Time clocks and drug tests aren't exactly SV inventions. While there are many possible distopian outcomes to a lot of tech, suppression of the working class is hardly a new problem or the fault of SV.
- pmiller2 9y agoThe key words in the GP post were not "SV."
- wlesieutre 9y agoDid we read the same comment? > I'm sure SV is working hard to chip them, and do all sorts of other things to take away every ounce of privacy they have. It's pretty clear how someone would read that as an accusation of worker suppression being SV's fault. Sure, privacy is the general topic, but the whole comment was about invading privacy with "SV tech".
- pmiller2 9y agoCross out the words SV. Does the post retain its essential meaning? Yes: tech is being used to suppress privacy. It doesn't much matter if it comes from SV, Japan, or the moon.
- wlesieutre 9y agoIt goes from being a post blaming problems on SV to a post pointing out that there are problems. I like it better with SV removed, but that's not what the post is.
