Who could have guessed that all the surveilance would be used by fascism? Ohh wait, everybody could have.
I think we've known this about Ring cameras for awhile now at least. Lowkey I kinda seethe about any neighbors buying that spyware shit. It's not like the fucking cops give a singular shit about home robberies anyways.
But when you do experience a home invasion they will blame you not installing Spyware on your front door for why they won't bother investigating.
And if you do have said spyware, the robber could be holding up his drivers license reciting his social security number while doing it on video and the cops still wouldn't bother pursuing the lead.
Absolutely. Anything that can be hacked by some uneducated douche is going to be exploited by the government.
The thing is that nobody is fighting it.
Americans won't fight it. Dipshits keep saying that there will be a civil war if things escalate. That will never happend. The Trump protests have been pitiful.
They have a second amendment for just such an occasion, but they allowed their first amendment to be limited against calling for rebellion. Now the guns just kill the plebs, kids and bystanders.
Or the 2A people are perfectly content with their place in a fascist society.
All is a bit of a stretch. I imagine a big chunk of surveillance is privately owned and not even on the network. At least the cast majority I have installed over the years are usually isolated or standalone networks.
