Almost everything based in technology spies on everyone now a days and most people are alright with it. I don’t understand why people are okay knowing this spying exists. Louis Rossman does a great job here showing us the disgusting tactics used by big corporations to gaslight people into believing them over what these companies are really nefariously up to.

      See, I am of the view that there should be a list of people who have this mentality and their data is updated live and publicly visible to all to see, and I mean EVERYTHING. Of course I’m not calling for someone to just hack systems and publish user data, but instead people get free services when they sign up for to be part of this list.

      Then we’ll see how many “have nothing to hide”

    My (often unpopular) opinion is: none. Our government agencies should exert their efforts improving privacy and security rather than subverting it. We should be a nation of white hat hackers.

      That would be amazing. I also think that everything and everyone one in any level of government should let their actions, money, etc. be open source and viewable to everyone.

        I agree with you strongly. We have the technology, it’s just pointed at the wrong crowd. The eyes of the surveillance state should be on the rich and powerful, not the masses. The price of power should be the loss of privacy.

    Couldn’t we at least use this data for something useful? Like help me find a date with a possible future girlfriend?

    I’d like to give my vehicle consent, to unexpectedly drive me to a blind date, with another car owner. Sounds romantically.
