It feels like we are finally at a tipping point of mass surveillance. The explosion in the prevalence of high quality street/traffic cameras, door bell cameras (that Amazon gives the police access to) and the growth of self driving cars (surveillance machines on wheels) are the final nails in the coffin of privacy which has been slowly dying since the start of the century.

It's drug dealers now. It's not difficult to see states using this to target women who travel for abortions, people traveling to political events etc.

Mark my words, it will be even worse: our "social score" will be affected by our behavior and travel patterns, following rules that nobody, even their creators, know or understand. "Something that you're doing on every day basis is linked to people who do harm to society, here's your -0.1 scp/day".

It's already being used to target women who travel for abortions. We're already there!

But any time surveillance legislation comes up, the police say they have a "going dark" problem. Surely they're not lying?
