What part of this is humour? America has several death camps at the moment. People are actively disappearing from the system and can no longer be looked up. No one in the entire regime is able to locate them.
It’s a combination of two things, the subversion of expectation, which is a common device in jokes, and the criticism of authority, which is another, similarly common, one.
In my comment, I’m pointing out that these cameras are a risk for even broader abuses than just subpoenas, and compliance with law enforcement requests under the guise of finding lost family members.
The responder humorously twists my words to claim that it’s not a problem because the lost family members have already been swept up in an indiscriminate drag net, such that the cameras can not find them.
I was trying to point out that this feature may be even worse than that because it doesn’t even require a formal law enforcement request. If this becomes what it looks like, even private contractors will be able to access it without raising any alarms, further lowering the bar.
This won’t be abused at all /s
This isn’t new. These companies have been doing this for a long long time. They need to be stopped.
First it was subpoenas, then it was complying with law enforcement requests. I think the new development is that just anyone can do it.
No kidding, and the feature is on by default. It’ll be lost human family members next.
Won’t work, there are no doorbells in the death camps
There’s the unexpected dark humor FTW.

What do you personally think happened to them?

The joke is on the DHS, and not it’s victims.
They already partnered with flock last year, the same flock that shares with “law” enforcement

Yes, organized crime loses their marks they are shaking down, luckily if they are up to date on their ring subscription…
I hadn’t even considered this aspect. I guess we can kiss goodbye the witness protection program.
