@maniajack@mastodon.world Nixon had face to face discussion without pervasive surveillance through microphones everywhere.
Targeted surveillance cannot be avoided. And does not need to be: If someone invests enough to place a camera in your room, they have you. That’s how to catch dangerous criminals. But they cannot do that for everyone. Which is good, because it’s the mass surveillance we have to stop, not the targeted surveillance. @Mer__edith@mastodon.world

@ArneBab@rollenspiel.social @maniajack@mastodon.world @Mer__edith@mastodon.world exactly. The problem with our insecure world, where most devices have security vulnerabilities and poor to nonexistent encryption is so that mass surveillance of people, even by private individuals (think controlling spouse and their family), is easy and possible. Having to enter a place surreptitiously and physically placing a hidden device should be the only way to surveil a person under the law.
