You can’t browse piefed using cctv.

Well not with that attitude.

I just mean that surveillance via wifi is so much more pernicious because wifi is useful. There is no use for cctv other than surveillance, so it would be relatively much easier to get rid of than wifi surveillance, and we haven’t even been able to get rid of that.
