Apparently men have to be tracked for safety reasons. (www.bbc.co.uk)

I find it alarming that to "protect" women, men have to be surveilled secretly in all public places. This is way beyond dystopian.

AI and remote security personnel get to decide if someone is "a predator" and take 'em down preemptively if they look suspicious.

What could possibly go wrong?

That's a lot of words to say I'm being incendiary. Which I won't disagree with but the post itself is as are every other comment I read before posting.

The difference is I read the article and they reacted to a blurb designed to make them react exactly as they reacted.

The thread is bait and I'm calling out people for being so easily baited and suggesting why I believe they are being baited, the incendiary part.

Anyone is free to disagree but that isn't what happened, instead everyone has made excuses for why their reaction was justified.

This means I correctly predicted at some level why they reacted to the bait. So why am I the only one in the wrong here?
