When is open season for flock cameras? Asking for a friend
It closes in 2776
Yep, that’s why I left most social media and try to keep things private. Not because i have anything to hide. I just don’t want everything I do, read, and say to be used against me or trigger hate-based attacks. These days everyone has at least one thing that some hate group would target them for since that’s how fascism works. Make everyone an enemy in small subgroups and trigger hate against that small subgroup whenever you need to distract from taking away rights or taking people’s money.
Plus you don’t know what you need to hide until it’s a problem with a future government. Look at what’s happening with ICE and immigrants right now. Based on America’s positive history with immigration, nobody in their right mind would have expected such a U-turn. See also Jews and personally identifiable census religious data during WWII.
Having no online profile would also be suspicious.
Your best bet is to maintain the profile of a harmless dimwit without a whiff class consciousness.

I can’t sleep anymore reading this stuff. The only chance that this can ever be regulated out of existence is through far reaching federal legislation that reinforces the 4th amendment in the digital age. And we know there is zero chance of that.
The public space has never included a true right to privacy but the raw intake and storage and analysis of your every biometric and existence to create a profile on every figure regardless of threat or action in society is a fucking Invasion of being.
When they remove peaceful options
The whole point is to change the risk calculations people make in order to make “civil” and “polite” actions such as protests, legislation, etc. more risky and therefore most people are less likely to engage in.
What these dumb asses don’t realize is that if the level of risk for the “peaceful” options rises to the same level as alternatives, which are arguably much more effective, then those are going to be the only recourse people have and the actions people will take.
I do believe your analysis is correct about there being zero chance of it being legislated away. So now what?
Remember all those dystopian movies that were trying to warn us? Well now they’re guides.
Please reference said movies
Anything simple enough for either of us to consciously understand would almost certainly be wrong
I really liked the idea of peaceful options I got to feel all star fleet and shit about it
relying on an unjust law system and corrupt politicians is a no starter. the only way is for the general public to stop consenting to it.
they sell us hard on nothing to fear/nothing to hide rhetoric for a reason.
Me: I don’t consent to invasion of my being.
General public: k.
E: Shareholders: Jack Nicholson nodding yes menacingly
even worse: I brought up flock cameras to an aquaintance and their response was essentially “why is that so bad, they already have all our data from our phones, what’s one more set of cameras”
“Benefiting private economic interests is absolutely one of the leading factors in creating these groups and organizations, and the public is all too happy to carry water for it,”
This sums up any of these private-public partnerships… Asset protection against primarily petty crime (while “shielding” behind terrorism), and increased camera-coverage at no cost to the taxpayer (to more efficiently treat symptoms, instead of recognizing problem causes: as to maintain the dysfunctional system, which disproportionately benefits a few). Respect to Albury for having a functional moral compass.
I’m tired boss…
