Is there a distinction between privately run and state run CCTV?
Do Ring doorbells count in the survey, or is this just for the cameras that are monitored directly from the state police bunkers?
- Scoundreller 6y agoIunno, but if anything, state-run CCTV has a lot more accountability in most countries than anything private run.
- jaywalk 6y ago> Where possible, we have only included public CCTV cameras, including cameras installed on public buildings, cameras used by law enforcement, cameras installed on public transport, and traffic cameras with surveillance capabilities (i.e. automatic number plate recognition). However, in some instances, it may not be clear what cameras are included, meaning some private camera figures may also be included in the totals. We believe this may be the case for London and Sydney. https://www.comparitech.com/vpn-privacy/the-worlds-most-surveilled-cities/ https://www.comparitech.com/vpn-privacy/the-worlds-most-surv...
- sschueller 6y agoI don't think even Orwell thought people would actually pay private enterprises to install listening devices (Amazon Echo etc.) and cloud connected surveillance video (Ring etc.) devices in their homes.
- cmdshiftf4 6y agoAh, but Orwell had no idea how much convenience we can get in return for shedding our privacy and learning to love the state.
