The absolute irony of this article coming from a UK organization.
The UK is the most surveilled country in the entire world.
You can't scratch yourself there, without the AI reporting how many scratches, and at what angle you scratched.
Literally gonna comment this, esp after they finally got Apple to remove encryption to make the country weaker
Yeah totally.
Bad cameras in Afghanistan. Good cameras in UK. Oh, and we want to watch all your phone data, all the time.
This is UK propaganda, plain and clear.
The biggest problem with these cameras would be the fact that they are probably relatively easy to hack, especially for other enemy state actors, although none of them specifically comes to mind 😉🤐
And despite the negative context, and possible usual fabrication involved, the only surprise in that farcical reporting for me was how the BBC let slip the fact that the Taliban are providing power and water services to the population at a level that is functional and beneficial enough for the supposed threat of withholding them to be seen as of consequence.
Time for them blokes to go all "V for Vendetta" over there. Screw that kind of surveillance...
"You criticize society yet you participate in it"
This is more of a "glass house" situation. BBC should be throwing those stones a lot closer to home.
Who says they aren't
