They are literally everywhere. I can’t go any place without being watched. I just want some privacy. The most alarming part is that they put cameras on all entrances and exits so they can know who’s entering or leaving. Why do they need to stalk me as I go about my day? The area I live in is overall pretty safe so I don’t see the justification.
I have also noticed that some people actually feel safe where there are cameras. I get that people can get scared but I don’t think creating a giant network of mass surveillance is the answer.
What is this dystopian future we have marched into.
I want to punch people in the throat who say “YOU HAVE NO EXPECTATION OF PRIVACY IN A PUBLIC PLACE” because like, yeah, I know, I’d fucking like to though.
In that case why can’t I photograph the cameras? They are in the public after all.
Who has told you that you can’t photograph the cameras?
I adamantly maintain that the US needs an entire movement to enshrine the right to privacy to its citizens in the constitution.
i dont know about your country, but in germany its regulated and in public places the footage is only allowed to be stored up to 72 hours
I was literally in a CAVE the other day and I looked up and saw “under video surveillance”. You can’t even escape it 100 meters under the earth.
Yes it was a privately owned attraction. That’s not an excuse.
privately owned
Nah sorry, conversation ends there.
Cameras on private property don’t affect you. Also, they are never because of the kindness of humanity. They’re always because someone was a bad neighbor/bad tourist/bad human. You can wish all you want for the state to not have you under surveillance - that’s fine. But if you wanna enter private property, you succumb to private rules. And if you don’t wanna do that, you can stay out.
