  • You See, Not everyone lives in a dystopian surveillance dictatorship. At least for now. As far as im concerned, the “others are already doing it so what’s the harm” argument is not valid. Meta is a private company. They already use their shit app to track the offline connections anyone with Facebook/Instagram installed has and record everything from SSIDa to BT beacons and connect the data with multiple sources. Having a surveillance camera mounted on someone’s head that can send a live feed non-stop to a private company is not the same as someone blogging or taking a picture with a phone of a camera. You can see those actions and take appropriate actions. The way disabling the recording light is advertised as a service gives us a peek on the most practical use case for the actual consumer: being a creepy little fuck. Glassholes were the beginning, but at least you could spot them easily.

    Umm… censored media? More like Russian propaganda. And yes, I am aware that western propaganda exists and we consume it nevertheless. As far as I’m concerned the Russian interest to destabilize Europe (which is of course a reasonable thing to want on their side) is real and should not have a free pass. But you do you, just don’t frame it as west bad for censorship. How much of western media is freely accessible in Russia?
