  I guess the crows are coming home to roost in that the owners of these companies are prepared to use them as leverage (starlink) and also are more comfortable airing some pretty wild views of how they think the world should work (Thiel with his Antichrist obsession, Ellison with his ideas for a surveillance state, The general tech bro Curtis Yarvin worship).

  Start joining the dots and it starts becoming hard not to be concerned where this is headed.

    I’d be concerned regardless of the companies they partner with, or if it’s completely government controlled.

    The problem is the surveillance itself. It stated decades ago, accelerated under Bush, and has expanded with each administration since.

    That is true that these aren’t faceless corpos but behind there are men who are out in public.
