    Attack On The Twin Towers

    On September 11, 2001, members of jihadist networks hijacked four commercial planes and crashed two of them into the World Trade Center's Twin Towers in New York City and another into the Pentagon in Washington D.C., resulting in over 2,900 deaths and 6,000 injuries. The attacks shocked the world and led countries like the U.S. to reinforce surveillance of citizens and change security policies. While Mexico did not endorse attacking Afghanistan or Iraq in response, it grew more cautious to avoid becoming a target itself. The 9/11 attacks also legalized permanent mass surveillance under the guise of countering terrorism and strengthening security, consolidating the surveillance society.

    ATTACK ON THE TWIN TOWERS

    On 9/11, the world observed how members of jihadist


    networks impacted four planes at different sites in the
    American Union -such as the Twin Towers and the
    Pentagon-, which left more than 2,900 dead and 6,000
    injured.

    From then on, reiterates Juan Carlos Barrón, the use of


    technology for citizen surveillance was reinforced. “The
    impact caused by seeing the planes crashing into the Twin
    Towers and collapsing was what remained in the
    imagination. It was an exceptional situation by all accounts.”
    These attacks also changed the security paradigm and no
    country questioned US policy.

    Mexico, recalls the university student, did not endorse the


    measures requested by the US government to attack
    Afghanistan and Iraq. "He was very cautious to try to avoid
    being the target of a terrorist attack, since the main concern
    of the public was that some enemy of the United States
    could cause damage to our territory or that our country
    would be used as a means to do so."

    The 9/11 attacks legalized the permanent surveillance of


    the population, under the pretext of eradicating terrorism
    and strengthening internal security. The surveillance society
    or surveillance capitalism was consolidated, and investment
    in the world associated with this objective grew
    exponentially between 2001 and 2019: practically double
    every year, according to Tech Nation, refers to the expert in
    complexity and sociocybernetics.
