Librarians *should* be exercising more judgement and objective expertise, looking at the whole picture, thinking about long term & bibliodiversity. Libraries do not receive budget to "buy content" they receive budget to "disseminate knowledge".

So, if you think it’s just about whether repros are “good” or “bad,” you get mired (as the combatants of the Facsimile Debate did) in some petty moral quicksand. It’s not the tech that’s good or bad, it’s the politics and cultural practices and economics in which a given tech is situated.

If anything, I think the point of the surveillance tech is to remove the need for basic human interaction so that profoundly antisocial people can still benefit from the transactional effects of having real human relationships
Like, the surveillance tech adds nothing that doesn’t exist with basic human interaction
