  • the viral Halloween campaign is pushing the backlash into far more extreme territory

    Wut. No.

    Extreme is building a network of hundreds of thousands of cameras that are used to lock a woman in a cage for traveling to exercise her abortion rights.

    Extreme is cops using taxpayer dollars to deploy a network of hundreds of thousands of cameras that they then use to stalk women they want to abuse.

    Extreme is building a network of hundreds of thousands of cameras and processing its data with AI systems that have false-positives of plate recognition, leading heavily armed police to attack innocent drivers.

    Extreme is leaving these cameras up. Taking them down is a return to normalcy.



  • Sorry to take the pervert spin, but John Oliver showed us during the Snowden revolutions that if you frame this sort of news in the narrative of “the government is looking at my naked body during sexual exchanges without my consent”, then people will be much more outraged.

    Seems like the long term solution to this is to make BFI data encrypted.

    If this research gets properly picked up by the press and interpreted and written about from a “the gov can watch you having sex using your smart fridge” then there may be pressure on the WiFi standard to make broadcasting unencrypted BFI illegal in future devices
