Privacy advocate with Google-nest cameras inside his home?
- brador 3mo agoOn device recording, so at least the illusion of privacy.
- ale42 3mo agoHow did he get the videos out of the cameras that were seized if the recording was also not uploaded? Can Nest cameras upload/stream to private servers? (never had one so I have no idea)
- foder 3mo agoLol, yes. He describe himself as an anarcho capitalist so I guess, ideologically, it is government surveillance that he is concerned with and that the free market will sort out the rest.
- hdgvhicv 3mo agoHilarious take, why ban it by accountable governments but not unaccountable companies (which can then sell to accountable governments anyway)
- freedomben 3mo agoWhere did you see anarcho capitalist? I only saw "libertarian" (which is not the same thing).
- jchw 3mo agoMaybe he wanted to make sure a lot of copies of the evidence were floating around. Surveillance capitalism is like a free unlimited backup service you can't restore from.
- polack 3mo agoI was on a consultant-assignment at a company that got raided by the police in the EU. The police was extremely careful not to scan any data that where stored on US-servers. The company used Google for mail and file storage, so all computers had to be taken offline before they could scan them. While I don't doubt they have a way of getting permission to access that data, I don't think they will put in the effort unless you're a relally big fish.
- pjc50 3mo ago> The police was extremely careful not to scan any data that where stored on US-servers This seems exactly backwards to what I'd expect, I wonder what the official rationale is.
- spragl 3mo agoYeah, he seems confused to me. Well meaning, but not so consistent. What is good is that he is a wrench, that throws itself in the works repeatedly. This is a healthy thing to have.
