Is this a serious suggestion? I would never trust the government of any country to keep that feed secure or not abuse it.

  Sadly, they could be serious... https://www.cato.org/blog/nearly-third-gen-z-favors-home-government-surveillance-cameras-1 https://www.cato.org/blog/nearly-third-gen-z-favors-home-gov... Yes I know, Cato institute, but scary poll results none the less.

    > We asked this question as part of our survey on Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) in order to see whether there is a relationship between opinions on the government issuing a central bank digital currency and government installing cameras in homes. Man is it hard to take such a survey in good faith when you read things like that…

      Why? CBDCs despite the fancy window dressing are yet another attempt by the government to surveil and control us. Sure there are some nice features that would be very convenient for us all, but the real end goal is to replace physical currency. Cash allows for anonymous, nearly untraceable financial transactions. CBDCs keep a record of all transactions and like cameras in our houses, they allow the government to spy into our personal lives for "the greater good", "stopping terrorists", or "think of the children".
