That's the problem though, why the hell does a teenager in his studio have access to govt cctv, and why is it so normalized to have somebody staring at you literally 24/7? Pretty sure there's a twilight zone episode about that.

I realize this is completely not the point but he’s 22-23 in the new movie

He was graduating high school about to enter college in the last one, and then there was a 4 year timeskip during the montage at the beginning of the movie

Also yeah I agree mass surveillance is wrong rlly idk who does it.

Right, mb, but point stands, why is there so much surveillance in New York? And why the hell is nobody noticing a constantly active connection outside of secure facilities?

You’re asking why New York, one of the most populous cities in the United States, has cameras everywhere, the same New York that has countless businesses ranging from small corner shops to mega stores, who, most likely, have set up their own cameras to deter thieves, especially in a super powered version of the world

Not to mention ATM machines, which (afaik) by default have a camera.
