There are satellites watching various important events all over the world right now. Satellites that we the public have no access to.

So instead of seeing the events for ourselves we get news from various totally untrustworthy and manipulative news things.

If we could access the satellites then we could see for ourselves, or at least seriously fact check the news things.

I think this would make things better, how about you?

I'm all for whatever lets us see things for ourselves instead of having some talking heads decide the framing.

Public access panopticon?

Every single piece of surveillance apparatus, everything that the Spooks and cops have. Every satellite and camera. Except it's public access.

I'm serious. It would level the playing field. Surveillance is arguably more important than money. And it can be shared without diminishing it.
