I can’t stop thinking about how ‘06 really was the turning point for society as a whole. Hypersurveillance was able to really gain momentum because social media and “content creation” had become more accessible than ever before. Really scary shit in retrospect.

The same technology that is honed and trained on Palestinians finds its home in America on O’odham land And along the border. hypersurveillance and harassment that too many accepted at the border is coming for all of us now.

new gundam should analogize a universal newtypeism-but-the-newtypes-arent-free to the feeling of how you can instantaneously communicate with anyone across the world via the 21st century internet but also that this means hypersurveillance, policing as self-policing, and algorithmic slop

Guess I'm using a VPN forever now. 🤷♂️ Some stupid, half-baked, pearl-clutching "what about the children?!" hypersurveillance law now means I have to surrender my credit card details, a scan of my passport, or a scan of my face to private companies so they can decide if I can use their site or not.

Black girls are already adultified in schools-being seen as older, less innocent & more sexualized. Bans on trans girls are going to catch cis Black girls in hypersurveillance & hyperpunishment. Protect trans girls and kids. Protect Black girls. Fight against trans bans. Fight for trans kids

Voluntary hypersurveillance, it's worth adding!! People go out and buy Ring cameras and "smart home" speakers of their own accord!

The time is not to be naive about the era of medical hypersurveillance over our bodies simply because we're much more explicitly under attack now.
We must recognize how the former state of affairs led to the assaults of today, and realize that we need to scrap all that has been used to harm us.

I really hate that we’ve normalized recording strangers in public to the point that ppl are willingly participating in hypersurveillance :/

The refusal to connect this history of state-mandated sexual subjugation to the medical hypersurveillance of trans women--down to the refusal to provide women with the care they need without demonstrating acute mental distress to psychiatrists--is transmisogyny.
And frankly, a feminist failure.

obviously of course representation (in this case butch/masc and femme, in such a dynamic, but especially the former) is a part of the draw, but to me (famously part of like 5 modes where hypersurveillance =/= representation) "rep" works in art when it has smth to say or is (in some way) reflective

It's cool that every normal person on the planet said "haha no that's stupid & also for idiot losers" when racist weirdo billionaires tried to make crypto happen, so they've decided to try to turn all money into crypto so we can't opt out of their hypersurveillance panopticon monopoly money scheme.
“Now, as fears emerge Trump’s administration is ‘dangerously’ undermining the U.S. dollar, Musk has confirmed he wants to put the U.S. Treasury on a blockchain, the technology that underpins bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies—including Musk’s pet project dogecoin.”

hate how the economy is now just data harvesters competing to create hypersurveillance on the population in the hopes of creating an ad that is 0.000001% more efficient not selling me stuff.

The result is that any discussion about crime assumes that we should only ever be more worried about crime. The idea that we are already too worried about crime is never even considered, even as we descend more and more into a state of hypersurveillance

Fun time to remind everyone that despite the hypersurveillance police state we live in and whatever Dick Wolf told you, only roughly 50% of murders are ever solved and that’s the national average as of 2023.
Depending on the city, that can drop as low as 30%.

this guy wore a mask and didn't keep his cell phone on him when he fled and as a result a police department that is itself one of the largest armed forces and intelligence agencies on planet earth is completely flummoxed
One of the NYPD brass said “this isn’t blue bloods” when explaining they can’t just immediately find the guy and I like that years of copaganda have set standards cops can’t meet and might be contributing to people’s correct perception that cops don’t effectively stop crime or find killers.

the only way ive successfully dealt with the expectation and freed myself from the hypersurveillance of being a Gifted Kid has been claiming stupidity for myself and working very hard to allow myself to fuck up. and i still expect more than the best from myself to my constant detriment
What do they feel should've been done differently? How has this impacted them? Have opportunities for these children to thrive been gradually disappearing?

We have to rethink how we establish and assess social credibility and participation in a world of adversarial political hypersurveillance. So many professional practitioners and academics who are doing critical work to address these very issues have been targeted for their work. We have to change.

This hypersurveillance culture also puts peoples' creativity in the public eye in the worst way, and everyone is so afraid of Doing It Wrong, or Not Being Good All At Once, and I need people to understand that learning to find fun in creative failure is how you also learn to keep learning.
