A Boring Dystopia

I really don't care what Amazon does with Ring's facial recognition. The populace doesnt give a fuck and trust me, I tried to give a damn but its like going up against a tide of stupidity that keeps smashing. No one bats an eye with Costco/WalMart/Target facial recognition software, let alone caring enough how companies like Apple sell your data or manipulate your wants/needs down to the pervasive marketing tactics that are threading the line of psyops.

Idiocracy came a lot sooner than expected and there is no closing that Pandora's box. I still try to refrain from and mask my digital footprint, but sadly with how how easily our data is passed around like a ladyboy aboard a navy ship, we're doomed

Ran into this one Halloween a few years ago. Fuckers had Halloween decorations out, seeming welcoming, and when my kid went up to the door they used their ring camera to make fun of him. Once society falls in the next year or two, that's where I'm going first.

So what happens to images of your face when they're stored? Who tf really knows. We do know these oligarchs will literally try to exploit and profit from literally anything and everything they get access to.

Some countries that aren't treated like a state run corporation are actually letting citizens copyright their own faces for their protection.

Dutch MPs want citizens to own the copyright to their faces

Americans are fucking weird, they piss and moan about speed and red light cameras, and claim they are unconstitutional. However, the Ring shit is good to go.

I don't know if it is the same brand, but my morning walks are cheered on by an increasing chorus/wave of "hello, you are currently being recorded". Weird dystopian vibes.

We need an anti-camera movement in this country

We need to normalize spray painting the lenses on these things, as well as painting "big brother" on doorways of those that own them. If you enable fascism, you should expect some minor vandalism.

My parents have one of these. 💀

Guess I'll be going into their place through the garage lmao

The problem is Amazon has this. I don lt care if my neighbors do this. But random corporations should not be involved.

Pray this isn't legal in the UK, under GDPR i don't think so but I'm not sure

And you're always seen as a "weirdo" or "crazy" or maybe even a thief if you want to opt out with a mask.

Can't we make necklaces of intense IR radiation that block out our faces? Or does that not work anymore?
