> You spoke out at a town hall meeting and now the mayor wants to run you out of town, or worse.

What you’re describing doesn’t sound like a technology problem. It sounds like a people problem or a political problem. Technology can’t solve that. It is functionally equivalent to a person telling the mayor what you said.

Maybe a better example would be the facial recognition software quickly becoming ubiquitous https://www.npr.org/2023/01/21/1150289272/facial-recognition...

I’m still in favor of it though. Safety is a high priority for me and the US is much more dangerous than I’d like. I’m much more worried about criminals than the government.

I think the implication is that ubiquitous cameras and other surveillance technology would make it easier for the mayor to have you harassed until you leave town.
