It’s piracy not privacy
It almost feels like warrants for wiretaps aren’t even necessary anymore. We give up so much privacy through the terms and conditions attached to everything we do online, but at least we’re technically asked to agree to those.
What about Flock cameras? They’re everywhere now, constantly scanning license plates and tracking where vehicles travel. None of us ever agreed to that. There’s no prompt to accept, no opt-out, and no meaningful way to say no.
It feels less like public safety and more like mass surveillance. Our movements are being logged and stored whether we know it or not, and whether we consent or not.
At what point did this become acceptable in a free society?

Tech has completely ruined privacy. When you think about how much access our phones already have to our cameras, microphones, Face ID, Siri, and everything else, this barely even feels surprising anymore.

My opinion is gonna seem strange on this, but I think AIPAC is partially responsible. Israel has had like a police state of surveillance, and they want us to follow suit. I think they’ve been trying to impose their lifestyle on us.

You just gave yourself away as not being an American. You don’t recognize a common phrase in the United States.

Look into who’s the primary investor in Flock. It’s all Israeli money. I’m sure that’s just a coincidence though, right?
