Japan is exporting it's AI-enhanced crime prediction platform across LatAm after successfully deploying it in Tokyo [0]. Japan is doing similar work to analyze financial transactions [1]. South Korea has also deployed a similar surveillance platform called Dejaview [2]. Even Finland has been deploying surveillance camera fusion centers [3] The brutal reality is everyone is doing this and there's nothing you can do about it. National Security trumps all other concerns (even the GDPR exempts governments who argue their data collection is done for National Security reasons), especially in a world as unstable as today.

  Depending on the society. Societies that are strongly collectivist in nature tend to align closer with expanded state powers and don't view it as an affront. The techno-individualist subculture that is common on HN and Reddit is that - a subculture. Techno-individualism cannot coexist with collectivist culture where the primacy of the state is held as sacrosanct and supreme. And now that countries like Russia [0], Iran [1], and China [2] have been expanding hybrid warfare capabilities across the West - especially now that Europe is now expeiencing the largest conventional war since WW2 - we need to recognize that we are no long in a state of peace.

> world as unstable as today The world is the most stable and peaceful it's been in decades if not longer. What is your evidence that the world is unstable?
