I find it alarming that to "protect" women, men have to be surveilled secretly in all public places. This is way beyond dystopian.

AI and remote security personnel get to decide if someone is "a predator" and take 'em down preemptively if they look suspicious.

What could possibly go wrong?

We're talking the same AI systems that protect children from lethal bags of chips, and the same kind of premise that lead to vulnerable women getting their info stolen?

Wow, the Baltimore one I didn't know about and that's also beyond dystopian. Jeez, the response by authorities being "sorry, but it did the right thing, move along" reminds me of the movie "Brazil". If you read the article, you already know that yes, it's like that one, but in England, and every public place. Worse though, because it's judgment of where you stand, sit, walk or cast your eyes in relation to any woman in the area.
