Lets record everything CEOs and government officials do in their spare time, and lets see how long that lasts.

You know what, they even record the govt officials who just have not yet realised its happening and used in espionage.
The simple fact of using the word "citizens" instead of people sounds awfully dystopian to me.
Quiet part out loud used to be career ending.
Literally 1984
You may not like it, but this is what peak freedom looks like in a liberal capitalist society.
Gonna start calling it late-stage liberalism.
ha
Can't we call it the class war?
If we had a way of documenting their crimes, ICE would not kill people, right?
Citizens will be on their best behavior, because we're constantly recording and reporting everything that's going on
Well, there are paid thugs not caring if they're being recorded.
These dumbasess are nearing the wish and dream of every autocratic government in human history: to fully automate the military.
Its not done yet dumbasses, why are you revealing these cards in such a public way? They are so impatient and arrogant, which will one day be their undoing.
The inevitably of end stage capitalism marches closer
Thiel moving to Argentina too soon, too? Maybe place your administration one more time, before leaving the mess you made?
That coward fleeing is one of the better harbingers of this hellscape, means he thinks the backlash might be worse than he anticipated
They're trying to make us feel powerless, while giving investors the impression they have the most dystopian product: as products without regard for morals tend to yield the highest returns. The biggest bullshitter will secure most venture capital, to be weaponized against competitors.
~~Citizens~~ proles will be on their best behavior.
If you are always on your best behavior, doesn't that also mean you are also on your worst behavior? Are there specific times to relax permitted?
What is it about the plummeting rates of violent crime in the past few decades that called for this erosion of human dignity?
Only the middle class will be worried about this. Larry was obviously never broke. When you’re broke with no options, you don’t care. What are they going to sue, sue you when you’re already in a stack of debt? Take away the house and car you don’t own? Get you removed from your crappy job you hate anyway? I don’t see that as a plan the works out like they expect it to. It’s only when you have something to lose you’re worried about losing things. When you’re starting with nothing, there’s nothing they can take from you. Their plan doesn’t account for that.
If your murder a CEO the state will provide you with free housing & food. Something to think about...
"The most dangerous creation of any society is the man who has nothing to lose." - James Baldwin
Crap, didnt see your comment before I made mine
the upper echelons of the middle class are the reason why this fuckery keeps going on.
When you have nothing to lose, you finally become free for the first time in your life.
Someone already had that idea 200 years ago, Larry. It doesn't work.
Best behavior for the cameras. While we find ways to hack the system, scramble facial recognition, create alternative spaces they can’t touch, etc. We’re not going to broadcast how we circumvent their constant onslaught of creeper bullshit.
He looks like homelander son
Fuck Larry Ellison. I bet his mom didn’t breast feed him enough & his dad never tucked him in at night

SM was founder of Sun Microsystems. Ironic part is... Sun had very little to do with the total destruction of privacy. Not compared to Google, Meta, Tiktok, and some 100's of data broker companies nobody heard of but sit in the shadows and amass dossiers of every single human being.
The Epstein class will be in their best behaviour six feet under.
I know you're not supposed to anthropomorphize the lawnmower, but man, I really hate this lawnmower.
After his fellas have demonstrated plain and clear that "recorded and reported" means nothing as long as you have enough money?
Haaa, go on and try that
