Pentagon testing mass surveillance balloons across the U.S.

Damn, I wish we'd stop taking a step towards mass surveillance. It reminds me of China. They've created millions of profiles which consists of these physical attributes of their citizens:

  • Blood
  • 360 degree view of your head
  • Organ placement
  • Voice

At the creation of these profiles, if they find you suspect of having weak faith in their ideology, they'd send you to ideological camps.

Other scary shit they got to keep people in control and not thinking:

  • Police convenience stations all around China
  • Security checkpoints in popular malls, stores airports, etc.
  • Technology to eavesdrop in to your conversations
  • Security cameras everywhere

The authorities all got these apps that can see your status + profile. They system flags those who don't seem too keen on following their ideologies based on its observation. They also used the DNA to find and oppress minority groups like the Uighur's.

It was really interesting & scary learning about this from a npr podcast. If you're intrested, you should check it out.
