Other remote invaders often cloaked in benign rationales with little attention to collateral damage caused by technological capabilities not yet adequately perceived much less resisted and regulated: Google's driverless vehicle drones are likely to be used for 24x7 surveillance by governments, corporations and individuals. Taxis to be as driverless spy tools and archivists as black-boxed rental vehicles and household appliances and security systems now are. And never to be overlooked, pun, are satellite drones of dozens of governments and corporations. Along with industrial, medical and educational devices such as manufacturing robots and pipeline pigs, medical orifice and organ probes and veinous blood-borne tags, and "educational-scientific" data siphons, bots, aggregators and their algorithmic, nano-minute-stethoscopic-colonoscopic processing. The most comprehensive drone is the Internet massively tracking, archiving, predicting behavior and aggregating content and usage of websites, mail lists, chats, text, SM alluringly lightly protected, not all really, by deceptive privacy policies and negligible government oversight to favor rapacious spying, mining and targeting. We are all implicated in this drone of drones by believing we can asymmetrically control our input and output despite evidence of counter-asymmetrical exploitation of drone behavior surveillance overriding our puny self-protection. It might be suspected that the age-old ploy of positing a shallow threat to conceal a greater with the superficial furor over drone spotting of the simplest sort to divert attention from the profound drones we eagerly favor for our own secret rapacity not only for the most popular pasttime of online porn but for lurking, spying on and mining data, gossip, ridicule and hacking of each other. Panoptic policy-wonkettes, strategists, theorists, think-tankers, critics, compilators, controllers and pilots of drone systems, might be seen as unwitting Benthamic-piloted drones fueled and inebriated with illusory perceptive sagacity to perform robotic dispensation of presbyopics through media, publication, teaching, conferencing, blogging, op-eding, din-din palaver at $1000-plate engorgements, comforted by solid-returns on investments in drone factories of DoD, DoJ, Wall Street, Lockheed, Northrup, Google, Apple, Intel, ATT, NYT et al, and their obedient monocular propagandic NGOs entertaining, prattling, pontificating about not-a-chance-in-hell privacy. _______________________________________________ drone-list mailing list drone-list@lists.stanford.edu Should you need to change your subscription options, please go to: https://mailman.stanford.edu/mailman/listinfo/drone-list If you would like to receive a daily digest, click "yes" (once you click above) next to "would you like to receive list mail batched in a daily digest?"
