    The notion of "second-hand surveillance" (on analogy to second-smoke) seems powerful -- and more generally I really appreciate the idea of zones where one can be free of this.

    (via @ajlunited )

    That said, it feels off/sad that we have to start by creating zones where people are expected NOT to use the pervert glasses, or Apple watch always-listening tech, etc etc.

    OTOH, let's start somewhere!

    To avoid ambient firearms we have to go airside at airports, here in the US.

    Hopefully avoiding ambient surveillance won't require purchasing a ticket.

    @emilymbender In a competition to moving back into caves, the .01% wealthiest, have luxury bunkers.

    They have less and less to fear, therefore can do more and more, to corner vital root infrastructure.
