    So this article went over everyone’s head??? The surveillance apparatus is the that they were able to be identified immediately. You guys prove the authors point. It’s so normalized it doesn’t seem out of place. Not only that they were blasted around the world just as fast.

    The post we’re in right now showing their names and faces. The comment section we’re in. This is part of the mass surveillance machine.

    The witch hunt is self evident but I suppose I need to be blunt. It’s because they’re deemed worthy of your scorn. So you accept the dystopian surveillance state because in this instance it has served your purpose.

    Crazy times.

      So they were identified by a government agency or an entity acting within that scope?

        dystopian surveillance state

        There I fixed it.

        Go to reddit and stay there if you want to debase yourself with that obtuse nonsense. Otherwise grow up.

          Facebook proved that well enough, the courts are supposed to be the remedy to that though.

      The main problem I see here is that people still don’t seem to understand what “public” means.

      That applies to doing shit in public, but also posting shit publically.

      If you do something in the open, expect that people will see it.

        You should be able to enjoy a concert without being put on display.

        I don’t want my picture taken when I’m high as fuck and make out with strangers while partying.

      Lol you really think a CEO, of a billion dollar company no less, being recognized on camera is “emblematic” of anything.

      Don’t pretend they are like us.

      Yes surveillance capitalism is ruining the society, but this is not it. Surprising bad take from 404media.
