So like. Outlets?
I can’t tell if this is satire, ragebait, or simple attempts at normalizing mass surveillance.
Can’t tell what your actual complaint is, because you’re the third person to have the exact same “Isn’t this just” opinion… Have you read the article and the other comments posted before yours?
Yes, as a matter of fact I have read the article, similar complaints, and even added my own novel explanation to the discussion! Namely, the purpose of the article is to try and make people worried about cameras sound like they’re anti-outlet, as any outlet can have a camera plugged in!
I know basic reading comprehension can be difficult, especially with the defending of public education. Would you like me to break it down again, with even simpler words?
Why else would they need to have outlets at the top of street lights, if not for surveillance shit?
Did you read the article and identify how the outlet was being used currently, and how it will be used in the future?
Yes. Did you know that the outlet you plugged your device into is currently powering a device that is spying on you, and can be used to plug in a surveillance camera!
Horrific!
How was the outlet being used?
Plugging in IoT shit.
I’m impressed, I half expected you to say it provided the lights.
Now, do you understand the difference between a state-run network of IoT devices along roads versus a socket in your own home? Is the government allowed to install a surveillance device in both equally?
Yes, I understand that. I also understand now that you completely missed my point even with the simpler explanation. I…don’t think there will be a productive outcome here.
