The whole reason for having this amount of surveillance is to control behavior. People generally prefer freedom over being controlled and manipulated.

- friendlybus 7y agoI honestly don't understand how we're supposed to operate being monitored 24/7. The idea that any information that contains a personal, social or corporate advantage is likely going to go through an electronic device attached to FAANG, is 1984 on steroids. FAANG + MS has the information to out-compete, out-advantage anybody at anytime. The only reality left is radical vulnerability. If google knows I was caught DUI one night 6 months ago because I was a couple percent over the limit driving home from a nice party, then everybody has to know. I have no choice but to tell the truth all the time, lest exposure be my downfall. This applies to every single bit of data gathered and every bit of information gathered from the analysis of that data. There is a defcon talk that describes a German judge that jacked off to porn in chambers nearly every day and during times he really shouldn't be. No-one in his social or work life knew or was negatively effected. But these defcon engineers were able to deanonymize his data and reveal his behaviour. This applies to everybody now. Radical vulnerability is the only thing we have left to maintain social order. It's hell for those that want to minimize vulnerability for the sake of extreme competence. People in positions of power or capital can access that information and I gain no social security or social safety from having secrets anymore.
