Apparently men have to be tracked for safety reasons. (www.bbc.co.uk)

I find it alarming that to "protect" women, men have to be surveilled secretly in all public places. This is way beyond dystopian.

AI and remote security personnel get to decide if someone is "a predator" and take 'em down preemptively if they look suspicious.

What could possibly go wrong?

This article is using every trick in the dystopian playbook to try to emotionally appeal to people. Protecting women, especially the young girls!

"I think we have to develop solutions that put the responsibility back into other places like public authorities, owners of spaces, police forces," she says.

But she still comes out and says what she really wants: more power vested into private, wealthy owners of spaces, to the state, and to the police.

Surely nothing can go wrong. Surely this is about equality for everyone and it definitely won't disproportionately impact men of color. Surely this won't run afoul of any tricky edge cases like trans people. Surely this won't be used to deliscriminate against the poors while still allowing anyone in an expensive suit to do whatever the fuck they want.
