Oui ils veulent pucer les enfants !
«Les cyber-experts ont critiqué le Premier ministre Benjamin Netanyahu pour sa proposition de «micropucer" les enfants qui retournent dans les écoles et les jardins d'enfants alors que la fermeture du coronavirus est levée, a rapporté vendredi Ynet.
Lors d'une conférence de presse lundi, Netanyahu a suggéré au ministère de la Santé d'utiliser une nouvelle technologie pour aider Israël à s'adapter à sa nouvelle routine alors que l'État lève le verrouillage du coronavirus. "C'est-à-dire une technologie qui n'a pas été utilisée auparavant et qui est autorisée par la législation que nous allons promulguer", a-t-il précisé.
«J'ai parlé avec nos chefs de la technologie afin de trouver des mesures dans lesquelles Israël est bon, comme des capteurs. Par exemple, chaque personne, chaque enfant - je le veux d'abord aux enfants - aurait un capteur qui déclencherait une alarme lorsque vous obtenez trop proches, comme ceux des voitures ", a déclaré le Premier ministre.
«Il sera difficile de le faire à plus d'un million d'écoliers qui retournent dans leurs établissements d'enseignement afin de garantir qu'un élève se trouve à une distance de deux mètres l'un de l'autre. C'est fictif et dangereux", a déclaré Einat Meron, experte en cyber-résilience, à Ynet. ."
Benjamin Netanyahu suggests microchipping kids, slammed by experts
"If the information with the
kids' location is uploaded to the internet, a pedophile with some cyber
knowledge may invade the system and stalk them," cyber expert Einat
Meron said.

Cyber experts slammed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
for his proposal to "microchip" children who return to schools and
kindergartens as the coronavirus lockdown is lifted, Ynet reported on
Friday.
While
speaking at a press conference on Monday, Netanyahu suggested the
Health Ministry use new technology to help Israel adjust to its new
routine as the state is lifting the coronavirus lockdown. "That is,
technology that has not been used before and is allowed under the
legislation we shall enact," he clarified.
"I
spoke with our heads of technology in order to find measures Israel is
good at, such as sensors. For instance, every person, every kid – I want
it on kids first – would have a sensor that would sound an alarm when
you get too close, like the ones on cars," the prime minister said.
"It
will be hard to do it to more than a million schoolchildren who return
to their educational institutions in order to ensure one student sits at
the distance of two meters from another. It is fictional and
dangerous," cyber resilience expert Einat Meron told Ynet.
"Theoretically,
I get the idea behind it," she said. "But although such
distance-sensitive microchips exist in vehicles, it is different in
humans." According to Meron, "a beeping sound telling me I got close to
someone is not enough. Who says it will change anything? I would have
gotten closer either way."
The
expert added that "the actual issue is the enforcement, and here
everything changes." Meron told Ynet that "microchipping children will
not pass any test – both practically and legally." Similar to Meron's
notion that notifying citizens on their distance will not affect their
actions, many fear the state would make use of the information available
from the sensors.
"If
the information with the kids' location is uploaded to the internet, a
pedophile with some cyber knowledge may invade the system and stalk them
outside their schools, follow them and distribute the information on
other platforms," Meron said. "Can the state take responsibility for
that?"
The
Prime Minister's Office responded to the report, telling Ynet
Netanyahu's suggestion "is not to be implemented through databases, but
through simple technology notifying [the citizens] about their distance.
It is a voluntary option that is designed to help children keep their
distance, like Mobileye with vehicles."
The
office added that the prime minister's suggestion is "an idea that may
help maintain social distancing, and there will not be any violation of
privacy."
On Wednesday, Walla reported the movements of all vehicles in Israel were tracked by police
and stored in an unregulated database named Eagle Eye. A source cited
by the media site said the information "may be kept for years on end."
The
Association for Civil Rights in Israel (ACRI) reportedly submitted a
request under the Freedom of Information Act that police disclose the
extent of the operations of Eagle Eye, as well as the time the
information on citizens' movements is stored in the system.
Israel
Police responded to ACRI, saying the system's activity was not
standardized internally despite several years of operations. "Either
way, once finalized, the procedure will not be disclosed to the public,"
police added.
In late March, Yediot Aharonot reported a classified Shin Bet
(Israel Security Agency) database stored information on all Israeli
citizens and most Palestinians from the West Bank. The data tracked by
the security agency included movements, phone calls and text messages.
