  • I don’t think any business can be completely unregulated. Does that change the fact that private companies still have to operate under professional standards and official accountability? Plus, saying people who work for a private company are ‘just like you and me’ (implying they act like the general masses) is a stretch. People who work in government are also just regular human beings. Since private companies are in it for profit, isn’t it in their best interest to avoid shady practices? Doing illegal things would simply destroy their own business


  • Why treat the public and the government as identical? The government operates under professional standards and official accountability. It’s like saying that because I trust a doctor to perform surgery, I should let anyone cut into my body

    I get what you’re trying to do, you’re trying to show how uncomfortable it feels to lose privacy. But here’s see it: the masses can’t be held accountable if someone misuses your data. How would you even track down who abused the information once everyone has access to it?

    Plus, being forced to hand over your personal life alone while everyone else stays hidden isn’t the same as a universal system where everyone operates under the exact same standard rules.





  • I get ur concern about bad cop abusing authorit, cops who stalk people using state databases should be fired and prosecuted, but there a major difference between boycotting a technology entirely and putting better safety measure on it. People dont ban police databases, dispatch systems, or traffic cameras just because a bad cop might misuse them. Boycotting Flock ignores how effective it is at solving realtime hit and runs, violent crimes, and stolen vehicle cases,

    Plus, mass surveillance isn’t a problem for regular joes or working class people or non criminal, it’s a problem for the rich and powerful and criminal. I don’t know why we’re doing their dirty work by boycotting it.
