Record the Surveillance Cams

GruffGoat writes "Have you noticed all the video cams watching your every movement? Perhaps we are becoming accustomed to always being watched. University of Toronto Associate Professor Deibert has an excellent idea of setting aside a day in which we take notice of being watched. Here's a Wired article about taking pictures of the surveillance camers."

Oh mercy. The recursive Irony. Deibert would love that.

I'm actually one of his students. I was a participant this summer in a reality TV show he did this summer for public television in Ontario, Into America, about Canadian students traveling around the US. The previous year there was one about students trying to fight for recognition of neglected diseases. Both were organised through his lab. Interestingly enough, one of the other things going on in his lab is work on the monitoring of the Chinese governmental firewall, and the companies that provide the technology for it. This seems to be a hot topic what with the Amnesty report that came out a couple days ago and was posted here.

Always interesting to see the Professor in the news. He seems to have a knack for it. I thought Slashdot would be my last refuge... apparently not.

but I also feel that if they can film you because you're in public, the reverse should be true.

The problem is that a mall is private property, not public property.
