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.

At this point nothing u can do but give up. We really should make an open source decentralised tracking system and track and dox literally everyone on the planet. A billion Penopticons in better than one. Let everyone track everyone.

What we’re missing is some sort of ai to do global image recognition and tracking for any Person of Interest. So let’s not invest in ai?

No lets build exactly that make it opensource cause mass outcry/suffering. This would theoreticly lead to demand to implement safeguards against such abuses.
