At Apple’s secretive Global Police Summit at its Cupertino headquarters, cops from seven countries learned how to use a host of Apple products like the iPhone, Vision Pro and CarPlay for surveillance and policing work.
The various police agencies in this county aren’t quiet about using surveillance that the STAZI would blush at. The newspapers and local bloggers refuse to push the issue with the police by asking questions or doing long term journalism for the effort is not TikTok-able.
If citizens criticize the police online the police find them using digital tracking and then harass them IRL and online.
The system is broken. And it makes the people that it breaks believe that they are noble for being part of the abuse cycle.
The USA is in a bit of a pickle with privacy, guns, stochastic violence, and system decay.
