          Now, let’s look at the top 10 cities by CCTV density per square km:

          Chennai, India – 657

            London is literally third on the list bud. And of course, we have to consider the lack of transparency of the US regime here as well.

              Who is first, second, fourth, fifth and sixth?

              Also what’s the overall population of China vs the overall population of the UK?

              C’mon man there’s no argument here. Just stop.

                  There is an estimated 500 cameras per 1000 people in China vs 100 per 1000 people in the UK.

                  You can try to skew the stastic by trying to hammer on London, the most populated city, but you know you’re just lying lol. I’m not arguing with you, you’re arguing with the truth.

                  I’m done here, you’re disingenuous and don’t understand numbers I guess or population density.

                    I love how you keep digging in here. Turns out that the amount of cameras in China is very comparable with UK with London being right up there with Chinese cities. Instead of admitting being wrong, you just continued to double down and making a further clown of yourself. The utter lack of self awareness here is really a cherry on top.

        So what you’re saying is huge amount of surveillance is a-okay, as long as some other country has more. Gotcha.

        Yeah the massive amounts of land that have no towns or even houses in the western half of the USA throws the density curve pretty dramatically. Makes it seem like the USA isn’t the surveillance state it really is, while making other smaller (land wise) surveillance states seem worse. With the density looking less problematic, it really lets the frog that is the American populace not notice the water getting closer to boiling.

          Shanghai and Beijing together do laps around the amount of cameras in the UK and US combined.

          Cmon I know you guys like to be dishonest but that’s just not true
