People keep mentioning that there are competing brands, but there's not a ton of evidence to suggest a brand pivot.

Frankly, I don't think it'll matter. It's the technology that's pissed people off en masse, and changing brands doesn't change the fact that it fundamentally doesn't work as designed. Changing brands also doesn't change the fact that people who are supposed to be trusted with this shit routinely misuse it, and not only that, keep getting caught misusing it.

I just think there's something that people feel down in their DNA that this technology is fundamentally Un-American, and a brand pivot isn't going to fix the anger that's manifested against it across the whole country.

People will bust down these other cameras too.
