A place to discuss privacy and freedom in the digital world.
Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.
In this community everyone is welcome to post links and discuss topics related to privacy.
Some Rules
- Posting a link to a website containing tracking isn't great, if contents of the website are behind a paywall maybe copy them into the post
- Don't promote proprietary software
- Try to keep things on topic
- If you have a question, please try searching for previous discussions, maybe it has already been answered
- Reposts are fine, but should have at least a couple of weeks in between so that the post can reach a new audience
- Be nice :)

MODERATORS
2035? I'd have argued most of these things are already here or at least trivially close...
no privacy - Corporate overlords have been declaring us "post-privacy" for a looooong-ass time, and Governments and their enforcers have been chomping at the bit for at least as long, because they want in on the game
robot cops - Palantir Gotham plus semi-autonomous drones; It's a question of degree, not of when.
robots displacing workers - Has literally been happening for more than half a century; The current LLM bullshit is going to give it another push, obviously.
robot rights - Well, are LLM companies just violating copyright or are LLMs simply ordinary artists that learn by looking at other folks art, just like their human forebears? (It doesn't matter what you think, it matters what we as society ultimately make of that and I wouldn't be optimistic)
criminals with hundreds of drones - They've been running humongous botnets for decades; If they see a business case for doing something drone-wise in meatspace they'll absofuckinglutely do so today rather than tomorrow, and maybe they already are and we're just not aware because it's still flying under the radar.
If you aren't expecting some variation of full-on Cyberpunk right now I honestly don't know what you're waiting for...
Since they're law enforcement I interpreted the report as them preparing for the worst possible outcomes given upcoming tech, and then escalating in response to that.
