  No, that’s not what I said. Widespread data collection and searching used to be something only state actors could accomplish and there were at least theoretically guard rails. Now the barrier of entry has been seriously reduced, the data is owned by a corporation, and being fed to AI. That has a chilling effect as well as being ripe for abuse.

  I don’t see an upside.

    So you just make shit up as you go? You are projecting how you think things should work into reality as if it were fact. But now you are learning how it actually works and what really scares you is the shattering of the illusion you sold yourself. I mean it should be pretty apparent Google and Facebook are tools of the US government they always have been.

      “Anyone could already do this, so why bother being worried that it’s easier now” they said.

      I still don’t get your angle. Why are you defending this, or at the very least downplaying it’s impacts? You seem to also be aggravated by this data collection and spying, so why are you so mad that other people are catching on?

      “Oh, I’m so smart” they said. Enjoy your useless internet points?

        The first thing you do is make shit up so I am not going to bother engaging with whatever else you got to say.
