I'm sick and tied of cameras (lemmy.zip)

They are literally everywhere. I can't go any place without being watched. I just want some privacy. The most alarming part is that they put cameras on all entrances and exits so they can know who's entering or leaving. Why do they need to stalk me as I go about my day? The area I live in is overall pretty safe so I don't see the justification.

I have also noticed that some people actually feel safe where there are cameras. I get that people can get scared but I don't think creating a giant network of mass surveillance is the answer.

What is this dystopian future we have marched into.

The Airbnb one is definitely illegal in the US.

Depending where you live, if it looks inside your unit at all it's illegal

I wonder if there is some sort of malicious compliance you could do with cameras. Maybe find a way to trigger the detection alarm without actually breaking any rules.
