Good, it's democratizing surveillance. Anyway, society need to evolve from privacy focused to almost everything transparent. Information want to be free, it's not practical to fight it.

Sure, then let’s start with the most important stuff and open the books for all private corporations and records for all public institutions.

People are getting so hung up on surveillance. You have to think like a data scientist. And all the things seemingly useless data can tell you.

And Grassland nodes are just software that can read a feed streamed from any digital camera in the world P2P. So in order to stop it, you'd have to somehow ban the ownership or use of all cell phones by everyone, everywhere.
