There are plenty of places. Under a forest canopy. Underground, under a large overhang from a cliff. And those are just the types of privacy you don't create for yourself, or you don't naturally get through large structures.
They aren't necessarily convenient places, but it's not like you can't find any privacy just because there are cameras up high pointing down. It's actually probably far less intrusive and privacy destroying than the electronic device you likely carry everywhere with you that reports you location and could (if it doesn't already) keep track of when it can't report and relay it when it can again.
If you think the trade-offs of that make it worthwhile most the time, consider that there may be trade-offs here that are positive that you are discounting with what we're discussing here.
- kazinator 3y agoHow about: walkie-talkie with decent crypto? Suppose we design walkie talkies such that two or more units can be hooked up together in a daisy chain. While the devices are daisy chained, a button can be pressed on the head walkie talkie which will generate a random symmetric key, like 256 bit AES or whatever. This is sent over the daisy-chained bus to all the others. They flash an LED or something to indicate they accepted the key. After that they can be split up and will all use that key.
- mike_d 3y agoEveryone has a walkie-talkie with decent crypto in their pocket already. The problem is portable radios have limited transmission range, so you'd need some sort of a ... maybe network of towers that could pick up and re-broadcast the signal? Hmm.
