It still blows my mind when people tell me a car is "freedom". Yeah, the freedom to be tracked at all times by _multiple_ public and private organizations. So when you build a public institution that can only be accessed by car, congrats! Surveillance is the price of entry now.
- davemp 7mo agoDo you walk around with rotating face coverings and disguise your gait? The onus is on the organizations spying on the public and the Govt. for letting them do it.
- pkulak 7mo agoStill doesn't change the fact that after my kid walks to school, there's no database that school can query to figure out his exact route there. It's one thing to snap a frame of a license plate on a freeway that the entire city uses. It's another to get a positive face detection of one kid out of a whole city, who is probably wearing a hood and staring at the ground, while walking down quiet neighborhood streets on a random side of the road under tree cover for 80% of the time. Gait is even harder.

- gib444 7mo agoSurveillance is part of public transport more and more too Plus everyone carries a tracking device in their pocket regardless of mode of transport anyway (increasingly becoming the best or only way to get tickets)
