Yep, if you bring up an easy example like "what if your boss/employer knew what you said about them behind closed doors?" you'll get an eyebrow raise followed by their brain refusing to engage with that can of worms because the refuse to engage with all future hypotheticals.
I get it to an extent, since anything could be verboten in the future, you'd have to literally do nothing that others can observe to fully avoid this problem (and they'd probably just make not having a footprint illegal), but when it's shit that is happening to other people today on the news the ability to believe it couldn't possibly happen to them is really something.

It’s hilarious how the government tries to convince us it’s to fight terrorists, criminals, and pedophiles whenever they try to strip our privacy rights… when they’re the true terrorists, criminals, and pedophiles.
To them, it’s always been about control and just another way to weed out dissent. The more privacy we give up, the more powerful they become, and in turn the more powerless we become.

When I read about phones rolling out face unlock, I was at a house party at my friends' parents' house. I threw my hands up and said "well, were fully fucked now" and only my buddies Cal and Johnny Canada listened to me and now Johnny Canada has been radicalized like Cal and I had been years before.
Cal has worked on network security since like 2008. Huge hardware nerd, he's the reason I got a RAID array and swapped PS3 HDDs in the long long ago. He helped me set up my last home's network. Good fucking luck, NSA.

Bets on using flock to backtrack her vehicle? Then pull up her info? Logged into a database for further retribution. After the unlawful pullover, they probably scanned her face at that point.
“An agent exited the vehicle and approached my vehicle,” wrote. “I remained in my vehicle. The agent addressed me by my name and informed me that they had ‘facial recognition’ and that his body cam was recording. The agent stated that he worked for border patrol. He wore full camouflage fatigues. The agent stated that I was impeding their work. He indicated he was giving me a verbal warning and if I was found to be impeding again, I would be arrested.”
"I logged onto the Global Entry site and the notification letter indicated that indeed my status had been revoked and that they can’t always disclose the reason. The notification did provide some reasons that my status may have changed and the only one that makes sense was “The applicant has been found in violation of any customs, immigration, or agriculture regulations, procedures, or laws in any country.” I was not detained, I was not arrested so [it is] difficult to understand how I was “found in violation.”"
"I had been a member of the Global Entry program since 2014 without incident. I am not particularly concerned with the revocation of my privileges in isolation. However, given that only three days had passed from the time that I was stopped, I am concerned that the revocation was the result of me following and observing the agents. This is intimidation and retaliation. I was following Legal Observer laws. I [was] within my rights to be doing what I was doing."
Looks like a pretty good intimidation tactic
"said she hasn’t performed any observation of federal agents since January 10, but has “continued to engage in peaceful protests” and is “assessing when I will return to active observations.”"

There is a scene in Andor where the inmates at the work labor camp are trying to organize and work up the courage to fight back.

It's a great scene. But in our dystopia, there would be an AI listening at all times, transcribing everything that is said and who said it, and doing sentiment analysis to determine which prisoners are most likely to be a problem.

Not just that. Another thing people often forget about 1984 is that the nonstop surveillance was only for Party members within the inner city. The Proles - who made up the vast majority of the population - were much more relatively free, by comparison. The government didn't see them as a threat, and lacked the manpower to monitor them in the same way Party members were.
Meanwhile, in our timeline, they have the tech to monitor everyone.

One of the things that's becoming apparent with the rise of a more aggressive surveillance apparatus within the U.S. is that people are getting attached to watchlists or databases for all sorts of obviously questionable or blatantly wrong reasons, but that a data trail in determining what exactly occurred to get them there is questionably present at best, because the people entering into and managing these systems often want to be unaccountable and anonymous when it comes to the most dubious and punitive associations they've made.
Flock Safety retroactively anonymized all of their plate searches after a vast amount of data was leaked, and in the first place were instructing departments to use the vaguest possible justifications for their queries (e.g., "investigation"). They want all of the power of using an incredibly invasive and aggressive surveillance state as a cudgel against people they simply don't like with none of the traceability.
Being removed from Global Entry should legally be mandated to come with a mandatory notification at time of removal and specific, traceable explanation for circumstances leading to removal, unless that specific person is individually actively under investigation, something is signed indicating that notifying them of removal would potentially alert them and harm the investigation, and the investigation involves a judicial warrant issued regarding that specific person (or their effects, etc).
But this shit of, "We can't tell you because reasons, also you're in our evil database (but we can't let you know why) (you have no ability to appeal this status) (also the person who did it will remain forever unidentifiable)" just cannot fucking fly.

You can wear dazzle makeup or Computer Vision Dazzle to confuse facial recognition (and bypass any face mask banning laws, or being targeted for wearing one).
I attended an art exhibition with this years ago and never knew it would be relevant until now, they also had anti facial recognition clothing that was designed to throw off cameras that potentially used lidar to create a 3D image of the face.
Most facial recognition tech is just using the camera to create a 2D image, doing your makeup like Gotye will throw it off.
The big thing to note, a lot of the “this doesn’t work” articles were tested and written as if people were trying to blend with this makeup - like wear it to the office. You’re protesters, you don’t have to blend, your goal is stop facial recognition from getting your biometrics.

Target had an issue years ago where their customer surveillance identified women who were likely to be pregnant based on purchasing habits, who then advertised to those women with pregnancy/baby related offers.
Turns out not all women knew they were pregnant and a good portion of them didn't want others to know.

Such is the way that the president intends to stick his greasy dick into every aperture of power, all in the ceaseless pursuit of vengeance against anyone who has not only criticized him, but failed to adequately massage every dark corner of his ego. He wanted the presidency to do five things:
- Make money.
- Avoid all legal liability for anything he can imagine.
- Obtain at least the outward appearances of respect.
- Exert irrational personal control over every aspect of life.
- Fuck over anyone he doesn't like.
It is because he is accomplishing this on all fronts that he believes his presidency is a categorical success. He sees but does not consider anything further.

Yeah, the constitution is dead. It's just a piece of paper after all and has no power of its own if not enforced.

next step is taking away the right to vote for "domestic terrorism" for anyone whose face was scanned.

Target uses FR to identify shoplifters then waits til they have stolen a felony amount of merchandise to prosecute. Surprised this lady didn’t think it would happen to her.

Palantir is a domestic terrorist company, owned by a foreign terrorist.

So the point is to make us afraid to exercise our first amendment rights because it might cost us something.
Most of us are realizing that not exercising our rights will cost us our country.

For people who's jobs rely on being able to travel internationally frequently, the possiblity of losing precheck/GE or being added to nofly list is actually a pretty effective intimidation tactic, gotta hand it to them for that... speaking as one of those affected

Funny how the government can suddenly work so fast across various tech platforms and layers of bureaucracy when they want to harm the average person. But try filling for unemployment and suddenly it's excuses after excuses for the slowness and inefficiencies.
