I’ve given up on privacy. Like I knew in my heart of hearts they were recording everything long before Snowden confirmed it.
It honestly feels kinda like being on Twitch, knowing I’ve got watchers.
Yeah, I noticed that too, I just hope the amount of people who do care is big enough to have a nice and thriving community outside of corporate control.
These products - Googles convenience products as well as the Social Media shite - were introduced gradually at the time. The single steps people took towards using these products seemed innocuous. Before you know it, your whole life is enmeshed in a privacy nightmare and the convenience and quality you were used to is gone. It's like buying an apartment in a nice place of town and then within the next two decades the area turns into a shady ghetto slum.
Oh you think?
Yea.
I try, but at this point I think it might be too late. I've been on the internet pretty much my whole life and didn't realize how big of a deal privacy was until I was in my 30s.
