[liberationtech] Changing Faces of "Public Administration"....

[Robert Mathews (OSIA)]

*A few weeks ago,* a link to a video of a Remote-Controlled Aerial
Surveillance System (RCASS) being used in China for Coronavirus related
traffic control was shared here.  The links shared below, represent a
few examples of similar deployments elsewhere, based on a similar need,
due to the proliferation of COVID-19.

I*t has become apparent (over the past 10 years at least)* however, that
people must aggressively think - how connections to, and relationships
with, 'public spaces' have been fast changing.  Furthermore, HOW, as an
applied field, the many aspects and character of "Public Administration"
have been changing in a way that impinge on personal freedoms during
crises, and also how, the same has been re-shaping our understanding of,
and participation in 'public space'.
