Cisco Planetary Skin Initiative and Global Sensor Networks
Cisco has partnered with various organizations to launch "Planetary Skin," a global network of sensors designed to monitor environmental data and track climate change. The project is criticized as a potential "global nervous system" for mass surveillance, with comparisons made to Orwellian control. Sysadmins are encouraged to consider alternative hardware brands to avoid participating in this integrated sensor platform.
