    The simple fact of using the word “citizens” instead of people sounds awfully dystopian to me.

    Lets record everything CEOs and government officials do in their spare time, and lets see how long that lasts.

        would we care, though?

        we literally have hundreds of millions of documents between the epstein files and the freedom of information act files themselves detailing the behavior of the ruling class manipulating and manufacturing propaganda and we collectively ignore them nonetheless.

          Do we really care about any reality stars? Fire them out a cannon into a mountain all I care, wait that I’d watch closest to hit the bullseye with their billionaires body still screaming wins

    If you are always on your best behavior, doesn’t that also mean you are also on your worst behavior? Are there specific times to relax permitted?

    What is it about the plummeting rates of violent crime in the past few decades that called for this erosion of human dignity?

    Only the middle class will be worried about this. Larry was obviously never broke. When you’re broke with no options, you don’t care. What are they going to sue, sue you when you’re already in a stack of debt? Take away the house and car you don’t own? Get you removed from your crappy job you hate anyway? I don’t see that as a plan the works out like they expect it to. It’s only when you have something to lose you’re worried about losing things. When you’re starting with nothing, there’s nothing they can take from you. Their plan doesn’t account for that.

      the upper echelons of the middle class are the reason why this fuckery keeps going on.

    Also,

    “You already have zero privacy - get over it.” - Scott McNealy

    SM was founder of Sun Microsystems. Ironic part is… Sun had very little to do with the total destruction of privacy. Not compared to Google, Meta, Tiktok, and some 100’s of data broker companies nobody heard of but sit in the shadows and amass dossiers of every single human being.

    Best behavior for the cameras. While we find ways to hack the system, scramble facial recognition, create alternative spaces they can’t touch, etc. We’re not going to broadcast how we circumvent their constant onslaught of creeper bullshit.
