“Scan your eyeballs, think of the children: how Britain sells surveillance as safety”
Franklin had something to say about trading Liberty for 'safety'.
and look at penned porks and caged birds: yes, they are 'safe'.
@baldur I'm surprised that no one cited the Benjamin Franklin, previously in the thread 
"They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."
"If a #facial #recognition database is breached, the “locks” that a template opens – accessing a bank app, getting through security at an airport, entering an office building – can’t be reset. A person’s face is permanent, and so is the threat."
@baldur unfortunately Canada is following in Britian footsteps
@baldur CCTV at every angle with direct link to the GCHQ... This was freedom in the UK.
@baldur Britain has been doing this since the Cold War, our tech industry is built on such deals..
