- notahacker 11y agoUbiquitous CCTV would be a lot more unpopular if people looking to build general purpose people-tracking databases, create hit-lists of visitors to abortion clinics, gay bars or synagogues or make thrilling real-life-rape compilation videos found it easy to persuade owners of the footage to share it with them though. CCTV would also be even more unpopular if it came with sound and instead of recording largely uninteresting ongoings in public spaces, it was used to record intrusions into other people's houses at particularly stressful times and record their stuttering non-answers to very intimate questions and accusations they're often ultimately proved to be entirely innocent of.
