Uh, fair enough. Yeah I guess that’s a good hook. But still, I can only see the correlation between the exponential increase in Flock cameras and datacenters. Clearly it’s all for surveillance, precrime and the like. If we center discussion around water we move it away from the actual harm being done. Policies become about “ensuring water isn’t wasted” instead of “ensuring datacenters don’t get built”. It’s a distraction, no? Or rather, it’s co-optation.
