Lol, that's a big-brained take from Wired that there's a Goldilocks amount of surveillance and repression that apartheid regimes should be applying for the best results.

I dunno man, after reading the article I kind of get their point.

Israel has over 15,000 cameras installed all over the place. They seem to be taking in so much information that they are legit obfuscating themselves, lol.

No, they're letting it happen so they can have a legal claim on the illegal settlements and the Gaza as a whole because that place is pretty likely to resemble the face of the moon here soon.

Precisely this.

They don’t want peace, they want an excuse to continue stealing land from the Palestinians

[-] CrimeDad@lemmy.crimedad.work 22 points 1 year ago

I mean, the article isn't wrong in that regard, but somehow it just misses what I think would be an obvious conclusion that doing that to people is fundamentally unsustainable and just wrong in the first place.

Halfway to an onion headline lol

"Israel unveils new AI data driven plan which optimizes the surveillance to death ratio."

Hey Wired , dare you to say that about 911

But that one also wasn't prevented by surveillance either

But was it too much back then?

And only got worse after. They pushed through a whole bunch of privacy invading laws under the scope of anti terrorism

it was more invasive but was less publicly known until after Snowden.

Israeli intelligence knew and did nothing at the behest of their masters
