Maybe they know that. Maybe it turns them on? Just consider people who grope, or even rapists. They know their victims don't want it, and in presence of physically fit people who pay attention they hold their feet quite still; but as soon as the attention or the ability for self-defense wanes, they come a-creeping again.
Sure I could have used a less loaded comparison, but for me that's what is going on here and elsewhere. Facebook, Google, Apple, Microsoft to name just those who certainly will not stop unless they've been disabled.
But of course, it's really hard to knock someone out for good when for anyone adding 2 and 2, there are ten people with Stockholm Syndrome doing their best to stop them; so that's why we're still here, instead of, say, the information age. Bill Hicks kindly asked advertisers to kill themselves; they didn't. So can we at least fucking stop putting food on their table? I'd like to know how an information age, as opposed to a naked emperor advertisement age, would actually look like. Since they won't do the decent thing, let's do it for them.
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me a hundred times, and people get confused and think that's just how it is. Well no, and it isn't over until the heat death of the universe, either.
