alt Hacker NewsI wonder if there isn't a case to be made for some really bad faith projects as demonstrators for just how creepy this shit is.
Privacy advocacy orgs should have contests for tracking people using publicaly available video feeds, or something of the sort.
Let people search their license plate to see how easy it is to track all of your movements. Maybe put up a few high res webcams in the vicinity of a legislature building for maximum effect.
I don't have much hope in that approach. It might get some attention and trend for a day/week or so, but nothing happens and people move on to the next thing and the camera's remain
Also, practically, the advocacy groups would need to get access to the surveillance feeds or deploy their own hardware - which I just don't see happening
