RE: Assange Visited by UN Special Rapporteur on Privacy, Saying "I will act on the videos of Assange’s meetings in the embassy"
Yeah, I had thought of decentralized surveillance in a society. Everyone has cameras and you own yours, and then any misbehavior by authorities can be captured. As a community, you want the best from it, so you help to keep an eye, removing the power form centralized authorities to do the watching. Also, public ledgers for all governmental operations, then when anything needs to be known, it can be. Anyone can be checking up on government to make sure they are being straight.
It is difficult to grasp the potential of OS surveillance and DLTs making it publicly auditable to restrain corruption and abuse, but that potential is paradigm changing. There are relatively few people that might be willing to continue dedicated support for agents and agencies that profit from criminal predation on the public, so enabling the proof of that activity has enormous potential to improve our situation.
Thanks!
