The surveillance state always hurts dissidents most of all. We shouldn't neglect the importance of constraining its power.

Yes you need to go on. You dont just get to name apps and that just point blank proves your point lmfao. What is the data these places have that you didnt willingly give them that needs to be kept private

In the privacy community, you’re confused as to how big tech is violating your privacy?

Fuckin Forbes knows it. Establishment democrats know it. But you don’t?

Your cars are spying on you. How is this news?

And that has nothing to do with the post. What is the information they are collecting that is sooo dangerous? That its akin to my social security and home address being posted to a social forum.

I…responded to your comment.

While i agree with the sentiment thats a ridiculous comparison. Thinking you have nothing to hide from the government is not the same as thinking you have nothing to hide from random entities on the internet. You already give the government all of that stuff when you literally just exist. Go get a social security card or a drivers license. Absolutely asinine to try to compare the two.

And I said “increasingly the entities are the problem.” And you challenged that. And continued to. Hence where this conversation ended up.
