According to a study by research website Comparitech, eight out of the ten most surveilled cities in the world are in China, and as Statista’s Katharina Buchholz notes, the country that has been making headlines for its generous use of surveillance technology is featured heavily throughout the whole ranking that features 120 cities globally.
Central Chinese city Chongqing tops the list with 168 public CCTV cameras per 1,000 inhabitants.

The highest-ranked non-Chinese city is London, also notorious for its strict surveillance of public spaces, but at 68 cameras per 1,000 Londoners, the city is featuring far less CCTV cameras than its Chinese counterparts.
Atlanta is the highest-ranked U.S. city and comes in tenth with 15.6 cameras per 1,000 people.
CCTV technology is controversial in many places around the world, with proponents touting its benefits for fighting crime and opponents cautious about surveillance’s potential to be used as a tool of public control and to violate privacy rights. The makers of the survey said that they found no connection between lower crime rates or a heightened feeling of security and surveillance in the cities surveyed.

Interesting that Atlanta is our most surveilled city. Probably enough black people to make it dangerous, but not so many that no one cares.
Plus there are the satellites that can surveil us anywhere on the planet and tech that lets the bastards look through walls so they know when we’re taking a shit. Privacy is long gone.
Bob I hate to pop your cherry but satellites don’t exist. It’s another NASA scam. We never went to the moon either. All lies. Nothing get through the Firmament. Even nuclear bombs couldn’t break through. Google operation Fish Bowl or Operation High Jump. This took place from 1958 to 1961.
And to think I made a good living putting up satellite earth stations for 30 years. Now 4 years after I retire I learn it is a scam.
On one hand I find it amazing how easily the Brits acquiesced to the NWO. On the other, I’m increasingly buying into the theory that Europe had the vast majority of their alpha males killed off in the two world wars and the betas now constitute a majority. I’m sure there are alphas left but not in enough number to effect outcomes.
I am of the thought that killing off the Alpha males was by design. After all they are usually natural born leaders.
Those are the cameras that they admit to having.Bank on the fact that there are many more.
That’s just fucked up about Atlanta. Of course the folks who NEED to be watched are the ones in the city government….but they are never watched closed enough.
