The only thing it will do is to further reduce our privacy and expose our data to big corpos

Oh that's awesome I didn't realize cameras are able to create a system where the basic necessities of life aren't locked down by money, where people aren't being disenfranchised/marginalized/exploited and not having to fend out for themselves figuring out any way to survive but instead working together to answer everybody's needs

This just in, Ring's CEO admits to being a complete idiot. Look at the cameras in the UK. Mass surveillance does not stop crime.

Lol. GTFO here ya clown. Anyone that lives in a big city knows that cameras don't stop crimes. Tweekers, dirty cops, politicians... none of em give a shit if they're on camera.

Countries with extensive cctv networks still have lots of crime, almost like surveillance is the wrong answer to lowering crime or something

[–] shiftymccool@programming.dev 2 points 3 hours ago

It's a good answer if your goal isn't actually to lower crime but you say it is so you can add buttloads of surveillance for data gathering

[–] crunchy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

It's a good answer if you want to watch all the crime that's still happening

[–] birdwing@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 6 hours ago

Until police selectively disables some cameras whenever it goes outside.

Honestly if we want crime to go down we should just stop reporting it.

Obvious spyware grift is obvious.

It's owned by Amazon. A no brainer to avoid, really

I'm just starting reading the book The Circle and I just got to the post where they announced the same thing.

We are just so fucked from every angle, from this to Teams reporting everything you do to the man to everything else.
