    People are stuck in web 1.0 and web 2.0 thought patterns when it comes to privacy.

      You’re not kidding, that’s for sure.

      My wife watched a video about ICE surveillance last night and she couldn’t believe they are building databases or protestors or holding airport photos of immigrants for 75 years. Normies do not understand just how bad it is, they think pointing out all this stuff is crazy conspiracy theory.

      100% of the data is out there for every single action we do now. Everything we say (smartphones, ‘smart’ devices), Where we are driving, when we are driving, when we are out and about, who we are with, who we exchange messages with, how much money we make, what we spend it on, everything we comment on the internet, all of our browser history, every message we exchange on nearly all platforms… everything is for sale. 1984 is technically feasible, today. We’re so close it’s terrifying.

        I started talking to a friend about this and he called me a tin foil hat wearing conspiracist and said even if it’s true him and his company is making money off of it so he doesn’t care.
