I still think we can only survive as societies with truly radical openness - stick up all the cameras younwant, but it is legally obliged to publish everything you are monitoring - everyone gets to see what everyone else sees.

i honestly don't see any alternatives, despite the enormous implications

The GPL of camera footage?

"Publish the terabytes of footage you're recording, and market it so we know where to find it, or... or... we'll do something!"

Publish it or you will be liable under the law for upto 4% of your global corporate turnover. For each camera.

Seems to be working so far as a threat.

Look this is a new world, just as the one where "sending children to work down mines and in factories is bad" or "dumping pollutants in rivers is bad". The laws took time to exist and time to get teeth and time to get enforced - but they feel natural now.

Just wait
