Only if its something that most people choose to do, I don't like cameras, and now there's cameras everywhere, I can reject the system as much as I want but if I want to buy the stuff I need to eat I have to go out and get recorded. Of course you can argue I could also live on a farm isolated from everyone else and grow my own food and never go into any town or city, but that's a really restrictive way to live.
Depends on your definition of what "restrictive" is. If you were born in, or even lived most of your life in a city, your perspective of reality is severely warped.
My definition of restrictive is having limited access to the things people who don't live isolated have access to. I've lived both on a capital city an a more rural/countryside area, even on the countryside there are cameras on buses, hospitals, gov buildings, on houses, of not all houses like in the city, but if you go out anywhere even here, you will get recorded. (unless you go to a place without people, which as I said would be restrictive)
My perspective of reality might be "warped" as you say, but does that change any argument I'm making? Or it's something you just wanted to say?
You can buy glasses or clothing specifically designed to counter face recognition. There are ways to fight back, you just need to decide what level of resistance is ok for you that you can do it consistently enough (and be okay doing possibly for life).
These clothes/glasses look the same as the regular thing? Or do they give away the fact you are trying to mess with surveillance? Cause if they point that out you stick as a sore thumb
Both are looking fine. The glasses look like sunglasses. The clothes have interesting design but I wouldn't say they stand out too much. You can search for it and see for yourself.
Do you happen to have a specific one to look for? My guess is there will be a bunch of knock off crap being made to try and sell to privacy focused people
I just remember article i think it was this one The glasses I don't remember. There was a YouTube video about it.
