It's wild to me that when I post something about surveillance, a consistent reply is--"well x tech already does this thing, so why worry" because I think we've seen enough examples that adding layers and multiple vectors to surveillance technologies magnifies the harms.

So, while phones do track us, it will continue to get worse as you add fitbits, ALPR's, Ring doorbells, Amazon Sidewalk, Facebook VR goggles.

This doesn't appear to me to be a controversial claim.

Aside from people being reply guys, how do you account for this?

And by "this," I mean people making a facile observation about surveillance.

Appreciate the responses.

One way to understand it might be that the people who dismiss the idea that *more* surveillance equals a magnification of harms are people who do not understand surveillance as a harm to begin with.

I've encountered many folks like this.
