All this controversy is showing is if the surveillance device is obvious, people get upset. If its hidden, people seem to be okay with it.

Like, your tvs have cameras inside your home watching you and sending that to a corporation but some dude with glasses out in public is the line? Like, it makes zero sense to me. People embraced all these video, audio, location and other surveillance data gathering devices throughout their lives but the glasses are too far? None of this shit should be acceptable but if its hidden and it’s a government or corporation recording you, everyone is aokay with it.

Because America elected unreasonable leaders.

Have you dealt with a company before?

That such studies aren’t mandatory prior to general release was purchased by lobbyist for companies that want the freedom to risk our well being for profit.

Owners of the means of production will use that leverage to exploit you, every time.

Yeah because they see us as animals that they can hurt to enrich themselves. They don’t give a fuck what the consequences are to your children, that’s your problem. Just because they reshape the inescapable environment you raise your kids in, doesn’t mean they will ever see themselves as responsible for the effect that has on them, or you.

The mass of humanity needs to accept that private power concentrations are a threat to humanity and take steps to ensure they don’t exist. Private interest are hostile to community interests. There is no middle ground with selfishness, it is relentless. The most selfish people will always end up with the power if power is allowed to concentrate. Democracy was literally the remedy for it and we’ve allowed democracy to be removed from the hands of the many in favour of the few.

Private power and community power can not peacefully coexist.

Sacrificing what you want is the option.

I doubt offering AI services to the public is their goal.

This behavior from companies is so predictable that I’m perpetually disappointed in my fellow human beings for ever buying this equipment.

“…would make it more difficult for UK security and intelligence services to monitor communications…” As if they have a right to do so already.

It denies normal people the ability to retain their privacy from corporate and government surveillance.

Does the government have the right to monitor any and all communications corporate, private or political?

They don’t care how it affects normal people’s lives or what we sacrifice to pay for their incompetent leadership.

Spending money isn’t voting.

No you can’t personally decide who runs anything, in either case. But you get a vote when it’s a government, you get nothing when it’s private.

Yeah, but it might depend on the company bylaws even if its privately owned.

As a legal requirement.

But they elected and keep supporting them, news at 12.

You can not re-elect the ppl to decide who runs it…

How is it so expensive?
