That’s not bad faith, it’s just basic logic. MIT isn’t a state and is just installing security cameras on its private property.

I do concede what you’re saying about its police force, and that’s a fair angle.

Sorry to interrupt the pedantry about whether a specific entity counts as a state, I'd like to submit the notion that maybe the argument shouldn't be "is a state entity" but rather "is an entity that has some form of authority over my livelihood that is cornering me into a mode of constant surveillance which I do not consent to."

The obvious answer is to leave the organization, but ultimately one shouldn't have to end their employment in order to be free of undue/unjust AI surveillance.
