I can't tell if the Flock hysteria is a red herring. I feel like it's a distraction.
There are camera lights all over NYC watching me. Everyone has a Ring camera, don't they sell data to 3rd parties? My cars connected services sells my data to law enforcement, insurance etc.
Edit- I also saw Tucker Carlson do a podcast against Flock. But this guy is in bed with Palantir. Isn't Palantir spying on us also? I'm so confused.
This feels like lets sacrifice Flock so the peasants think we did something about privacy and surveillance even though it's barely a drop in the bucket.
The communication to the public wasn't honest enough. My parents are very much by the book. They follow instructions. They were very surprised to get Covid 3 times after following their vaccination and booster schedule.
It wasn't made clear enough to the public that these shots were not sterilizing vaccines.
We're cooked. The young kids I teach are unfortunately completely accustomed to go guardian spying on them at school. The admin constantly reinforce the need to dissect the internet, treat Chromebooks as media consumption devices, not computers. I hear it will be even worse here next year. Not sure how.
These people are obsessed with risk mitigation that it's not even worth having tech class anymore. No risk. 100% control all the time.
Deeply pessimistic. I'm of the view that the powerful are extracting less and less capital from the average person. It doesn't seem worth it to them.
So housing and now cars are marketed to the rich and wealthy, we're losing things we took for granted.
Anonymity is basically dead on the internet. Worse being they don't just want my ID to participate but scans of my face, God knows who they are selling this data too.
We have less and less agency over anything. In the U.S both political parties are essentially the same. If you are an outsider like Massie, Planter or Omar they will successfully destroy your ability to represent the public. The game is rigged.
The bad times will continue and worsen until a cataclysmic global event resets the system. We'll see.
Police state against my enemies but not me and the good guys. It's all so tiresome.
