I'm sick and tied of cameras (lemmy.zip)

They are literally everywhere. I can't go any place without being watched. I just want some privacy. The most alarming part is that they put cameras on all entrances and exits so they can know who's entering or leaving. Why do they need to stalk me as I go about my day? The area I live in is overall pretty safe so I don't see the justification.

I have also noticed that some people actually feel safe where there are cameras. I get that people can get scared but I don't think creating a giant network of mass surveillance is the answer.

What is this dystopian future we have marched into.

Nah sorry, conversation ends there.

Cameras on private property don't affect you. Also, they are never because of the kindness of humanity. They're always because someone was a bad neighbor/bad tourist/bad human. You can wish all you want for the state to not have you under surveillance - that's fine. But if you wanna enter private property, you succumb to private rules. And if you don't wanna do that, you can stay out.
