    I am not going to suggest, encourage, applaud and condone arson as a protest, because that is illegal.

      These shoppers getting booted really steamed me. Individual stores, individual systems: that’s one (uncomfortable) thing. Sharing the data means disenfranchising. And when they go out of business someday the data of the whole country is sold to the highest bidder.

      Wish we could fix it legislatively so they don’t say “terrorism everywhere, need camera everywhere”. (One imagines that Flock CEO would love us to constantly wear bodycams…)

      btw on the internet gotta wonder if someone’s gonna read that & be like “oh let’s do it with 20 people inside

      If it does happen the company has no one to blame but themselves, because when you abuse people like this there will be a backlash, it’s to be expected

        Backlash only means something when the entity getting backlashed is somehow hurt by that backlash.

        When the company’s immune to accountability, consequences, & responsibility, then … backlash changes nothing.

        The difference-in-leverage between citizens vs the companies doing this is now sooo huge, that there’s no significant chance of accountability or correction ever happening, in many countries.

      That’s a possible life sentence if you get caught. Assuming there’s even a single person in the building.
