If this is problematic today, imagine how things will be in 20 years. It will be nightmarish.
You're on Facebook, you have a baby, you post photos of your child on Fb and he/she becomes an entity in Fb's database. Your child grows up and eventually creates his own Fb/whatsApp/Instagram/whatever account and the cycle continues with his own children. This is just the beginning, folks.

- 659087 9y agoThat wasn't really the point I was making, which had more to do with the fact that having a middleman recording everything you do will be so normalized to them that they'll never give it a second thought. However, that is related to the point you made.. though you seem to be trying to write it off as a non-concern by using the 8 year old with a pony example.
- hinkley 9y agoI wasn’t trying to write it off, but I was trying to be funny. To your point, I wonder what happens to people psychologically when they have to be ‘on’ all the time. We’ve built up too much of a culture of judgementalism and one of the aspects of recording everything is that everyone knows your business. It’s like living in a small town. Which, incidentally, a lot of people move to the city so they could just be treated as a random person when they go into a store instead of Betty and Charlie’s boy.
