Re. "what does the rest of sudo think?"
Microphones & cameras on shot-spotters? What about the
software-controlled mics & cameras on smartphones, that people carry
into indoor places where the DAC cameras and mics can't go? If it
doesn't have a physical OFF switch or a removable battery, it's always ON.
NSA snooping your metadata? What about Google Mail and Google Voice
scraping the full content of both sides of every email & conversation
for everything down to the level of "sentiment analysis" which is a
euphemism for spying on your emotions? "Targeted advertising" is a
distraction; Big Data is the real product.
DAC data center creepy? What about Facebook creepy, and Sudo having a
Facebook page, even as Mark Zuckerberg spends $16 million to buy up
every house on his block, so his neighbors can't do unto him that which
he does unto others...?
Big Power is inherently corrupt wherever it resides. Big Data is Big
Power. Even if it has good marketing, cute logos, total convenience,
free apps, free games, and endless entertainment.
Corporate power says "don't bite the hand that feeds you."
Resistance says "don't feed the hand that bites you."
