A Mexican surveillance giant you’ve never heard of is now watching the U.S Border

Well, I can’t say there should not be surveillance at borders but as long as there are no Isreali/Russian/Chinese ties, I don’t know if this is anything to complain about.

Did you read the article? It is not just about the border—it is about a country-wide mass surveillance system.

So it is okay that the NSA spies on Americans as long as it is in-house?

At the border, I don’t think it’s fair to expect any citizen of any country to have physical privacy.

My comment was only referring to things at the border. Inside the country, of course it’s terrible news and should never be the case but has been since 9/11 and will only continue to grow. I don’t think there is undoing the surveillance apparatus of the US in house too. But we can and should of course continue raising awareness so people can take appropriate measures and precautions per their threat models.

Interesting that someone joins 11 hours ago and starts advocating against privacy :grinning_face:

Because you’re crossing borders and the authorities will check anything they can or want because they are in charge of ensuring nothing illegal enters the country. Its literally border security every country has. Again, physical privacy only. And again, at the border only. You are already scanned and bags are also likely or even randomly often checked after checking in. Why would you expect privacy here in one of the most public spaces in the world.

This is like saying you don’t want to share any health info with your doctor because of your privacy stance and still want them to fix you up. Makes no sense to me.

@Expert4870 how is this advocating against privacy?

Please re-read my statement above carefully because I have chosen my words carefully. Read what I said. Read the words I used and how. And then get back to make your case for why what I said is against privacy. I think you’re misinterpreting what I am saying here.
