- wnight 15y agoTransparency up versus down. London now has only the wrong sort, for instance. They can watch you on almost any street but if you tried to record a police officer they'd arrest or add you to a watch list or something. Whereas if encryption and hidden cameras go far enough we'll be able to spy on the authorities as well as them spying on us, thus keeping things in check. These guys call call it sousveillance http://wearcam.org/sousveillance.htm http://wearcam.org/sousveillance.htm but I think they overthink the idea a little. Simply put, who watches the watchers? Unless it's me at some level I'm not funding/legitimizing the system.
