Lets not choose between evils. These aren't really overlapping anyway. If big tech has access to the data, then authorities can demand it anyway.
In any case, this isn't just about using your data to make more money anymore. It's becoming increasingly about power, so it's barely even two seperate evils. Also, government(s) are a customer for the data that big tech is "stealing."
- justapassenger 6y agoIn real world you often have to choose between evils. It's utopian slippery slope, yes, but in a current world I prefer to give big corps more power over my data than governments.
- dalbasal 6y agoIn current reality, these are not oppositional in any way. In fact, it's easier to stand on the right (or wrong) side of both. If big tech have access to our data, it's insecure and authorities will have access too. If encryption is banned, our data will be more insecure and both will have more access. There really is no need to choose.
