great example, there are like 50% of people that share yours point of view on the subject (cameras not bad), and another 50% who have the strict opposit opinion (cameras not good).

And each is usually hard to convince otherwise, and many judge the opposit group.

Me I dont care, I just want cheaper bottles of water in airport.



It's not cameras not good, it's face recognition not good. Because face recognition not good.


Face rec can be problematic if used with bad imagery and without proper oversight - agree.

Like all powerful tools it has to be used responsibly.

My point is merely that we are all tracked by other means that affect our life in much deeper and profound ways.

..like for example purchase history, cell phone location, internet use etc bought and sold by private corporations, with little to no oversight.


Cameras are mostly a threat to people that have to use burner phones and crypto at work.

If you want privacy, close your bank account, throw away your phone, use cash, don't own property, quit your day job etc etc

Worrying about cameras is naive at best.
