There's a general reaction that big government is bad, more tracking is bad. Norway ranks highly in most metrics of development and quality of life. Perhaps in a high trust society this type of data collection is a positive.
- mdmglr 4y agoWhat do you mean by “high trust society”? The people trust the government agencies? I agree data collection can be positive. I think next they should start collecting any tweet, comment, or text file citizens write so they can see how good the public education system is doing. Actually the state should run an SSO service. Every computer, phone, tv and device must use the states SSO so that the person behind the device is tracked. State should also run an MDM solution. Every Smart watch should send all vitals to see how good nutrition is. Add microphones and camera everywhere to see if any crime is happening. (If you can’t tell by now I’m not being serious.)
