Comment on Flock Exposed Its AI-Powered Cameras to the Internet. 404 Media Tracked Themselves.
Ledivin@lemmy.world 4 days agoA honest person has right to live without being tracked.
The implied corrolary here is that a dishonest person doesn’t have this right? How is one determined to be dishonest?

It’s more of an emotional antipode of how tracking everyone is justified - “you have nothing to fear if you have nothing to hide” and all such.
Whether, say, a convicted rapist (I suppose that’s dishonest enough) should be tracked or not is a question in the system of values my previous comment represents.
First, whether them being a confirmed (by a proven deed) threat justifies tracking them, second, whether tracking them violates rights of those around them - their coworkers, their family members, their friends, and so on, third, whether it’s possible to make tools for tracking them without introducing a technical possibility of tracking random people.
Second and third are not the same, second is about how tracking technically only them exposes those on their social graph, third is about initially illegal, but technically possible use, that would eventually become legal, because of slippery slopes.
