"Accidental leak reveals US government has secretly hit Google with 'keyword warrants' to identify ANYONE searching certain names, addresses, and phone numbers"
This is historical - it is disclosure.
Talk about the constitution all you like, but was anyone in any doubt that they were already doing this? That they suck up all the data from media companies to have a mega-graph? That they are running accurate simulations of us (Sentient World Simulation), in order to better manage us?
And don't expect anything to change - Google et al could change this is a minute - they have the lobbyists to get whatever they want. They don't want. This is good for the government and the corporations. In fact, what's the difference? We are living in technocratic fascism.
- willis936 5y agoI'd like to point out that "technocracy" means society gives decision-making power to the experts.
- ineedasername 5y agoYes-- I think "technologically-enabled fascism" is probably more accurate for that sentiment.
