I’m in the US, and people here just seem to be okay with the TSA, NSA, CBP, etc all going through your stuff. I was complaining about BS stoplight cameras on a trip to another state, and my parents and cousin seemed to want more of them, despite them largely just harassing law-abiding citizens by shortening yellow-light durations and ticketing people for pulling too far forward… They also seem interested in facial recognition in stores and whatnot.
I don’t get it. If they did an ounce of research, they’d see that these don’t actually reduce crime or protect anyone, they just drive revenue and harass people. I mention “privacy” and they pull the “nothing to hide” argument.
People seem to want their privacy violated. I just don’t get it.
Even parties to the left are pro this surveillance bullshit.
That’s apparently a thing everywhere.
