Zuckerbery wants privacy
The short version: A commentary channel skewers the irony of tech billionaires claiming to want privacy for themselves while the surveillance systems they help build strip it from everyone else.
Our Take
The channel Digital ID, Mass Surveillance and Digital Currency built this one around a familiar irony: the same tech executives who buy up neighboring properties, build compounds, and scrub their own digital footprints are the ones whose platforms and partnerships normalize constant tracking for the rest of us. We can't verify every claim in a 400-video catalog like this, but the core observation lands — privacy has quietly become a luxury good, available to the people who design the systems that take it away from everyone else.
That double standard is exactly what we see at street level with ALPR networks like Flock Safety. Executives and police departments insist these cameras are just a tool for public safety, yet the data collected — where you drove, when, how often — would never be something those same officials want logged about their own movements without consent or oversight. The asymmetry isn't abstract; it's a plate reader on a pole at the end of your block, feeding a database most residents never voted on and can't opt out of.
If you want to see how far this has already spread near you, check our camera map, and if you're ready to push back on surveillance creeping into your own city, our take-action page has concrete next steps.
