https://media.ccc.de/v/34c3-9070-financial_surveillance Banks have built a huge surveillance infrastructure sweeping up millions of innocent people. Investigative journalists Jasmin Klofta and Tom Wills explain how, as part of an international collaboration, they exposed World-Check, the privately-run system. A database used to make decisions affecting people and organisations all over the world. They include a mosque that had its bank account shut without explanation, activists blacklisted for a peaceful protest, and ordinary citizens whose political activities were secretly catalogued. We discovered the human impact of this Kafkaesque system, which is used by almost every major bank and many other institutions. We will also ask whether we really want banks to be held responsible for the crimes of their customers? Are Financial Intelligence Units pre-crime agencies?
