Technology like this always brings up the balance between safety and privacy. It’s important that communities keep having open conversations about where that line should be.

    It isn't necessarily a linear correlation where you can pick the cutoff that best suits your personality and politics.

    The technology and the act of surveillance don't just slide you up the safety/privacy slope. They carry their own risks that can REDUCE safety while still paying the privacy trade off. And it is not predictable.

    And that (plus caring about people) is why I don't support the Leopards Eating Faces coalition even though I'm an old white educated native-born male USian.
