I can't sleep anymore reading this stuff. The only chance that this can ever be regulated out of existence is through far reaching federal legislation that reinforces the 4th amendment in the digital age. And we know there is zero chance of that.
The public space has never included a true right to privacy but the raw intake and storage and analysis of your every biometric and existence to create a profile on every figure regardless of threat or action in society is a fucking Invasion of being.
The whole point is to change the risk calculations people make in order to make "civil" and "polite" actions such as protests, legislation, etc. more risky and therefore most people are less likely to engage in.
What these dumb asses don't realize is that if the level of risk for the "peaceful" options rises to the same level as alternatives, which are arguably much more effective, then those are going to be the only recourse people have and the actions people will take.
I do believe your analysis is correct about there being zero chance of it being legislated away. So now what?
Remember all those dystopian movies that were trying to warn us? Well now they're guides.
Please reference said movies E: I was just asking for some movie suggestions
Anything simple enough for either of us to consciously understand would almost certainly be wrong
The answer is the alternatives or get crushes under the boot heel.
I really liked the idea of peaceful options I got to feel all star fleet and shit about it
Me: I don't consent to invasion of my being.
General public: k.
E: Shareholders: Jack Nicholson nodding yes menacingly
even worse: I brought up flock cameras to an aquaintance and their response was essentially "why is that so bad, they already have all our data from our phones, what's one more set of cameras"
I swear to fuck. It's like talking to brick walls. You have the freedom to control your phone.
Brick city
When they remove peaceful options
