OC, being propagandized local fools, they had to include unverified vilification of Russia and China + a focus on other societies than our own. Only a few very low figures from US/UK etc, despite: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surveillance_capitalism

Jeebus, US/Western propaganda/mindset is thin and embarrassing !

I mean, if you think there is a low rate of cameras in Chinese cities you haven’t been there or spoken with anyone from there about it… yes the number is sensationalist and no way to verify

I don't know about Russia but China is a very strong surveillance state. The US is also pretty bad and currently getting worse so don't go on a BUT THE US!!!!! rant trying to defend China with whataboutism.
