We've slowly given away every last shred of privacy and have no increased security or happiness from it. In fact I believe our safety and security is FAR worse under mass surveillance than if we simply "did nothing". Surveillance and police and punishment do not really stop crime or help protect anyone, it just opens up dozens of other avenues for harm. Also, I don't know about you guys, but I feel icky being out in public now. I'm so painfully aware that I'm being filmed from 15 different angles as I walk or drive or do anything, I feel like I'm being stalked and it's creepy. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [+] godsammitdam@lemmy.zip 1 point 5 months ago* (1 child) [removed by mod] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] Colonel_Panic_@eviltoast.org 2 points 5 months ago Even better idea for a new fashion trend.
