The coronavirus pandemic has brought out the weirdest and worst in surveillance technology. People are narcing on each other in new and creative ways, including flying drones to yell at people standing too close to each other, and neighbors across the U.S. calling the cops on each other for not keeping six feet apart. In the UK, cops set up an online system for snitching.

Artificial intelligence startups, of course, are getting in on the coronavirus-surveillance surge, with maps and tracking tools that source data about who's sick, who's social distancing , and where crowds are.
