Presented with the argument that mass surveillance is being carried out in a territory that is not governed democratically, AnyVision CEO Etshtein told Haaretz: “It’s really a huge dilemma, but I’m not the guy to ask this. Ultimately we’re a technology company that does the maximum so that its technology isn’t misused.”

But if AnyVision is field-testing their technology on Palestinians who live under military occupation and therefore have no choice in the matter, is that not “misuse”?
