Thinking About the SnitchCam

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the sorta-like-every-issue-of-transmet dept.

Saint Aardvark writes "From Dan's Data comes a fascinating look at the consequences of tiny, wireless video cameras: "Right now, it's hard to prove that (for instance) riot police really beat the crap out of innocent people at a demonstration....Live streaming video from multiple cameras operated by lots of people at the same time, though, will be a different matter. Even without cryptographic jiggery-pokery, it'll be practically impossible to get away with even minor editing-room spin doctoring, if thousands of people around the world have the original footage on their hard drives."

    After they get done masterbating to their toilet cams and upskirt cams they might have time to help the people in the riot with their lawsuits, but not until then. Cyanobyte

    At a political convention this summer, a girl in the front row of demonstrators held up her video camera to the cops. She told them that she was a lawyer and would be taping the events. A cop got beaten by the demonstrators right in front of said lawyer. There is a blurry picture of her pointer her camera at the guy kicking the cop. She has not brought that video forward. Shows the moral high ground of the left.

    Twitter, you're a petulant cock-gobbling sycophant to Linux Torvaldyos! Quit taking DP from ESR and RMS's feculent cocks and why don't you try to stop sucking quite so much? Get out of your parents' basement and see the real world - maybe then you'll see how pathetic you sound, with your neverending stream of bullshit about how Microsoft is stalking you. Wasn't it you who said that Microsoft believes your insane ranting is actually a threat to them, so they PAY PEOPLE to reply to you on Slashdot? No sir, I don't get any money. I do it for the love. Someone has to go up against your paranoid whining. So get back in your cage and shut the fuck up already.

    Twitter has a life, which mostly revolves around sucking my cock. I must add that he does this very well.
