@whimsley @jayrosen_nyu "crime will disappear" not really said, never widespread or taken seriously. Some argued surveillance=less crime.

@whimsley@jayrosen_nyu More surveillance will mean less crime is perfectly reasonable argument to make or to disagree with. Very different.

@whimsley@jayrosen_nyu That is not a dramatization. That is on way this side of strawpersoning, towards good old lying. Yes, fairly common. -
@whimsley@jayrosen_nyu Most "criticism" that got most media attention has been vacuous, fact-free, trolling, arguing by freakshow, etc. - Show replies

@whimsley@jayrosen_nyu Meh. That's like criticizing Silicon Valley via its press releases (also very common). -
@whimsley@jayrosen_nyu Also not "all sides." There's SV hype & there's vacuous criticism that only criticizes SV hype. Same coin two sides.

@whimsley@jayrosen_nyu Calling out SV hype is fine, though hardly critical. "Oh, look, company exaggerates product." -
@whimsley@jayrosen_nyu This model of tech criticism bills itself as "tech criticism" rather than what it actually is though. - Show replies
