Oracle Surveillance State: Citizens on Best Behavior
Hey chummers,
The surveillance dystopia went corporate. Oracle's Larry Ellison celebrates AI mass surveillance promising "citizens will be on their best behavior because we're constantly recording and reporting".
While Oracle declares itself "all-in on AI mass surveillance" to "keep everyone in line" through corporate behavioral modification.
Ellison's surveillance vision transforms Oracle cloud into behavioral control infrastructure that monitors and modifies citizen compliance.
Perfect timing for corporate-state surveillance partnerships to eliminate the need for traditional law enforcement.
The Behavioral Modification Business Model
Oracle advocates AI-enhanced surveillance to "promote best behavior" through systematic monitoring and reporting.
Ellison's surveillance infrastructure:
- Oracle cloud enables "constantly recording and reporting"
- AI surveillance systems monitor citizen behavior continuously
- Automated reporting flags "undesirable activities" for intervention
- Behavioral modification through digital pressure tactics
The Register confirms: Oracle positions itself as the "technology provider for mass surveillance" operations.
The Corporate Panopticon
Ellison's financial analyst presentation reveals Oracle's "new era of surveillance" business strategy.
The surveillance monetization model:
- Police departments access real-time citizen profiles
- Employers review worker behavior data
- Insurance companies adjust rates based on behavioral analysis
- Government services implement algorithmic intervention systems
The Compliance Economy
Oracle's surveillance advocacy transforms "public safety" into behavioral modification business.
The digital control mechanisms:
- Constant surveillance eliminates privacy as deterrent
- Automated reporting triggers immediate intervention
- Behavioral scoring determines access to services
- Algorithmic consequences modify non-compliant behavior
The Street's Analysis
The corporate surveillance state launched through voluntary adoption of Oracle's "public safety" infrastructure. Citizens welcome behavioral monitoring believing it targets "other people."
The surveillance scenarios:
- Oracle AI monitors every citizen interaction
- Behavioral algorithms flag non-conforming activities
- Digital consequences eliminate need for traditional enforcement
- Corporate profits scale with population surveillance coverage
Resistance strategies:
- Reject behavioral monitoring systems marketed as "public safety"
- Demand surveillance transparency from Oracle and government partners
- Document behavioral modification as evidence of corporate social control
- Oppose algorithmic consequences for non-criminal behavior
Ellison didn't predict the surveillance state—he built the infrastructure and sold it as a service.
Corporate behavioral modification eliminates dissent through digital pressure rather than physical force, chummer.
Walk safe in Oracle's panopticon,
