The UK police are on their backsides after decades of cuts to workforce. Society is not protected by cameras. People wear masks or hoodies when they mug old ladies. We need bobbies on the street.
Just for your info, There are alternative YouTube clients that allow you to bypass all the ads. Working great on Windows and Android. When you update uBlock Origin, it works on browsers as well.
If I have cameras… I really don’t mind supplying the footage if police ask. But I really would like that they ask. And I REALLY don’t want them to have footage that they don’t ask for and don’t obtain a warrant for.
How does this Fusus get access to private security camera feeds? I would assume companies and citizens will have to opt in to the sharing? www.fusus.com
This is why I refuse to own Ring cameras. Any company that has a program at all to share with the police is a nope from me. I don’t care if they say it’s opt in, it won’t be.
I wonder how disastrously bad things will need to get before it finally breaks through into public consciousness that maybe putting surveillance cameras everywhere was a bad idea. I expect we’ll find out in a couple of decades.
I’m really unsure of how this will play out. Gen Z seems to be way more okay with stuff like this and I think it’s just a general mindset shift that I don’t really see changing. Gen Z tends to constantly share their location with every acquaintance, on snapchat, etc all the time.
As much as stuff like this freaks me out and seems many steps too far, younger generations don’t, so I feel this is going to get worse over time, not better.
The real issue is that people have become so soft, so INCREDIBLY dependant on convenience, that they have given up all control. Having autonomy/privacy/ownership over your own environment is just too much work. It’s easier to just let someone else handle the surveillance system for you. What could go wrong?
This issue of complacency plagues just about everything, from cloud computing and banking to transportation and housing.
I filed the same complaint at the Austrian data privacy agency and asked them to coordinate with the Irish one. You should do the same in your European nation.
