hee hee hoo hoo you should definitely bring the self-surveillance device that is registered in your name, covered in cameras, and reports its location at all times to a legally dubious event

great plan

    surveillance will be used to fuck us hard if we ever become a problem. i wouldnt be surprised if they are keeping tabs on a lot of us, remember the snowden leaks and how they keep an eye on the planet, directly from the servers.

    only trust selfhosted and completely open source apps, and even then they can exploit almost every device with cyber weapons if they need to track anyone specific. we make fun of ai but its an excellent tool to sift through data to keep us in check. we have to come u**p with and use good alternatives.

    we let them fucking build this panopticon around us and we will pay the price. its not gonna be like 100yrs ago when workers could just scurry off into the void, they have facial recognition everywhere now. i know many here might not understand the gravity of surveillance but we havent seen the start of it.

    they will 100% be very prepared to target anyone challenging the status quo in an unprecedented way.
