> women would be less frequently oppressed.

That does not logically follow; another technology would just as soon take the place of surveillance cameras (phone tracking, social stigma, stricter laws and punishment). It is the intent of the oppressor and the courage of a culture to resist it that matters most.

Not necessarily. And other methods may be less effective or less ubiquitous.

But Isn't that true for most technology? it tends to amplify power & if there is already concentration of power than tech will make it worse. I mean even in US tech has created a lot more inequality (though growing the pie but still).

sad thing is this is only the start, wait till you see what pervalant surveillance powered with AI/GPT-X brings.

America should not sell surveillance cameras to Iran.

We are not, and literally no one is advocating for this. This is entirely on Iran, and maybe the Chinese company selling them cameras if it exists
