This episode of Black Mirror sucks: London cops boast that facial-recog creepycams will be on the streets this year

The current EU plan is privacy friendly for the next few years but establishes EU jurisdiction over the use of the tech. So the laws will be framed by the EU, not your national government. And you can't vote for anyone who will change those laws because the people who write EU legislation are not elected.

What do you think the massively centralising bureaucracy which cannot be voted out, is going to do when the "privacy-friendly" period is up? For a few years of better privacy, you'd have surrendered control forever.

I'm going to buy a hat, with a really wide brim and those dangly corks the Australians use. Maybe I'll invent a panama hat with a small semi-mirrored screen around the front. You know, because global warming.

Don't rely on the government for things you can fix for yourself.
