- Comment on Couldn't governments just remotely disable phones nearby to prevent evidence of police brutality from being recorded? 4 weeks ago:
you are basically correct, and i believe these concerns were raised when that apple patent hit the news.
essentially it boils down to the unpleasant fact that it’s simply currently not required.
-
recording & sharing recordings of such activities has already been outlawed in certain jurisdictions.
-
media & public narrative is already tightly controlled.
-
officers routinely get away with worse crimes against the public for the above reasons.
-
even if a handful of individuals face some vague justice, the public foots the bill with tax payer funded settlements.
one day it probably will happen though, especially as corporations merge further with our legal systems.

here it is folks, just in case anyone wondered, there is no ethical line they won't cross in their hunger for your intimate data
- Comment on A Reuters reporter found Amazon saved over 90,000 recordings over a three-and-a-half-year period, which included extended conversations that were outside the scope of a reasonable Alexa query. 2 years ago:
shocked! shocked i tell you!
- Comment on Do you think Technology makes us more lonely...? 2 years ago:
Agree with others in here: it depends what you do with it.
What is clear imo is we cannot trust anyone other than ourselves and our warm collective communities (online or otherwise), to shape the role technology plays in our lives.
We have access to amazing technology yet the majority waste this magnificent gift on what is basically toxic waste.
That's why places like lemmy give me hope, because more people here seem to "get it".
