    Based on trias politcal yes you do.

    If your country is corrupt then yes the people with money have power. Not every country is corrupt enough for people to really buy into it.

      “Based on trias politcal yes you do.” what are you trying to say?
      And I said nothing about corruption or ‘people with money’
      Again, what are you trying to say?

        Sorry, but I assume everybody here at least has a basic level of understanding on the political system most democratic countries are at least somewhat based on.

        Trias Political is the sense that you have the government, the police and the judges. Everybody needs to follow the law, the government makes that law, the judges judge who gets punished and how long and the police enact that punishment. (Very broadly explained).

        If the system works like intended or at least close to, then everybody has the same rights and need to follow the same low. You are were talking about “the regime” what regime are you talking about? Generally people mean the 1%er’s or at least the actual rich. Corruption is what allows the inequality between people, but removing the corruption can also cause issues. Just look at the situation in Brazil.

        Facial recognition is not something any company can just use in a GDPR country in the way they do in China or in this example. Again, we have rights.

        My original comment was more an “if” question about what IF the US actually functioned like a democracy instead of a consuming focussed, angelo-saxton country.
