It’s like the definition of big brother. Let’s all tattle on eacother what could go wrong? Is this a real show?

I absolutely agree with you! I bet this has been happening for years. Think about your phone sitting idle waiting for the magic words and it automatically turns on. Ok Google or Alexia.

This is one of the reasons I was disappointed the show got cancelled. It would be interesting to explore the implications of having a platform like this. It could be used for good. It could be used for bad.

In the show, the purpose wasn't "let's all tattle on each other" but that could be one of the outcomes, depending on how the system is set up.

The show would never portray itself that way but the reality is that’s the idea they’re promoting. Citizen vigilante mobs eagerly pointing the finger at anyone loosely fitting the description to satisfy a need for vengeance.

I wonder why they would think that's a good idea!
