Puddle has been wet for a while, infact, it’s practically almost an inland ocean, why do you think we’re funding drone wars? Ai computing? Quantum computers? tactical robotics? Surveilence companies like Pegasus, Blackrock, Palantir, Even our our domestic surveilence is getting a larger check than defense. It’s a very deliberate “funding” of institutions that ultimately give the police an upperhand, not saying that the police are directly funding these institutions, but rather the state, although not much when it comes to anything outside the defense budget.
There’s a reason why privacy advocates are for alternative tech, and that’s because since 9/11, corporations have become “lobbied” for lack of a better word, to include backdoors and implement certain tech to aid a surveilence state, such as the removal of headphone jacks, the endorsement of useless and extremely vulnerable tech that’s more energy wasting, blutooth products (yeah i have a problem with it, everyone should), fingerprint sensors, front and back facing cameras, artificial intelligence (yes even the older models.), and even going as far as to add metadata to photos that give your exact geolocation data.
Don’t even get me started on the invasive software that comes with the tech, like auto generated albums, or auto editing photos, the such, it pisses me off that we let these things happen. Alternative tech makes it much harder to intercept such vulnerable information, ofcourse, it won’t completely stop it, but it mitigates how much they can swipe under your nose.
Not only that, but check upon the “Blue Shield Act,” it explains the motive for corruption within the american institutions of police, hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil. It’s the common trope for the kinds of psychopaths that would be okay with doing the job in the first place. If there’s one thing that makes their job easier, it’s definitely going to be you in cuffs staying silent, so why try to steer away from cutting corners? We’re the law, what we say is final. Until it isn’t ofcourse…
But that’s the problem, as you state in your comment above, this abuse of power is shrugged off, almost as if a normal behaviour, expected. It’s digusting to see it even when i grew up around the same mentality. But hey, at least their method clearly seems to be working, we’re practically silent seeing as they still have the confidence to fuck with our lives.

Just remember, it’s final until it isn’t.
