Title: Big Brother surveillance
Post by: eelstrebor1 on December 14, 2018, 08:11:23 AM: https://www.foxnews.com/tech/aclu-slams-nightmarish-amazon-patent-application-to-bring-facial-recognition-to-your-front-door

Some good comes out of technology like this but there will be negative aspects also. They'll be watching everyone with this. Sounds like the lead-in to "Person of Interest". Too bad we have so many invasive technologies being developed. Of course, someone always says if you're not doing anything wrong you have nothing to worry about. Some behaviors are definitely wrong but other actions are subjective. Kinda like: what is a common-sense gun law? I shouldn't have posted this since "Samaritan" is watching.

When the leftist socialist communists feel that they have enough strength, they will come hunting for me and my kind. they know they will not find me curled up in the fetal position hugging my Teddy Bear and praying. It won't matter to them since they will have the law on their side by that time. I will have Sam Colt and the Minutemen with me!!

Because, identity politics. That's the problem. The two "official" political parties are really just tribes in the same Uniparty. Never mind that the largest group nationally is Independent, at something like 42% of all registered voters.

Might as well be chanting "tastes great" or "less filling"...or maybe it should be "four legs good, two legs bad". ;)
