    Or all the automatics in the states, or all the cars that only seem to come in black, white, or silver. Can also look at a lot of food, especially in food deserts, or public transit being gutted when ridership is low(because it was never funded in the first place).

    People need to pay literally any kind of attention. I feel like this information, with studies to back it up that also aren’t by conservative think-tanks, is so readily available and yet also there are people who have zero clue about anything, like you’re saying.

  In which case a new industry appears that makes smart appliances stupid.

    Certain groups will lobby really hard to make it illegal and punishable.

        Yeah, true, but it certainly would add a lot of economic pressure on that industry.

        Yes, but most people would put up with it instead because they’re afraid of the consequences. As much as they use “hackers” for scaring everyone these corporations likely don’t actually care since they know it’s only a handful of people. They know they just need to be stubborn enough for someone to forget after even only a couple months, or to create a boogie man to discourage them from fighting back.

        It’s regulation or we’re fucked. Individuals do not have the necessary power to fight these large industries.
