Their solution will just be cameras you can't see. My mom worked in security 40+ years ago and they were using pin head cameras that were invisible to the human eye.

Destroying them is not going to solve the problem, but I suppose it may be a good start.

That's why it's important to go to your city/town council meetings and put the brakes on data centers. Cameras are much less effective if the infrastructure to transmit, process, and store their feeds can't be built out. Vote out and recall anyone who is supportive. End privatization of utilities so we can yank their electricity too.
