I'll take a little litter on the streets over mass surveillance and cameras everywhere identifying me everywhere I go. Because it never fucking stops at just litter. Pretty soon all that lovely data about who is where at what time gets sold, just easily tied into a little API, and the developer gets a few bucks of kick back. Gotta support the developer, right? This is just spyware for the real world shrouded in something that appears to be a good thing. Fuck off and no thanks, this is why we can't trust anything.
Besides, we don't have anything like this now, and I'm not walking through trash in the city I live in. If you have trash everywhere, you have other problems.
Not only that, but a society that deputizes its citizens to watch their neighbors’ every behavior in hopes of soaking them for fines, sounds like a pretty miserable society. I don’t want to live somewhere where my neighbor can make $100 by turning me in for having grass one inch too long.
