    Apologies I must’ve replied to your comment accidentally, I was meaning to post it as a general comment in the thread. It’s interesting though, there’s a middle ground somewhere but people shouldn’t need to take extreme steps to not be recorded everywhere they go. The only thing we can be certain of is that the government and companies aren’t going to give us privacy back. We have to be proactive ourselves. I just wish it didn’t have to be this way
