I find it alarming that to "protect" women, men have to be surveilled secretly in all public places. This is way beyond dystopian.

AI and remote security personnel get to decide if someone is "a predator" and take 'em down preemptively if they look suspicious.

What could possibly go wrong?

This is global. My town is installing Flock cameras to "stop dangerous speeding and red-light running". Never mind that it also is networked with every single other camera, reads license plates, and use AI to track people everywhere they go. There's no danger, though. That's just coincidence...
