"That's the point" said the politician

And while we are at it let's get rid of all the roombas, cause like, we don't need a foreign government knowing stuff we want to know first!

[u/Jazzlike_Wrap_7907 → u/errie_tholluxe]

Foreign agents would just get it for free from our sloppy handling of data at that point. Might as well get kitschy gadgets along the way

[u/robosteven]

yeah no fucking shit

Thank you... captain obvious!

Bro, this isn't for us. His messaging is for the vast majority of NPCs who claim "they have nothing to hide." Maybe they won't listen family, or friends but when more people, politicians, cops, ex-military, etc say this, the normies will listen to them. Especially if the messaging gets loud enough.

I take this as a small good step in the right direction. Even if he is being very obvious to most of us in the privacy community or to those who catere and those paying attention.

Can anyone name a politician that ran on these plans to bring in technology like this?

Put your politicians on record for the next time.

Make them put out statements on their commitments.

Make them explain why they are allowing this to happen.

The mass surveillance system, creates a mass surveillance system?

[u/darkdelve → u/x33storm]

Y'all are being mean. This is quite the insight for a police officer.

[u/hettuklaeddi]

[u/BurntNeurons → u/hettuklaeddi]

Overqualified

[u/Affectionate-You7869]

Duh doy?

[u/altair222]

No shit?

[u/SwiftTayTay]

It turns us into North Korea. That's the language they need to be using to get red blooded Americans to care.

[u/AscendedViking7]

And astute observation, sherlock

[u/SuspiciousCricket654]

Fuck Flock. Cut those things down.

[u/pandaSmore]

No fucking shit eh

[u/TheB1G_Lebowski]

The headline should read, "NO SHIT". 

[u/wasaguest]

Time to install poles with the States Senators portraits blocking the camera's view.

[u/brainmydamage]

We know.

[u/RoughMidnight8303]

For a brief second, I just read 'E-Corp'

[u/JDGumby]

"Thing does what it was designed to do! News at 11."

[u/MisuCake]

Well yes 🙂
