Mass surveillance is an attempt to make a high trust society artificially out of a low trust one.
It somewhat kind of works, which is the problem. The real solution is deeper, and harder, and longer.
- martin-t 1y agoNobody wants to talk about the real solution because it involves making all social relations based on consent. Choosing not just your partners but classmates, teachers, colleagues, and neighbors. First, it's less efficient. But most importantly, it involves making value judgements of other people - identifying those who cause most conflict in society and not consenting to their interactions with us - not consenting to their participation. And that's a no-go because we're all supposed to believe we're all equal.
