He (oh he is you, OP) has got a lot of different projects, including one that was tracking people on EarthCam streams and trying to find their Instagram post (or the other way around):

I wonder why you self-promote and repost your "old" stuff though..

Please do this for congress!! It would be fascinating to see stats posted for each person, etc. BUT more interesting would be the response of the politicians. Will they use their devices less, or will the cameras be ordered turned off and the live stream halted?

Fun, but also kind of a dick move to apply bossware to more people; the phone is where the real politics happens.

No, if anything, all that stuff regular people are subjected to, must be now be used against people in power just to let them feel the weight of reality they have created. It is not that dissimilar to how Musk flights were tracked by a bot on Twitter not that long ago.

Is it a dick move? Sure, but I am tired of there being two set of rules for those with power and those without it.
