    Are people really okay with this?

    They’re not given the choice. It’s the foie gras method of consent. What are they going to do? Not vote red in Florida? Inconceivable.

      Lol, do you think blue officials would do different? It’s the one thing they all agree on, surveillance. They’ll take the opposition side whenever they aren’t in power, but they’ll forget that the moment they win.

        I don’t think it’s that deep. It’s just ignorant/stupid people falling for clever sales tactics. Most people aren’t equipped to evaluate an AI product offering like this, and the salespeople know how to exploit that.
