It's funny how people in the US hate government so much that they seem more outraged by a national agency collecting meta-data for antiterrorism purpose, than private company collecting content for ad targeting.
- hga 13y agoIn the previous century governments killed upwards of a quarter billion of their own people; I'm unaware of any even vaguely comparable mass murders by corporations.

One may also argue that a dictatorship pretty much makes a state work like a corporation : you don't have anything to say about the way the thing is run.
