If you ask a group of people if they are OK with having cameras in their toilets and bedrooms that could be watched by strangers many people would not agree. Many of the current surveillance proposals are trying to something very similar.
In some cases it might be a good idea to put people under such surveillance, but I think that authorities should be able to explain why this was a good decision.
- _trampeltier 5y agoThere are even simpler an non tech examples for nothing to hide. If you are going to a public toilet, you keep the door open or why do you wear clothes? Something to hide?
- stkdump 5y agoThere is a psychological difference between being watched by an abstract entity and some people working for it and being watched by every passer-by, including everyone in your own group. In that sense a camera is a more fitting comparison than leaving the door open.
- bserge 5y ago> authorities should be able to explain why this was a good decision. Yeah, you're not getting more than a boilerplate reply. Some people may suffer but that's a risk the authorities are willing to take. Hell, the people working there won't even know it. "It's the law", "such is the system", or at best "I'm just doing my job".
- beebeepka 5y agoYour last paragraph is confusing. The standard replies you came with do sound realistic but imply lack of concern as opposed to lack of knowledge.
