It is real technology. I think that people take absolute approaches to thinking about surveillance though and that is where they are making a mistake. Surveillance is just the practice of monitoring a subject over time. There are inevitably going to be higher priority subjects that the state would like to devote their resources to monitoring. For the rest of the people living their lives in China (and the US) the passive collection and profit motivated data crunching from the private sector is what is doing the heavy lifting of analysis. The government is likely recording and archiving all of the source data to analyze if it becomes relevant, but they’re primarily focused on maybe a few thousand individuals for active surveillance at any given time. China is obviously going to be about an order of magnitude greater in number due to population count so the equation may be a bit different for them on surveillance strategy but not hugely.
You said you couldn’t test the technology anymore. Literally my first sentence is affirming that it’s real technology. Everything else is directly relevant to the thread topic. I have no idea who shareblues is but throwing that around sounds a bit schizo.
Imagine Guantanamo bay. Then imagine XINJANG. So i don’t know about the “x10” thing, and they both are shitty situations, honesly. One number is just several hundred thousand shorter than the other.
Whether it’s East Germany or Cuba, under communism like 25% of the people are informants or hidden secret police. I think they are obsessed with control. Control of self/mastery of self has been a philosophy there for a long long time. When you see the state as the extension of one’s self and vice versa as you are indoctrinated from before birth to do, then control is the only real goal. Collective Control.
I think you are on to something, but i think it’s syncretic with the cameras. It’s not just your face they’re scanning, but your gait, your clothing, your height/weight, and your voice. Then AI looks through a billion people instantly and gives you the best guess at their identity. (prob 85+% proficiency)
The majority of China sucks balls, I wouldn't doubt they just edited a quick video to make it look like they're balls deep in controlling their society. In reality they probably track some, but much of that county doesn't even have cell service, much less broadband speeds to track everyone everywhere. Also literally everything Chinese is shit quality so probably the tracking system is shit also. Fuck em.
