Transparency is the solution. Really. If you are on the display, there would be no room to commit crime. Dash cams, body cams are all great examples, where trabsparency prevents power abuse.
I would suggest that if you‘d have to forever open all of your bank accounts and history whenever you assume a high ranking public service role - there would be only a little way for corruption „services“, as you cannot hoard non-monetary goods as much as you can hoard cash
- ttyprintk 5y agoThere’s another kind of transparency that’s harmful. We have a face-recognition database that can conclude a particular woman was arrested for sex work. There might be some suggestion she was trafficked, and that conclusion comes from her activity trying to keep a low profile. Celebrities (who otherwise have no background in the side-effects) promote this technique and police departments in large, religiously conservative countries use it. I wonder if it harms more than it helps.
- yetihehe 5y agoYeah, we should not strive for transparency everywhere, but for those in power. More power = more possibilities for corruption = should be more accountable. Ability to do SOME level of against-law things should be upheld, because law itself is not perfect and doesn't predict every situation.
- Koiwai 5y agoTransparency can not be implemented effectively against power, since power is power. On the contrary, it could be easily implemented on people not in power to prevent uprising.
