“The many pro-surveillance advocates I have debated since Snowden blew the whistle have been quick to echo [Google CEO] Eric Schmidt's view that privacy is for people who have something to hide. But none of them would willingly give me the passwords to their email accounts, or allow video cameras in their homes.” PeopleGivingHas BeensHomeViewsAccountsGive MeCamerasVideoPrivacyEchoesGoogleCeoEmailSurveillanceEricSnowdenPasswordsVideo CamerasSchmidt Author:Glenn Greenwald
“You can't have a bad time at Disney World. It's not allowed. They have hidden electronic surveillance cameras everywhere, and if they catch you failing to laugh with childlike wonder, they lock you inside a costume representing a beloved Disney character such as Goofy and make you walk about in the Florida heat getting grabbed and leaped on by violently excited children until you have learned your lesson.” IfsWorldChildrenCharacterHumorFunnyWalksWonderLaughingFailingLessonsCamerasExcitedBelovedHeatLocksFloridaCostumesSurveillanceRepresentingBad TimesChildlikeGoofyChildlike WonderSurveillance CamerasDisney Character Book:Dave Barry's Only Travel Guide You'll Ever Need Source: Dave Barry's Only Travel Guide You'll Ever Need
“Photojournalism has become a hybrid enterprise of amateurs and professionals, along with surveillance cameras, Google Street Views, and other sources. What is underrepresented are those "metaphotographers" who can make sense of the billions of images being made and can provide context and authenticate them. We need curators to filter this overabundance more than we need new legions of photographers.” NeedsMadeViewsStreetsSourceCamerasPhotographerBillionsMake SenseEnterpriseGoogleSurveillanceFiltersHybridLegionCuratorPhotojournalismOverabundanceSurveillance Cameras Author:Fred Ritchin

“Do you really mean to tell me the only reason you try to be good is to gain God's approval and reward, or to avoid his disapproval and punishment? That's not morality, that's just sucking up, apple-polishing, looking over your shoulder at the great surveillance camera in the sky, or the still small wiretap inside your head, monitoring your every move, even your every base though.” TryingMeanStillsReasonMovingSkyMoralityGainsCamerasRewardsBe GoodPunishmentShouldersApplesApprovalReally MeanSurveillanceDisapprovalMonitoringSurveillance Cameras Author:Richard Dawkins
“Abby must have been the one who found the safe house, because Townsend didn't like it. "The building across the street is under construction," he snarled as soon as we'd carried our bags inside. "The elevator has key card access, and I've hacked into the surveillance cameras from every system on the block," Abby argued. "We have a three-hundred-sixty-degree visual." "Excellent." Townsend dropped his bag. "Now the circle can see us from every angle." "Don't mind Agent Townsend, girls," Abby told us. "He's a glass-half-empty kind of spy."

“When I look out [the window] at the big houses on either side of the road, it's obvious we've entered the rich side of town. Poor people don't post signs like NO TRESPASSING, PRIVATE DRIVE, PRIVATE PROPERTY, MONITORED BY CAMERA SURVEILLANCE. I should know because I've been poor my entire life, and the only person I know who ever posted a sign like these is my friend...and he actually stole the sign off a rich guy's yard.” PeopleKnowsShouldLooksPersonsBigsGuyHouseSidesPoorRichMy FriendsWindowTownsCamerasPropertyObviousPostsYardsPoor PeopleSurveillancePrivate PropertyBig HousesTrespassingSigning Off Author:Simone Elkeles
