Why do you care so much about what people said? Before video recording was a thing people didn't have to constantly watch their back and monitor what they were saying in fear of losing their jobs. What happened at a party, stayed at a party.
You may say it's important only for public officials. But why is it important? Because you're giving huge amount of power to single individuals and somehow we're taught that's a good thing - or at least that it's inevitable for keeping peace or to keep crime at bay.
What a load of bs. I hope distrust in centralisation increases. It should have been there in the first place.
- czl 2y agoYou raise a good point yet it is not what people say that matters but what it predicts about them. Modern society is built on trust and the things you want to know but can not observe can often be predicted from what you can observe such as things being said.
- The_Colonel 2y agoSpeeches of politicians is just one aspect of it. This technology makes it easier to both deny the reality and construct new ones. Beyond the horizon of your own eyes, there will be only subjective facts, fed to you by the media of your choosing. Is war in Ukraine raging, or is it all fake? It's a matter of opinion, not a fact you can establish (apart from shipping you and your discussion partner there to see it with your own eyes).
