does the author just have a problem with "autoplay" vs the user clicking on the videos?

i had to read over halfway just to find out what the google exec said. here is the quote of contention, i think

"“I’m not saying that a user couldn’t click on one of those videos that are quote-unquote more extreme, consume that and then get another set of recommendations and sort of keep moving in one path or the other. All I’m saying is that it’s not inevitable.”"

vr IS art.

just because someone identifies as an "artist" and makes vr doesn't mean they are making "vr art" and a graphics programmer is not making art. human creative expression is art whether made by an "artist" or programmer.

now for the smarter humans/bots to tell us how it really is. thank you.

cool. seems very ambiguous and watered down.

without intent seems like it should just be called "watching" or "recording". also does it stop being called "Sousveillance" if done on a plane? or hiking above a certain altitude?

we are very interested in pulling data from "accidental" surveillance.

Isn't this just a fancy name for "reverse" surveillance?
