      That means whenever people treat "the Internet" as this amorphous digital God out there that just gives you information out of nowhere for free it's one big lie There's always a human or group of humans who did it

      A lot of credit for good stuff gets lost because of this But, possibly far more importantly, a lot of blame for serious harm is also dodged this way

      This comes up right now in US constitutional law The Sixth Amendment of the Bill of Rights explicitly gives you the right to "confront the witnesses against you" in a trial The witness can't be a camera, or a sensor, or an algorithm, it has to be a person

      Stupid jokes people make about "calling a red light camera to the stand" aside, this is very relevant on a deep legal level The red light camera can't issue you a ticket A human being looked at the footage generated by the camera, interpreted it, and made the call

      "The algorithm" never does anything without a human being's consent and agency, even if the human being acts out of benign neglect and turns themselves into a rubber stamp

      The fact that in a criminal trial that human has to come forward and give an accounting of themselves is really fucking important, in ways the writers of the Bill of Rights didn't anticipate It sharply limits the power of the alliance between Big Tech and Law Enforcement

      (I say they didn't anticipate it, but they DID anticipate it, because the idea that tech changes the situation is FALSE An anonymous tip submitted by a written note isn't DIFFERENT from anonymously submitted surveillance footage, even if the latter looks more convincing)

      (The idea that it is is just them fucking with your head with the dazzling power of technology again All data -- a paper trail, a photo, audio, video -- means nothing without context Someone has to *take responsibility* for it -- "Where did this come from, what does it mean")

      (People who think "hard evidence" is different from "testimony" don't get that ALL evidence in a trial is testimony Physical evidence can't be entered into the record at all without a human being's testimony of some kind -- "This is how I got this photo")

      (Just like information from the "hive mind" doesn't cut it, even if there's info on Wikipedia or whatever an expert witness has to actually testify "In my opinion this is common knowledge for someone in my field and these are my qualifications for saying so")

      These are all very important things to keep in mind in daily life, not just in legal matters, and the fact that people don't is the reason the Internet has been so much better at making us ignorant than making us educated
