Is that much different from Android? Google is known for being incredibly pervasive, and also invasive.
I'd argue that my phone is almost a lower common denominator than my computer. My phone knows my geographic location at virtually all times, has logged into most of my web accounts, handles all of my social contacts (definitely more than Facebook. But even people who primarily use Facebook likely use it mostly from their phone and not their computer).
If we want to care about this stuff, things need to change in very dramatic ways.
- tunap 10y ago"If we want to care about this stuff, things need to change in very dramatic ways." Absolutely & unequivocally. Hard part is, the technological means is baked into every modern SoC & NIC, huge amounts of money are being made from the 'big Data' industry created & the psychopaths are driving the bus. We survived just fine back in the Stone Age(pre-smartphone) and we can hold out for change($=vote). Principals often require certain sacrifices.
