I’ll admit that I should have been more clear that I was paraphrasing and interpreting instead of actually quoting you. The previous message was right above mine, though, so I though it was pretty clear.
Just as you have written me off, I’ve done the same for you. I’m just responding for anyone else who reads this far down and finds this thread, and only because I’m in a waiting room and this is more interesting than HGTV.
I said, and I quote:
I still don’t get your angle. Why are you defending this…
I assume the lack of a defense is clear enough proof that you don’t have one.
Palantir scouring the internet, cloud cameras like Flock, Facebook and Google retaining your data forever to maximize profit. None of that is defensible. We should be sounding alarms like OP did and making sure people are aware. Putting others down for ‘not having caught on yet’ (interpreted, you can still correct me if I’m misunderstanding) is counterproductive. We can still resist or reverse the power these huge companies have… but there might be a point where it becomes too late.
Would you prefer to be someone who helped fight, or someone who complained it was futile until it was?
Call your Senators and Representatives. Demand privacy. Elect and support people who are against these kinds of overreach if the current ones won’t.
Love you!
edit: dammit, the quote formatting ate a line break. fixed.
Honestly dude the data we actively are putting into the world like forum posts are probably literally the shit you need to be the least scared about. Have you seen the hyperspectral mixed reality stuff that military and police are getting? Cops will have glasses that can see through walls to your forum posts!
The first thing you do is make shit up so I am not going to bother engaging with whatever else you got to say.
