I'm sick and tied of cameras (lemmy.zip)

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.

I adamantly maintain that the US needs an entire movement to enshrine the right to privacy to its citizens in the constitution.

Including medical privacy. The forced birthers can fuck right off about knowing my wife’s menstrual cycle.

I've been wondering how far I could get making a pitch for religious freedom from advertising. Should possibly think about it as religious freedom from tracking in general.
