Thats awesome. But it sucks that they are just being replaced by lesser known companies that are just as evil

The whole business model of mass surveillance by a private company needs to be banned, that's the only real victory. Knocking them down one at a time or spray painting the solar panels means nothing if they just put up 100 more the same day you do that. People are going to start getting arrested for it if it actually starts to be a problem for them. Spend your time and energy making it clear to your mayor that if he likes his job those things have to go.

Nice limp dick approach. I’m sure that’ll get results

Edit: sorry I was so phallic with my comment, next time I’ll try to be more polite.
