STATUS NEVER CLOSED

SUMMARY

Sensors on every pole, cameras at every corner — sold as convenience, wired as custody.

FULL DOSSIER

Sensor-saturated urban infrastructure is a real procurement category: Sidewalk Labs' Toronto project (cancelled 2020 after privacy backlash), Chinese safe-city exports, ShotSpotter and ALPR networks. Each component has a stated purpose; the aggregate is a persistent locational record of everyone. The node connects IoT listening to social credit — the question of what the assembled data operates.
