I’m deeply concerned about the future, everyone I know is using non-free software and firmware, and relying on SaaS like ChatGPT. These companies are collecting and storing our thoughts and personal data, and I suspect they’re sharing it with agencies like the NSA. Our cell phones track our every move, listen to our conversations, and record our activities. Google probably logs our search history forever, and Windows can access all of our files. Non-free firmware and the Intel Management Engine can even spy on us, capturing our screen activity and keystrokes. Cameras watch everywhere you move. It’s a daunting battle to fight, and it’s disheartening to see that even when we try to discuss these issues, many people are quick to dismiss our concerns. What are your thoughts on mass surviellence?
Does the fact all cameras in my home have electrical tape or some other physical barrier on top of them answer your question?
Not to call you out, but it always perplexes me that people do this without considering why.
I mean its pretty simple. I dont trust software controls to control the cameras being on or off. So i cover them. Its a foolproof way to make sure your cameras are off basically. Id like to just not have the cameras but its basically impossible to find some types lf devices that dont have them. Like a phone for example.
