Yeah but not everybody at Woodstock was recording everything that they and everyone around them did.

Almost every single citizen is now equipped with a surveillance device at all hours of their life, and they have incentive to use them and share the data they collect. This is little to no recourse for you if you don't want to be recorded. At least in the 60s it was a handful of news casters with huge equipment you could steer clear of.

This may be a bad example, because I've literally seen video of people screwing in public at Woodstock.

Cameras weren't ubiquitous then but it was a major enough event that a lot of cameras were there.

I agree this is a problem, I was responding to the notion there was no hope for the future.

I see, misunderstood you.

I could've also been more clear, thank you for the feedback.

I've edited the comment in an attempt to clarify.
