If you are NOT on a government watch list by now, you should be ashamed of yourself.
I was going to suggest that maybe a person managed to simply have absolutely zero online presence, but then I realized that having zero online presence probably gets you on a watchlist itself.
Too much online presence, watchlist
No online presence, believe it or not also watchlist
Moderate online presence? You guessed it.
straight to gel
This confusion of what is right and what is wrong happens when oppression is in control.
It doesn’t matter what you did, it was WRONG.
We are being oppressed by OUR government.
Watch lists are so 1937. The whole point of building datacenters for that kind of thing is to not have the separation between people on watch lists and people not on watch lists.
So nobody should be ashamed by your measure. We live in a wonderful time when, instead of selecting few suspicious individuals to monitor, you can monitor everyone automatically and don’t have that risk.
It’s like lossless encoding, like FLAC, versus lossy encoding, like MP3. It’s better to have the former if your resources allow it.
Watch lists have that downside of being a Russian roulette, what if your watch lists give you a wrong impression of the society outside the watch lists? You might think you have it under control, while you don’t.
With everyone being monitored if you think you have it under control, you really do.
That just was a bit too expensive, but times they are a-changing.
That’s really nice, isn’t it?
Or start small with the Tesseract blocklist
Hear me out:
Fuck ICE!
Yay I made it on the list! I hope you’re proud of me.
Good boy, or girl…good nullify3112.
The pedo government is monitoring **all **of your Tik-tok and Instagram accounts. Not just Anti-Flockers.
What the fuck do you think these data centers are actually for?
I played Deus Ex, taught me all I need to know about advanced AI agents and data centers.
What they have right now really is just a prototype of a much larger system
I learned from iron man. Jarvis was cool.
And discord and Snapchat
They can monitor deez nutz!
cops will be monitoring thier EX -wives, husbands, bf/gfs, children,etc.
What is Snowden up to btw?
Breaking into a mass surveillance network set up by a foreign government so we too can spy on your citizens
I want someone to flock my wife like this guy did to his wife
lol, the government is monitoring EVERYTHING. That’s what all the data centers are for. You can’t take a piss without big brother knowing about it.
One of the good things about having the moron for president is that things like this aren’t hidden.
I can’t help thinking that every other US government (and not just the US) would do this anyway, but would be more Clandestine about it.
Breaking: Spyware spies on you. More at 11.
I’ll just read about on tiktok I don’t have all day
these flock and AXON cameras were going to be used for things like this mostly.
If they monitor them the same way they monitor school shooters then there’s nothing to worry about.
No no, school shooters are a “whatever”, anti flock protesters are terrorists
See the difference?
I monitored their moms last night
Paintball guns are a tool for good.
an electric circular saw is more useful.
Or angle grinder.
A cordless sawzall of circular saw with a metal cutting blade is way faster.
I mean, hypothetically. I have a decent amount of experience with cutting pipes.
Sawzall takes 1.5 min. Circular saw is faster. Angle grinder with a cutting blade is also good.
This is what they are monitoring for, to try to match people up who might do vandalism on the cameras.
You gotta say “DEFINITELY NOBODY TIE BLACK GARBAGE BAGS OVER FLOCK CAMERA.”
Yes, but if we make them monitor everybody, then we can increase the signal to noise ratio so much that they can’t catch anybody.
I fear this is no longer true. Technology has trivialized the cost to surveil a country’s population. The U.S. will endlessly fund doing so.
I agree with @ji_reilly@lemmy.ml.
If it was a human that was reviewing all that footage, maybe but if it’s all automated by AI, especially as AI gets better, there is no noise. Only a camera logging everything you do in a searchable database.
Just in case you check here.
Fuck Flock. Fuck Axon. Fuck every bit of this bullshit.
I hope our names are touching in the watchlist
We can hold hands in the detention center. Jk. Unless…
Kiss under the gates of the gulag lol
What if we kissed on the government watch list?
