Several of those are still currently science fiction and the rest are the same cop shit google wants to do to all of us, except you're the cop and you're only doing it to your family and employees. It's not better. It doesn't matter whether it's a paternalistic police state or literally you, dad, sitting in the seat of the panopticon. It's bad for the psyche of everyone surveilled in this way and it shouldn't be done. The fantasy that you'll use this in an emergency is the same one gun owners use to justify their decisions, and just as likely to come true.

There is a difference between the power that comes with the centralization of surveillance into a panopticon (by the state or a business) and localized home surveillance. There is also a difference in how consent works in those cases. > The fantasy that you’ll use this in an emergency Knowing how many people are in my home and where they are at 2am seems like information that would be extremely helpful. You’ll need to share data to backup your stance that I’m doing home security wrong. I’d love to learn how to do it better. Let’s not derail this into a conversation about guns, we can save that disagreement for another day.
