In the UK the CCTV networks got networked around every city to track the IRA into and out of cities. Every face, every number plate.
Think of the US version of more a public private partnership. With the FBI, DEA, NSA, CIA buying into a bulk commercial product that has every face and license plate in a state.
In the UK you know your face is going to be tracked.
In the USA your never really sure what agency is actually tasked to collect domestically*.
*Unless its a new camera in a new box on a very old utility pole.
Think of it as any really old computer design. Get down to the chips on the motherboard and its all mostly wide open.
Having more crypto to protect every part of the hardware would add to power use and add more complexity.
New crypto chips between the CPU, OS and every other part of the computer?
The user also wants a fast direct pipe to move data with a device they own.
The easy fix it to crypto the direct and fast pipe off after a set time rather than actually securing the device.
Easy for law enforcement to get in globally (great news for export police compliance). Reassure the US market that "privacy" is protected and part of the product branding.
Who wants traces of an ad company system still running on hardware at the same time?
Remove the adware system down to the hardware and start with a real OS.
An ip will be discovered.
An ip that can only be connected to one user and their desktop computer.
Follow the ip back and discover one user with a modem in front of their desktop computer.
Every ip is only ever given to one user in front of their computer by an ISP. The ISP ip can only end with a modem.
So every ip can only be a direct connection to one persons desktop computer connected to their modem.
Once that ip is discovered in the wild follow the ip back to the user's computer.
Stop that users desktop computer and their one ISP connection from doing bad things in real time.
Wonder how that will work in the real world with greedy ISP and networks having a lot of users and not wanting to pay for much for fancy "networking"
Follow the bad ip back and discover a suburb is online using one low cost network?
That ip in the wild turned out to be the ISP not the user?

In the USA? Your brand is asked again and again to support the NSA and domestic collect it all.. The deals get better then the offers just stop.
Your brand stops been your brand one day and has new owners who have always helped the NSA.
PRISM showed who tame most big brands are. Happy to help the US gov spy.
The problem for the US gov is that the same police access to any phone is now global.
Other nations are watching US contractors for free around US bases, ports, forts, camps on US networks.
A front door is always in place as police support for voice, gps, live mic, file access (up and down) and camera as part of every phone created on one production line.
Great for watching US mil contractors on a base to see if they are working for another nation.
Every phone is police ready globally. The only question is who has the keys and is the users phone always set to share with a gov.
The question for the USA is China watching US contractors doing work on US bases in the same way globally?
Recall PRISM. Some of the big trusted brand US brands are tame and ready to not block the US gov collecting it all.
The US gov and mil trusts the US brands to help collect on everyone.
People want 4K. But don't have the skills to review and then buy a new GPU and CPU to support that.
So the small trendy low power computer can pass the complex math to other devices and they can push the results back.
A huge increase in real time CPU and GPU power with no lag is the result.
Modern computer math magically no longer needs the CPU and GPU to be in the same part of the house.
The networked refrigerator, toaster and air conditioner CPU will all get the complex GPU math done with no lag.
Dropping frames again with that more advanced computer game? Turn on the networked washing machine and do some laundry to add more CPU power.
Re "You don't think an increase in minimum wage is the first time a business has ever had to deal with a rising cost of business, do you?"
That would be an investment buying new equipment that grows profits, saves on wages.
New computers, new production line, more capacity, an investment that lower past costs.
Re "The employees have more money"
With everyone passing on mores costs in CA to cover the regulated wage costs.
More money goes to pay for the wage gap into savings or something productive, usefull.
Food costs, transport all reflect the mandated wage costs that further takes away from any wage rise for any one worker.
Everything a poor worker needs every month costs more and the new costs passed on are not covered by a wage rise.
Re "they get our money based on merit"
The same low skill workers are getting a new wage for doing the same job.
Thats not going to grow profits or the ability to invest more in the business. Any growth has to cover new wages for the existing staff.
Should have been done in the 1970's.
The USA was flooded with "students" totally loyal to the Communist party who took back generations of US creativity.
The need for a security clearance should have protected decades of US research and science.
Instead academics and political leaders invited ever more students in to spy on the USA.
What was the CIA and FBI expecting? That it could create spies out of the students in the USA and have them return to China as CIA spies?
China only let its best and most loyal students study in the USA. They did not fall for the CIA charms while in the USA. The USA just lost more tech every decade and did not get to place generations of CIA spies back into China.
The USA got to look all international for a few decades and for that lost all its science to Communist networks of generational spies.
The security services did nothing over decades to protect sensitive US tech domestically from spies.
The money for the new wages has to be created from something.
Costs are taken out of company growth. A company in CA stops growing to cover new wage costs.
New prices get put onto the price of a service and products.
Less profit for them company that offers work. Less jobs on offer.
Pass the full costs of the new wages to the people buying products and services.
People stop spending in CA and the company has less to pay their workers. Growth stops and less jobs are created in CA.
The few skilled people with jobs get to keep their jobs. New jobs that meet new state wages then cost too much to create.
The smart money then invests well outside CA. Away from new CA job regulations that reduce profits.

Twitter, Facebook.
That removes a lot of the tracking.
Use a browser that can stop the ad, social media and malware requests.
