Pretty messed up that a mom had to have this conversation w/ their 7-yr-old: "Every time you ride your bike down this block, there are probably 50 cameras that watch you going past. If you make a bad choice, those cameras will catch you." #privacy https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2021/03/02/ring-camera-fears/

Encourage your favourite tech pundits to be brave. Most aren't speaking out like Bernard Hickey here: https://thekaka.substack.com/p/dawn-chorus-reclaiming-our-information because the strangle-hold that the Frightful Five have over our media in NZ means that those pundits (usually contractors) can't afford to piss them off or be seen as "too controversial" by their Frightful Five-partner or otherwise totally dependent customers. We need to encourage the to do the right thing.

This is a dangerous viewpoint. I wouldn't rule out a Trump reelection, especially if Biden drops the ball on enacting progressive policies that help the working class.
