Peter Diamandis is the latest tech executive to argue that global surveillance will make the world a better place, following Larry Ellison’s comments in 2024.
Is that why police officers act much more violently against people recording their activities and why reporters are intentionally being targeted by the military?
You first, Peter.
I do agree that humans behave better when being watched. The issue is that humans being watched aren’t the ones that need to be behaving better.
Historically speaking, the people that need to be watched is not the general populace, but the organizational managerial structure, such as your government figures or your law enforcement.
But instead, all of this surveillance is being pushed onto the general populace, in some case even in their own houses. While repeatedly the people who have actual control on regulation and enforcement are the ones that have the least amount of surveillance/privacy.
Like sure, public hearings are being live-streamed in some countries, but overall, there is way more surveillance on the everyday person than the people who actually should be behaving.
It’s gone to the point where I can’t even be sure of my own privacy in my own house. And that’s absolutely ridiculous.
Define “better”, and explain your reasoning.
As proof:
