Wait, did we go from being freaked out that our devices might be passively recording our speech to accepting it as the "good and normal" version of things? Cause I'm pretty alarmed at both.
I was going to say this! Just goes to show how dangerously effective mass conditioning by unscrupulous corporations is!
Hell, a lot of people think that caring about data privacy and -security AT ALL is for losers unless naked pics are involved ๐คฆ
I get so frustrated when people find it extremely weird that I care about my privacy at all and haven't accepted that I'm under surveillance 24/7. I know I can't achieve full privacy, but why is a little more privacy a bad thing and why do they take it so damn personally, without even telling them to do the same. There are so many people who are cucks for corporations, silently accepting every new violation of their rights as if they have no alternative.
They just don't know what is on the line. They still believe the only things those corporations are gathering are the stuff we post online ourselves.
Or they blatantly don't care. Siting arguments like "I don't have anything to hide", which irks me to no end.
"You sure you have nothing to hide Denise? Do you also leave the door open when you go to a public toilet, Denise? I thought you had nothing to hide, Denise?"
