As far as state surveillance, this is probably the only kind I can get behind. Provided developers are actually held accountable from the footage and it’s not just theatre.
You don’t need surveillance, if anything that just opens up an avenue for espionage. What you need is AUDITS. Audits fucking suck but they keep everyone accountable. You back up your auditors with strong penalties and clear guidelines and you’re good.
No spending should occur without an auditing plan on how to ensure you’re getting what you paid for.
