    Remember two decades ago when everyone clowned on London England for having widespread CCTV cameras and being a surveillance state.

    Fast forward to now. AI cameras everywhere, bulk data collection, bulk internet traffic collection, cellular phone account and ISP KYC requirements, ID verification at the OS level, people walking around with literal GPS tracking devices they can’t turn off, and a Federal workaround to the 4th Amendment by authorities simply purchasing all that data from commercial vendors.

    The worst part is the average person is so stupid or blackpilled that they won’t even push back on it or realize it’s a problem. So long as they can get their cheap garbage from TikTokShop.
