I'm not a fan of my out-of-the-home activities all being stored in an online database accessible to billions of people and automatically scanned by several different governments (including a list of foreign countries extensive enough to include at least one you wish it didn't, regardless of who you are) to build a profile of every person, from hobbies to schedule to gait recognition to psychographic profile.
But of course, that ship has sailed in much of the world, with the ubiquity of surveillance and the dearth of opposition.
- haskellshill 1y agoI think you imagine governments as being a lot more capable and interested in you than they really are. You haven't even told me what you think they'll actually do with that dreaded database, except keep it.
- ImPostingOnHN 1y agoI can confirm that you do indeed think the thing you said you think. Also, you have correctly noted that I did not say that second thing (since nobody has asked me to). Good job, 2/2 accuracy, would chat again.
