Doesnt go exactly like that. More like: CCTV captures someone going to an area where known rebels or political activists live. (Look up videos on chinas face recognition, its insane.) Police decide to look through the person's zoom meeting transcripts, making a search on certain keywords. They find evidence of rebellious activities, and order further surveillance on the individual or arrest them.
- Igelau 7y agoIn a surveillance state of the scope you've described, triangulating the zoom transcripts of an international relative's course work back to someone you spotted on CCTV is still hardly worth the extra trouble. At that level of erosion of civil liberties, they can already send the jackboots to break down the door when they make the CCTV match. Don't find anything? You plant something or coerce them into ratting on someone else. Why would you go mining terabytes of data that's mostly boring meetings and calls from grandma?
- killjoywashere 7y agoIt's all take data collection and they mine it later. 10 years from now they go looking for video from you. And yes, if you don't think people have weird incentives and time on their hands, have a look at the shitshow of US Presidential politics.
