Maybe I am getting old but I am really becoming more and more skeptical of anything that's coming out of Silicon Valley. Everything Google, Facebook and other ad-supported companies produce seems to be designed to do something behind the backs of users. If the trends continue these companies will soon have world-wide full surveillance of almost everything which then will be perfect infrastructure for dictatorships. And with the growth expectations these companies will have to do more and more sleazy stuff to keep growing.
