I’m an engineer and found myself working in this space and quit my job because I could not reconcile. We should be holding engineers (as well as the corporate leaders, all high ranking employees) building these dark technologies responsible for the massive harm they are doing and planning to do to humanity.
Before you even consider doing that, you should be advocating holding the creators of the already existing technologies that have already caused massive immeasurable amounts of harm from cellphones. The tracking and data logging done through cellphones (precise location and time, websites visited, apps used, text conversations, phone conversations, etc) are more far reaching and intrusive than anything else we could devise.
With FR systems you have to go to the place where it’s set up. With cellphones it’s listening and watching at all times. Including when you’re at home and when you’re sleeping.
I lose hope every time someone advocates to regulate or get rid of the “dangerous and evil” FR systems as though we haven’t already completely and UTTERLY lost the fight against privacy because the tracking device lets you watch tiktok videos and cat memes.
