We don’t _need_ many things. But there are real problems that it solves and solves better than anything else.

I feel like the best solution is very tightly regulating and auditing this technology so it can only be used to benefit society.



We are so far away from that even being a possibility.

We live in a world that is most corrupt and above the law, at the very top. Why would anyone trust that world? Trust is required for this technology to be willingly adopted.


> But there are real problems that it solves and solves better than anything else.

I disagree. What problems does it solve better than anything else? Any examples?

The best solution is to NOT LIVE IN A SURVEILLANCE STATE.

Like when a cop wants to stalk his ex-girlfriend, or ex-wife. Who else is gonna solve this problem if not flock?


That’s what the auditing needs to cover. Every search should be tied to a case number and the police putting in fake numbers to stalk people need to be dealt with.

I really don't believe this, nor do i believe any amount of regulation will actually prevent dipshit US cops from abusing it
