  That’s going to be unpopular to say around here, but the truth is that technology is largely amoral.

    While the tech may be amoral, its still implemented and utilized by pricks whose goal is control.

      Yup, and its important to communicate that or we risk losing our voice in the general public and look like Luddites

        Just FYI, using the term luddite derogatorily may not be as cool as you think it is. They were essentially an instance of organized labor flexing their power and not really “against technological advancement” like the term gets bandied about.

    The problem with surveillance tech is that even if it was initially implemented with the best intentions by good people that aren’t seeking to abuse it, it can change hands.

      Your phrasing seems to imply I said it was, but I never said that.

        The technology enables the surveillance state. Therefore the technology is not amoral.

  Thw issue youll run into is effectiveness at that small scale, sonyoull be tempted to share data with other systems like that, and eventually you’ll end up creating a different flock.

    The idea and motive and intention is great. The outcome is always evil.
