring you. </p><p>At that game and others schools have been using a little-known Department of Homeland Security platform called the Homeland Security Information Network (HSIN). FOIAball, <a href="https://www.foiaball.com/p/dhs-college-football-hsin-surveillance-ole-miss-ohio-state?ref=404media.co"><u>a newsletter reporting on college football and public records</u></a>, got a hold of documents related to this surveillance effort. </p><p>All of this information and monitoring is now being fed into facial recognition systems, as those systems of surveillance expand. And, HSIN isn't just being used at concerts and game days, it's not being deployed against protesters, activists, and peaceful crowds. </p><p>Story on FOIAball: <a href="https://www.foiaball.com/p/dhs-college-football-hsin-surveillance-ole-miss-ohio-state"><u>https://www.foiaball.com/p/dhs-college-football-hsin-surveillance-ole-miss-ohio-state</u></a></p><p>Follow me:</p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/taylorlorenz"><u>https://www.instagram.com/taylorlorenz</u></a> </p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/taylorlorenz3.0"><u>https://www.instagram.com/taylorlorenz3.0</u></a> </p><p><a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@taylorlorenz"><u>https://www.tiktok.com/@taylorlorenz</u></a> </p><p><br /></p>
