They are literally everywhere. I can’t go any place without being watched. I just want some privacy. The most alarming part is that they put cameras on all entrances and exits so they can know who’s entering or leaving. Why do they need to stalk me as I go about my day? The area I live in is overall pretty safe so I don’t see the justification.

I have also noticed that some people actually feel safe where there are cameras. I get that people can get scared but I don’t think creating a giant network of mass surveillance is the answer.

What is this dystopian future we have marched into.

    my mother has installed cameras in every room of her house except the bathroom. and external cameras. they are also internet connected. I tried to explain to her how these things are not secure and can easily be tapped into but she wouldn’t hear it

      Did you encourage her to put them in the bathroom and to install quality microphones everywhere?

        I encourage everyone to carry around an internet-connected audio-video listening device on their person at all times. Not only to have calls potentially tapped but also a microphone that can listen at any time and a non-removable battery.
