The blimp operator, Kevin, says, “The idea was, do not let anyone know we exist.” This reminds me of Zuboff's emphasis in "The Age of Surveillance Capitalism" on keeping surveillance secret, both to minimize backlash and because people act differently when they are aware of being watched, which reduces the value of the surveillance for modeling behavior. This makes me hopeful for critical computing education which aims to make youth aware of the ways their tech watches them.
