Because people are fukking idiots and don't do any research on anything. I could make a website called www.thisisabsolutelynottrue.com, write a story about sharks growing legs and invading Florida's panhandle and people would believe it.
Now let's not get carried away if we got a bunch of jabberjaws walking around we need to know for public safety:damn:

My husband is sick ass hell and still havent gotten his results back. I had to take my kid to my mom just so he can come home and help take care of him. He's isolated in the basement but he's weak as hell. I pretty much only take food to him but I wish I could do more. He's gradually gotten sicker with more flu like symptoms but no serious breathing issues, he's just really weak. I know they wont hospitalize him because I'm sure their ppl worse off then him. I just want this all to be over. Its exhausting.

Fever been around 100-102. I happen to have bought a few bottles of pedialyte when I first went to the store so I have them in a cooler down there with him and bottles of ensure. He doesnt want to go yet he wants to wait for results. Hes scared that if it is the flu he will go to the hospital and catch CV. He also thinks if this is it, he wont get again because his body will build up antibodies. Not sure where he got that. I just want it to be over. I'm scared hes going to get me sick. I need to know he doesn't have it so I can help more. He has a Aunt and Uncle in the hospital. One of their kids must brought it in their house cause they live alone. It be so many ppl outside. Its going to be 65-70 tomorrow. Its going to be bad.

Ok got it. I don't know if is it nefarious or not but I do know that it will be used in ways which will compromise privacy. UK cities are the most monitored in the world. Why would they not just extend that to mobile
surveillance?
...
It opens the door for someone to backdoor your car, phone, TV, iOT-thing to observe you. Give your GF a kitted out phone and monitor what she does when she is not with you. Install equipment in your shared car to livestream her activity. Governments constantly watching the street for criminal activity - such as drug dealing. Industrial espionage.

You could just set the cameras up, record everything, feed the images and corroborating evidence (phone ID, online connections etc) to your programs and let them flag "noteworthy activity". The problem is that each successive generation allows the creep of control to get ever greater because they find that which they were born into to be an acceptable baseline.

As a programmer and holder of 2 tech degrees myself I do not want to be monitored 24/7 without my express permission because I have nothing to gain from undesired monitoring and lots to lose.

Even now quite aside from your online activities offline- companies are teaming up with tech companies to tie ID and credit cards to online profiles, US immigration is requesting social media accounts, employers are spying on social media behind vetting pretexts etc.

If you think that those companies are not going to push to extend (officially or not) video of footage of you in the wild "in your natural habitat" you are kidding. Already in china that have citizenship scores attained by virtue of your online and offline behaviour using facial recognition. Heck half of the world is willingly deliver their face maps to the telcos as we speak - face ID. And before you say that the West is not like china try and live like you did 12 months ago and see what happens to you. Needs must ..



Why give a bunch of companies (and authorities) which have shown that the will actively work to flout privacy even more latitude to do so is beyond me.

Google mapped all wifi routers along with their photographing of the world's streets. Google follows you on the majority of the large websites and follows your location even when you turn location services off. Why would a company which has been repeatedly fined for breaking privacy laws be trusted with the means to collect even more live data?



Google and Mastercard Cut a Secret Ad Deal to Track Retail Sales



Google fined €50 million for GDPR violation in France

EU regulator launches probe into Google over data privacy

Twitter and Facebook could be facing billions in fines after Ireland investigations

TechCrunch is now a part of Verizon Media

Spoilered response to not derail too much
Oh, I 100% hear what you are saying. I’ve been interested in online privacy for a while too and was worried about losing it.

The thing is, you’re going to lose privacy either way. You are going to be monitored all day, every day. It’s happening and there is nothing you can do about it. Once you accept that, you can figure out ways to circumvent it.

Things are gonna get much much worse, privacy related though. It’s only a matter of time before computers will read your emotions, or read your brainwaves. It’s happening soon

So, you know what I’m preparing to do? I’ve been preparing myself to think in a certain way. It’s actually hard to force yourself to think in a specific manner, and not to think certain things. Meditation helps. If I was you, that’s where I would focus my attention. Losing surface level privacy is nothing...child’s play. Losing mental privacy is the real issue

But Mr. Cuomo told reporters on Monday that he would ask Mr. Trump to increase the federal supply of hydroxychloroquine to New York pharmacies, allowing the state to lift a limit on purchases. “There has been anecdotal evidence that it is promising,” Mr. Cuomo said, while noting the lack of a formal study.

And this is the bozo people are saying should run for president himself. :mjlol:
