Obvious spyware grift is obvious.

Hey, how about zeroing out wage theft?

FoxyFerengi@startrek.website on 23 Oct 2025 02:21 next collapse

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

philophilsaurus@sh.itjust.works on 23 Oct 2025 05:03 next collapse

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

How much good did it make in all these years before tv?

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

Until police selectively disables some cameras whenever it goes outside.

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

rauls5@lemmy.zip on 23 Oct 2025 03:09 next collapse

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

If you’re in the UK could you get prosecuted for saying something “grossly offensive” around one of those ring door bells?

this man’s face looks like about to emit a nasal laughter while he plugs a ring camera into a UPS, singlehandedly putting humanity’s most secured military zones to shame

A famous criminal lawyer in Australia told me that CCTV is a bluff. The perpetrator merely needs to deny it is them.

My friend employed an expert witness to perform computerized facial pattern recognition but the other party got their own “expert” to counter it.
