They are literally everywhere. I can’t go any place without being watched. I just want some privacy. The most alarming part is that they put cameras on all entrances and exits so they can know who’s entering or leaving. Why do they need to stalk me as I go about my day? The area I live in is overall pretty safe so I don’t see the justification.

I have also noticed that some people actually feel safe where there are cameras. I get that people can get scared but I don’t think creating a giant network of mass surveillance is the answer.

What is this dystopian future we have marched into.

    Im just kinda hoping it’ll be partially effective, even that tiny fraction.

    I dress fairly distinctly anyway, so I’m not worried about standing out more, just sick of the idea of my face being recorded every fucking where.

      I get it, I just wanted to clarify that anti camera clothing is mostly just anti camera flash technology.

        I thought some worked by flashing infrared LEDs to overwhelm the cameras’ sensors. AFAIK there are multiple varieties of camera repellant.
