Coldplay kiss-cam shows our surveillance society

This is dumb as fuck.
People have been caught having affairs in public since literally as long as humans have existed. People have been caught having affairs on jumbotrons since jumbotrons existed.
This has literally nothing to do with a surveillance state and everything to do with drunk people being sloppy bitches.
It has to do with cameras becoming present everywhere and people using them without knowing where the data goes.
If no one was trying to gather that kind of data, things would be very different.
No, it doesn't. The literal exact same thing happens when people use their eyes in public.
