But also these cameras also solve a problem much faster and just seems like common sense whereas trying to fix some abstract core Zeitgeist that may or may not solve the issue isnt much to sink our teeth into. It's like someone asking you to fix their toilet and you're like "well what is a toilet and maybe the issue is you don't earn enough money to pay a plumber" like great, you're right in one regard, but the toilet is broken and you could fix it
Nice banalization.
It would look more like putting a camera in your toilet because "one should be scared of poop diseases", but then add your toilet cam to a database that every doctor can use to find toilet cams.
How would a Cam do that?
Maybe like a health department that collects samples at treatment plants to identify the spread of disease. It's an invasion of privacy. But also doesn't mean it's not a benefit to it.
Authoritarianism is easily justified. Yet never a good solution.
