How dare anyone infringes on their propaganda monopoly!
Bingo! You hit it. They’re all angry that no one is listening to them anymore.

The government liked the way that software and especially the internet and cell phone apps, listens and records everything we do. They have always wanted to do that. The concept that its for our own good so that we could benefit with targeted advertising is a garbage reason to spy on your customers and sell your information to the highest bidder. In most times that would be illegal on the face of it. But the government liked the idea for themselves. So they won’t call it a crime or pass laws to stop it. The government wants in on it. And by the way, so does every other government around the world.
