Trust me, my principle focus is on collective action. This is a systemic and regulatory problem, and needs to be addressed at that level. I ... get really tired ... of people who advocate only a personal-action response, or argue that that is sufficient. I disagree strongly with both views.
That said, the systemic approach is going to be a long, slow, and frustrating road.
Keep in mind that all of the surveillance and advertising actually does subsidize the devices, though a key problem seems to be that there are no general market device options available at any price. This ... is a peculiar mode of market failure in the absence of regulation.
Good luck!
- robomartin 3y agoI am going to take a more direct path to initiating a conversation with my local US Congressional Representative. Time to visit his office. Sending a note via the website was a waste of time. Not saying an in-person visit won't lead to equivalent results. I just have to try.
