How is this disturbing? its just like some a public webcam that gets used to identify people. If it is in the public you have no privacy. If you want privacy go home as soon as you are out of your house you lose your privacy. I am a big voter for privacy in your home and private but out in the public your are not private anymore and therefore privacy falls away. Privacy and private kinda go hand in hand. you cant have privacy in a public space it is impossible.


Assuming there is no privacy in public space, please tell us all the name, age, address, SSNs, CC numbers, health records, gender, buying history, sexual orientation, facial features of everyone you walked by in public space over the course of one day last week.

Now that you have failed to do that, try doing it for one day 5 years ago, a whole week, a whole month, everyday since you were born.

A public surveillance apparatus such as the one featured here who record everyone, every day, not forgetting a single thing or person.

Try thinking a bit and free yourself from the backfire effect before making claims that make you look bad.


Utter crap.

Just because I am not in my house does not mean I consent to being tracked everywhere I go. We make the rules in our society, and with enough political will we can restrict this stuff.


This is not used for tracking.


...Yet?


If it is in the public you have no privacy.

Norwegian law disagrees with you.
