Yeah.
Right.
If we had perfect surveillance, we could live in a country with very little crime, but it would certainly violate some of our constitutional principles.
I think the physicality does play a role here.
You know, so many of our privacy concerns are around invisible tracking and data collection that happens online.
And this time you can actually see it and how and where it's happening.
But I also think there are bigger issues at play here.
Part of it is that private companies have stepped in to do surveillance that previously the government would have been forbidden from doing.
And I saw this before covering ClearView AI, this company that scraped everybody's photos to build a facial recognition app that police could use to identify people.
Sure.
It's the same thing with Flock.
You know, they've created this huge database.
And then they sell it to law enforcement so they can just use it without getting a warrant.
And it's also just this growing amount of technology.
There's so many new ways to track us, to observe us, to create these running databases that are so huge.
And I think this one kind of very slowly crept up on us.
It was like people weren't paying enough attention to flock, and then all of a sudden we realize there's a hundred and twenty thousand cameras across the country.
And as one source put it to me, we're just sleepwalking into this surveillance state where it's just too easy to know everything about us.
You're welcome.
