Ripple Labs co-founder Chris Larsen is making headlines for his substantial $9.4 million donation to the San Francisco Police Department, aimed at enhancing surveillance capacities with drones and cutting-edge technology. This initiative, part of Larsen's ongoing support for law enforcement, involves gifts that include a new surveillance gadget center and unused office space for SFPD's Real Time Investigation Center. While hailed by some as progressive, this move raises concerns over privacy and the potential implications of increased surveillance funded by private entities, especially as Larsen’s contributions to political campaigns continue.
