What about a VoIP company sending call metadata? Or a burglar alarm company sending when you are home or not? At what point can we say 'make your money decently and don't sell customer data for a few pennies or you get made an example of'?
- mcpackieh 3y agoIt's far too little. The executives should be given the death penalty for this. They and the rest of the surveillance capitalists have waged war against society and deserve guillotines for it. We need to put a firm stop to this madness before the surveillance industry locks us all into a global panopticon. The stakes couldn't be higher.
