Not surprising given wholesale uncritical adoption of Silicon Valley doctrine in the Netherlands. They wanna be Silicon Valley so bad they could pull a muscle. For an ethical alternative, see Ghent. They reject the Smart City (panopticon) concept & want to foster Smart Citizens.https://twitter.com/SchulbaumO/status/969456331534012416 …

Am I allowed to observe you while you're out in the public? Do my observations of you become my property? What if I'm a writer or artist? Am I allowed to observe with my senses, but not with technology? When does people watching become an invasion of privacy?
-
Good questions. The answers are constantly being negotiated and reflected in local legislation. In many places a photo of a crowd isn’t considered to violate privacy. But what if I can then run facial recognition on every person in it?
-
As the resolution of our technology increases and our ability to intrude into personal lives and spaces becomes ever easier and more inexpensive, we must always err on the side of protecting the privacy and human rights of individuals over corporate and government interests.

I like those answers. But imagine a day when I take a picture of a crowd and I'm sued or arrested because the resolution on my phone was too good?
-
Yeah, we need to make sure (a) that doesn’t happen to you as an individual, (b) it isn’t used to stifle the free press and yet, (c) that Google can’t do it because of what they’d be using that photo for based on their business model. Focus should be on intent, purpose, harms.

And what a sleazy comment to follow up with: “We want safe nightlife, but not a soldier on every street corner.” 'Safety' is the magic fallacy to get people behind your cause here. It's sickening.
