No, this is another "new technology to spy on us" thread.
Fact: Advancing technology makes widespread surveillance logistically and economically feasible.
Fact: Privacy today is at an all time low, and is only getting much, much worse at an alarming rate.
Fact: Every single bit of technology currently used for these intrusive and questionable purposes was implemented for some benign purpose, then expanded.
I can give example after example of this to prove these claims: SSN, red light cameras, DNA analysis, credit ratings, databases, EZ-Pass, etc... have all been used for surveillance beyond their original intent.
After years and years of seeing the same exact methods used to pry and spy into our lives, a clear pattern of abuse is evident to all but the most obtuse person. Are we not supposed to notice this, and not take alarm as it continues?
Enter you and a couple other jokers to this thread. Perfectly rational and logical concerns about rapidly disappearing privacy are spun into wild eyed conspiracy theories. Very real observations about rampant privacy abuses are to be seen as absurd as Elvis sightings and alien abductions. The only people on this thread to entertain such bizaar thoughts have been those in favor of this new technology.
I suspect you do this to discredit us, and to make us look like fools for taking the time to express concern for our liberty. Well, now I've come right out and called you on it. You can debate the very real privacy issues at stake here, or continue with your juvenile illuminati and tin foil hat jokes. Just don't expect anyone to take you seriously.
