@skry that URL reminds me of this quote that gets disproven again and again:
https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/74109-an-armed-society-is-a-polite-society-manners-are-good
A quote from Beyond This Horizon

An armed society is a polite society. Manners are good when one may have to back up his acts with his life.

@skry Let me guess, eavesdropping on billionaires and tracking thumb-twiddling on their little phones isn't part of this grand plan for social improvement.

@skry Search “adversarial clothing” and “anti ALPR countermeasures” for some interesting reading

@skry @hacks4pancakes I think it is pretty safe to say that no one should work for any billionaire. But, yes, that one is especially bad.

@skry this only applies to the non rich who might do crime in public instead of in an office behind me a desk. If you’re rich you have free rein.

@wwew First they came for the people with the cameras built into their computers at work.

But yeah, what you said about the rich.
