On Persistent Surveillance

“The technotronic era involves the gradual appearance of a more controlled society… Soon it will be possible to assert almost continuous surveillance over every citizen and maintain up-to-date complete files containing even the most personal information about the citizen.

Counter-Drone Revolution

Counter-Drone Revolution

Drones are the perfect spy machine.  In short, they have an outsized influence over the battlespace and are destroying (or will soon destroy) individual privacy.
