  That summary may also explain why some men are so insecure about women earning more money than them too.

  To heat you say “Hey Google” it has to listen to everything you say, all the time. While they pinky-promise they aren’t doing anything with all the voice data they’re getting while listening, dobyou trust them?

  And the bigger the chunk, the more they owe.

  Thank you. I couldn’t remember the names and was rushing my comment before a meeting. I knew someone wouldn’t let that go without a correction.

  Calling GPS part of imperialism is a stretch. It was put in the air at no cost to another country and can be used without cost by anybody, but nobody has to use it. Other countries can launch their own satellites if they want, but they don’t because that’s expensive and GPS is free. The US isn’t making money off of it or exploiting another country with it.

  Yes, the US can jam it regionally when in conflict but of course why wouldn’t we? No reason to help the enemy.

  The boosting of propaganda and the identification, tracking and exploitation of government targets.

  People in key government positions are still people like us and they love social media too. Having an app on their phone doing data mining can identify people of interest and then collect data, target and compromise them. Even without the app on a government issued phone they can identify key people using their personal phones and then target them for more sophisticated surveillance.
