Everybody is a libertarian when their political opposition has power.
It's just the brown people who are put in detention centers, isn't it?

In reality - I think this will be far worse than that. Why send in an expensive soldiers or a cop when you could just filter in a drone
"Just trust us, the people on that boat were definitely smuggling drugs."
What the public does not understand though is that THEIR complicity and facilitation is not only integral, it is even necessary in a "democracy" where a psychological "consent" must be manufactured, not dissimilar to basic grooming tactics. And no, it's no coincidence that all the western leadership and institutions are effectively all various types of groomers, i.e., psychological manipulators and abusers.

If history has thought us anything, it has to be that capitalists have absolutely no spine and only think about profits, no matter what.
It's the government that wants unchecked power, no matter what. This is why people support the 2A, and why it was the 2nd most important thing to those who founded the country.
Surely in 2025 a ragtag group of people with some revolvers, pistols, hunting rifles, and a small minority owning assault rifles, with limited ammo will be able to fight against the most well-funded armed force with tanks, IFVs, assault helicopters, aircrafts, missiles, rockets, and military infantry armed to the gills wearing NVGs.
People who think 2A will do anything in case your government actually turns violent on you are just trying to maintain the illusion of control.

Oh, Jesus!! This f shameless pretention of doing something noble - barely helpful above normal practices btw. - while manipulating clueless users into turning on mass-surveillance is revolting and disgusting. And ordinary employees figured this out, phrased, created content, implemmented, pubished, and are maintaining this dirty practice. Many times with (very misplaced) pride. Shame on all of them actively participa…
I have a Ring. I got the email notifying me and was about to go disable it, but it doesn’t share anything. It says it will notify you that your camera detected the dog and then YOU choose to share the video or not. So I left it enabled, as it becomes a later choice. Effectively I’m not opted into sharing was my take.
At what point will the police request a warrant to run their own Search Party without consent?
This is why I never bought anything Amazon owned, other than Kindles; and I have dropped the latter, too. I was always suspicious of Ring and never understood the people using it.
I swapped out to the Logitech doorbell which I like better anyway

I have deniability with the phone. I can also just leave it at home if I want or turn it off entirely. That access should also be illegal without a warrant; however, this is far worse than cellular "metadata" tracking.
> or turn it off entirely That part you can't do. Unless the battery is removed, phone can be turned back on remotely.

Absolutely, I will be running PoE wherever possible, definitely for the doorbell. Not just because of Amazon drivers, I've read reports of burglars using WiFi jammers to make sure wireless cameras are useless during a break-in.
Cops will also go after your networking prior to busting down your door. Same applies regardless of a correct and valid warrant so do with that as you will. I'm sure the cops who trashed Afroman's place would have loved that ability.
However, I do not intend to make it easy to just grab my footage along with any other that can be found, without at least asking.

Many people (including in this website) are hard at work creating the torment nexus.
No doubt. The question is, is that the explicit goal, and if so, why? And if not, don't they consider the effects of their actions, if they aren't, why?
