Flock cameras should be illegal, and it would be better if they were all destroyed.
They do so much damage to privacy. There’s no way these things should exist.
Okay but hear me out, how would we craft a world that combined all of the dystopias science fiction warned us against if we left out mass surveillance?
You just gotta get creative. What if we had a lotto system, where every day one person gets a million bucks, and fifty people get to do forced labor for the rest of their life? We wouldn’t need surveillance, we’d just have to tell them we’re watching and let the RNG do all the work instead.
Delete your comment before they actually consider doing this
And by RNG, we mean ol’ Larry. Don’t worry citizen, it’s purely coincidence that all of the winners are friends of his, and 90% of the laborers have brown skin.
Uh oh I think you’ve gone and added a new dystopia that we’ll need to incorporate:( I’d read it though, solid premise
Can you ask for the Police chief data?
