Zuckerbery wants privacy
The short version: A mass-surveillance watchdog channel highlights the irony of tech billionaires guarding their own privacy while building systems that strip it from everyone else.
Our Take
The creator behind Digital ID, Mass Surveillance and Digital Currency points to a familiar pattern: the same executives who profit from scraping up our data surround themselves with gates, NDAs, and private security the moment it's their own lives on the line. We can't verify every specific claim in the video, but the broader point lands — privacy for me, dossiers for thee is the operating logic of the surveillance economy, and it's not limited to social media feeds.
That same double standard shows up on American streets every day. Flock Safety's automated license plate readers quietly log the comings and goings of ordinary drivers — no warrant, often no public notice — while the company and the police departments that deploy its cameras face little scrutiny themselves. The people least able to opt out of being watched are regular residents; the people least willing to be watched are the ones building the watching infrastructure.
If a tech billionaire's hypocrisy on privacy bothers you, the cameras on your own corner should bother you more. Check our map to see what's already tracking your neighborhood, and visit our take-action page for ways to push back before this becomes permanent infrastructure nobody consented to.
