Bot thread, herds all over

Bad bait. Go back or try harder.

If you willingly trade freedom for safety you deserve neither

>>107628416
You still have freedom though, just not the freedom to commit crimes. Same as now.

Awful threads like this always seem to pop up around the same time of the night even on weekends This is observed on other boards too. Is it the Indians agains?

Here's the idea I have in mind

-When setting up computer/phone for the first time, you need internet access and digital ID + selfie to unlock. From there on you need a selfie to unlock your phone/computer every time and your face must be monitored at all times to ensure there is no identity fraud.
-Secure Boot with hard coded unchangeable keys ensuring only operating systems with compliant AI surveillance suite are allowed to run. This AI surveillance suite will monitor your screen contents in live time constantly and send screensots + snapshot of your face to authorities if it detects anything bad.
-ISPs will be required to verify your digital ID before allowing you internet access, and must store all your unencrypted traffic associated with your digital ID. VPNs will have similar requirements or will be outright banned or regulated to require licensing and special permission to run in niche approved use cases (still monitored though).

Can you trust government 100% always until you die?
Can you trust this will never be exploited?
Can you trust yourself that you will never be at a wrong place at a wrong time?
Can you trust AI that it will never interpret your, or anyone around you, jokes as a thought crime?

>bro just let me put my finger in your ass
>bro if you have nothing to hide, what's the big deal?
>bro what if you have colorectal cancer?
>bro its for your safety

These concerns exist regardless of AI. The AI is simply more advanced monitoring, like the introduction of surveillance cameras was. It will send data to the police who use their discretion to decide what to do. And "wrong place at wrong time" is actually less likely when you are 24/7 tracked.

The argument for total surveillance often relies on Utilitarianism—the idea that safety for the majority justifies the loss of privacy for the individual. However, critics argue this creates a "pyrrhic victory" where the cost of safety is the loss of what makes society worth living in.
1. The Psychological Cost: "Social Cooling"
When people know they are watched 24/7, they undergo social cooling. They stop taking risks, exploring "fringe" ideas, or behaving eccentrically. This creates a society of forced conformity, stifling the innovation and dissent necessary for social progress.
2. Function Creep & Political Control
Surveillance tools rarely stay within their original scope. A system built to stop "crime" can easily be repurposed to:
* Suppress Dissent: Identifying and silencing political rivals or whistleblowers.
* Enforce Social Credit: Throttling web access or freezing funds based on "civic behavior" or legal but "unpopular" opinions.
3. The "Honeypot" Risk
Mandatory digital IDs create a single point of failure.
* Security: If a central database is hacked, every aspect of your life (medical, financial, social) is compromised at once.
* Algorithmic Error: If an AI "glitches" and flags you incorrectly, you could be "deleted" from society—unable to work, communicate, or buy food—with no human recourse.
4. Loss of Human Dignity
Philosophically, total surveillance treats humans as objects to be managed rather than autonomous beings. It assumes everyone is a "pre-criminal" and removes the "Right to be Forgotten," meaning a single mistake can follow a person forever, preventing redemption.
> Summary: While crime might drop, the result is a "Goldfish Bowl" society—safe, but devoid of the privacy, anonymity, and freedom required for a healthy, evolving democracy.
