The Capytistas, a secretive group claiming more than $1.2 million in backing, started with Elon Musk and Tesla’s board. Members argue that those who buy political power deserve the scrutiny they’ll impose.

I support more public surveillance (although I don't know whether or not Flock specifically does a good job of it) but I recognize that controversial famous people are in fact in a lot more danger from lunatics than the average person is, and here, despite the denials of the people intending to do this, the intent is clearly to increase that danger.

    What's wrong with increasing danger for enemies?

    Enemies have a moral obligation to kill one another. Conservative oligarchs are doing everything they can to get rich from the oppression and death of the public. They are killing the public. The public should defend itself from its enemy.

    Why do you support more public surveillance? I am asking this in good faith and will not even attempt to argue against your position. I just don't think I have ever seen a person outside of a scripted event say those words in that order and my curiosity is overpowering.

    I don't see the connection between public surveillance and oppression that most other people here apparently see. With all other things equal, I'd rather not have the government know where I drive, simply because I enjoy having privacy in that domain for its own sake. However, I'm not afraid that the government will use this information to oppress me. (An oppressive government can oppress me whether or not I've actually done anything illegal, so the surveillance doesn't make much difference.) And in the absence of that concern about oppression, I value the potential to reduce crime more than I value my privacy while in public (something of a contradiction in terms).
