        Because the seriousness of this contract should require proof that you agreed to it

        A little click box is fine for something that doesn’t matter, but for lifetime real time surveillance, that’s important enough that you should have a serious contract with proof that you actually signed it

          I feel like this was something that needed to be stopped decades ago but now it’s just not possible to do this. You can’t wait until it’s this big then start thinking how to change it

            The other option is to look at the possible outcomes and in this case the direction we are on is unacceptable.

            Better to start now because it gets costlier by the minute to delay.

            That which is unsustainable tends not to be sustained.
