I’m not celebrating anything. I’m explaining basic reality to you. Privacy died in the 60s. Actually privacy started dying in the 1800s, that’s when retail started keeping track of who was buying what. But until computers became a standard part of business nobody had the capacity to really run the data and use it. Once that happened the data beast became all consuming, companies started grabbing for more and more data points, because they could do more and more with them.

Privacy quite simply no longer exists in the western world. You can piss and moan all you want, but it doesn’t change reality. You’re complaining about the sun rising in the east. Sun don’t care. You generate data points every single day. None of what you do to not does more than maybe reduce them by maybe 5%.

You’re not fighting a battle, you’re spitting into the winds and insisting that’s rain. It ain’t.

Again, enjoy your tech tyranny.

You do seem blind to that fact. That the technology will be misused and you personally will be affected by it in a negative way.
