Pointing cameras at cameras? Terrorist organization
- Glant 8mo agoWho watches the watchmen? Terrorists
- mrguyorama 8mo agoThis film is dedicated to the brave freedom fighters of the Mujahideen!
- Fnoord 8mo agoHahaha, Rambo 3.
- Gibbon1 8mo agoThe thing is the billionaires are terrified of US. The point of these surveillance systems isn't to make us safer. Because we're actually pretty safe already. We're not going to be assassinated, kidnapped, or beaten because we pissed someone off. It's to make people like Garrett Langley feel protected from us.
- tavavex 8mo ago> The thing is the billionaires are terrified of US. Are they though? The odds of any kind of coordinated response that could seriously threaten the billionaires seem next-to-none. Flock seems to be a lot more offensive than defensive - it enables the targeting and mass surveillance in order to find and punish the 'right people', as well as mass tracking to create yet another datapoint to understand the way people move, think and coordinate. The defensive side is already covered through internet services, like social media. They don't have much to fear. I reckon that a powerful/rich enough person could kill a stranger on the street in plain view of a huge crowd and have absolutely nothing happen to them.
- Gibbon1 8mo agoFriend of mine used to work for a single digit billionaire. No one you know. His name barely comes up in a search. He said he found out after a few years that the guy had been kidnapped and held for ransom.
- direwolf20 8mo agoLuigi Mangione proved they're not safe.
- krapp 8mo agoNo he didn't. Luigi turned out to be an anomaly. He proved the public didn't have the stomach for revolution because none was forthcoming. He was reduced to a meme and thrown in prison.
- direwolf20 8mo agoHe allegedly murdered a CEO — regardless whether it was him or not, a bloodthirsty CEO was murdered by a random member of the public. Other bloodthirsty CEOs no longer feel safe from the public.
- krapp 8mo agoAnyone can get shot by a random member of the public, that's the price we all pay for our American freedoms. The fear (and some might say hope) was that Luigi represented something bigger, an actual dawning of class consciousness in the US, but he didn't. He was just a guy with a gun and a grudge and there are literally millions of those.
- direwolf20 8mo agoAnd some of them are turning on bloodthirsty CEOs, which didn't happen before.

- trinsic2 8mo agoNot yet, but with the right infrastructure, that could be a reality.
